The open world nature of this game is not the same as GTA, which to me is a good thing, there aren't a million half-assed mini-games to play. Each section of the city feels different, China-town feels different than Little Italy. I'm not going to list any spoilers but I do feel like this plot is decent, the voice acting is pretty good for the most part, the in-car conversations are pretty humorous a lot of the time. The driving is a HUGE improvement over the first game, the cars feel like real cars would from the 40s that is spongey suspension and sluggish acceleration, this is not bad design, it's how the actual cars behaved back then. The map is actually displayed in the radar instead of the lame "map" that's in the first game.

    The guns are all fun, though the pistols pretty much all seem the same power, even the magnum (and the magnum sound a little goofy, like a cartoon gun). There is an actual cover system in the game, and overall the fights are much improved over the first game. This is a great game, it's heavy on graphics card, so I recommend looking into mods on how to disable the physics of the clothing in the game.

    Overall I've really enjoyed this game and don't understand why people are criticizing it for NOT being just a GTA clone, it's a game I honestly find more fun than GTA.

    the bad: not much to do in a big open world. no side missions
    if there had been side missions and the world was filled with places of intereset where you could go after a tireing mission and play darts or smth, it would have been the best game that had come out this year. but...
    my point of view-- if you want a game with a very good story mafia 2 is a must buy. but you would be better of renting one. 8 out of 10.

    Just for atmosphere alone, I rate this game 10. I cannot praise the immersiveness and evocativeness of the period recreation highly enough.

I cannot praise the immersiveness and evocativeness of the period recreation highly enough. Just driving around nighttime 1940s New-York style streets listening to old-time jazz, blues and other wartime music and seeing all the old-fashioned cars and the snow-covered streets is a wonderfully enjoyable treat, particularly on the PC version with its superlative, realistic graphics. It really gave me enormous joy and pleasure to just drive around listening to the radio whilst completing the early missions, I found the period setting superbly evocative, and the snowy nighttime setting of one of the missions and the music really evoked a lovely wistful feeling as I drove around, it really was very emotionally engaging indeed just from the visuals and music. The design of the city is very convincing, you see lots of realistic-looking streets and sights as you drive around, you almost feel you are watching a film, it's terrific. I loved it. Also the shooting is great in this game, the reaction of the enemies when you shoot them is very realistic, and the ragdoll physics are better and more realistic than in any other game I've seen. So I thoroughly enjoy the shooting also, I find it fun and immersive and satisfyingly convincing shooting the enemies. I rate this game very highly for these three reasons, the visuals, the music, and the shooting. Fantastic.

    As to the story, well, I'm still near the beginning, but it's pretty good too. Get this game on the PC if you can. If you can't but think you would enjoy being transported to an atmosphere-laden 40s and 50s New York anyway, get it on console. I liked it. Try the demo anyway, but bear in mind the demo doesn't include the whole city, and is daytime-only.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Introduction

    I was hovering on this forum, and i must say. Did you guys play the same game as me? Most people here said that, Mafia 2 is a good game? There was really nothing good about this game, and here is why:

    Story

    The story was pretty bad, even if you can call it a story. You mostly drive from your apartment to Joe to do some random events. And in no particle order, like burring someone in the ground after the prison chapter. And then some chapters later you distribution some smokes to people. That has nothing to do with any story. Or like all of the sudden, we going to talk about why your father died. I mean common, the story is completely random. So I must say, there is no story in this game.

    Gameplay

    The Gameplay mostly consist of get a car, go to someone (mostly Joe), drive him around a bit, go home and sleep and do it all over again. And at some points, you need to fight multiple enemies, that spawn mostly right around the corner. And that is the Gameplay of Mafia 2, nothing more nothing less.

    At multiple points in the game, you are stripped down of your cash, guns and suits and after you finished that chapter you need to start earning everything back again. This I never saw in a game before, you work towards nothing. You lose it all every few chapters, so the multiple stores that are in the game are pointless. Because you just lose your guns, or you can find plenty in the missions. Also the game is mostly based on luck, multiple scenes will kill you right away. Like the getaway scene were they are firing Tommy Guns at you. You just need some luck to get past the first corner, this has absolutely nothing to do with experience or strategy just pure luck. Conclusion

    So my conclusion is that I never have seen a worst sequel to a game then Mafia 2. The game is boring, from the first minutes you played it, till the bitter end. Plenty of times you need to drive from one end of the town to the other end and then go back again. Were you did nothing at all, then picking someone up and driving them to a different point again.

    Also at the end Joe almost turned against you. If they did that, they would have been promoted to the worst game of the Century. But now, it is the worst game of the year. Because it does not make any senses for him to turn against you. I only finished this game on Hard, because I did not wanted to waste my 50 bucks on nothing. Pity that I got it from Steam, because I would have gone back to the shop and trade it for something else. Even a bloody WII game, is better than this piece of crap.

    At first I found this game even better then GTA 4. Better PC optimisation, very smooth graphic, nice characters animation. Comparison of GTA 4 and Mafia 2 as compared to those of your children better looking, terribly hard to say this.

Good thing is that they have real music from the era of this game, too bad they didn't license the car names. This should not be compared to GTA. If you want GTA, don't play this game. If you love trench coats and american-italian accents, you'll love this game. Expand

When I heard about Mafia II I jumped for joy, I cannot say one bad thing about it, It is full of action and adventure and is very entertaining right to the end. The game is set from 1943 to 1955 in Empire Bay, a fictional city based on New York city and Detroit. You follow the life of a War Hero named Vito Scaletta getting back on his feet in a life of crime after he came back from World War II. Just to get it out of the way no this game is not Grand Theft Auto in the 40-50's, it is alot better and more involved than GTA is and always will be. There are no limits on the map from the second the game boots up, you can go anywhere and do anything, lots of cars from the era and weapons to match. This game is defiantly worth picking up buying or renting, It's alot of fun and worth you money. Expand

Ok, so I will begin by commenting on the story, it is great. If it was a movie, it would have probably fared well, you know with all those gun fights and Mafia meetings and going to prison and such. It is not so much a sandbox game, it is more of a shooter game, I know because when I played, all of the difficulty of the game rests on the gunfights and covering system, and even some stealth. The "sandbox" aspect of the game is where you have to drive to every objective, they are long drives, and sometimes when you miss an exit, you have to circle all the way back again and drive for another 2-3minutes, you can buy clothes and guns, and that's about it, oh and take care not to speed or else the cops will be at your tail fast. Also there are plenty of fist fights, where you push the right buttons and you win. The graphics though are really novel and crisp. Even at low res, this game looks amazing and sharp and performs extremely well. This is in fact your standard third person shooter, and if your good at shooters, than this game is for you. As far as "freedom" and "sandbox" go, there is not very much to it, I might compare it to Just Cause 2 without all the optional side missions. Anyway story is good, gun and fist fights are good, just needed a little bit more development in the "sandbox" aspect of it. Expand

    As someone who acknowledges that quality will forever triumph over quantity, I really appreciate it when a game developer employs the same attitude while designing video games. For that, I highly recommend you get yourself a copy of Mafia 2 as soon as possible.

For that, I highly recommend you get yourself a copy of Mafia 2 as soon as possible. Set in the fictional city of Empire Bay, you're Vito Scalett, an Italian war-veteran trying to make a name for himself along with his childhood friend, Joe. Together, you explore the ins and outs of the Mafia.

    I personally haven't seen any of the Godfather films. I know what you're thinking, blasphemous, right? Just never got around to see them but I know it's a good trilogy so cut me a break! The closest thing I've exposure to organized crime is Martin Scorsese's The Departed. Eh, wasn't that film about the Mob? I assume the Mafia and the Mob are totally different? Whatever the case may be, Mafia 2 has got me engaged into the story so far. Captivating even, if I may add. I just purchased a copy yesterday so I'm far from completion. Roughly about 25% into the game. Expressing how much I'm loving every bit of it will be an understatement. If you're familiar with the Grand Theft Auto franchise (who the hell isn't?), Mafia 2 will come to you relatively easy. The basic mechanics are present. The entire city is sandbox so you can free-roam as and where you like, food & beverage/clothing stores to add a hint of role-playing elements, customize the cars you stole at the various garages in the city. Just to name a few.

    If you would have me describe Empire City to you in one word, stunning comes to mind. The 1940's esque is astonishingly detailed to a point where it actually feels true-to-life. Even the fashion and the various vehicles have obviously been spared no expense. The game takes place over a span of years so you can basically see the city change. From the snowy, gloom that winter brings to a city to the lush, vibrant effects of spring. To simply put it, the atmosphere the game brings is no more than fantastic. I will always like to declare that Mafia 2 is very much optimized for the PC. It's not what some of us call a "console port" where graphical hiccups causes a hit in framerate or frustrating controls. The gun fights are pretty nifty too. There's a cover system in which you will use most extensively. There aren't many assortment of weapons in the game. Probably at most five? I can't remember. But trust me, that's the most a game like this will ever need.

    Of course when you're doing all the nasty criminal work, you've to be wary of the law. The police will come after you for grand theft auto, running around with a firearm and even hit-and-run. There's a wanted system where you'll need to change your clothes or vehicle to elude capture. If you do get caught, you can bribe them and they'll look the other way. Depends on what your wanted level is though. Too high and they'll shoot on sight. If it's low enough, you'll get away with a fine. Also, I'm having difficulty naming another game that allows you to collect vintage Playboy magazines. I've collected one at the moment so I'm no Hugh Hefner. I guess going around the city hunting for pictures of bare-naked women can be seen as an incentive for some people.

    Just not me.

    Mafia 2 : Hum.. comment dire ... L'un des meilleurs jeu de mafia ! L'ambiance new-yorkaise des années 40 50 est juste magique , jeu vraiment beau et l'histoire est vraiment super . Manque un mode multijoueur mais bon il est possible de jouer en multi avec des mods :)

    "Who said that you can't return to your homeland? .."
    (c) Vito Scaletta, "Historical Homeland"

    The second mafia is not one of many games that I would go through again, and maybe several times over again. This is such a detailed, interesting, exciting, tragic story about friendship, betrayal over the course of 10 years. Everything is perfect here: characters, city, weapons, cars, shooting, physics. In this game, I was hooked most of all because it was the city of Empire Bay in the early 1950s ... The atmosphere of rock and roll, roaring cars and the post-war period. While driving or walking around the city, you can meet various situations: as one random NPC sells hot dogs, and the second asks you to clean your shoes. In the first and second chapters, you can even talk and interact with various pedestrians on the streets. Many people complain about the open ending. Like - "What happened to Joe?" For this, the developers made it so that the players build their theories about this. For some reason I liked Mafia 2 more than Mafia 1. Yes, in the first mafia the plot is stronger, but here all the same, the atmosphere wins in my opinion. In technical terms, everything is clear here anyway, these games cannot be compared since they were released at different times.

    The only thing I didn't like and spoiled the aftertaste of the game a little was the DLC. Namely Joe`s Adventures. I decided to go through it in order to find out what Joe was doing all this time while Vito was behind bars. Yes, the first mission is exciting, there is both stealth and chases on ice, but then it just starts with water ... Endless tasks without cut-scenes, so also for a while. Hijack it, kill them, take that one and take it there and everything like that. Only missions with a super-market, a train with weapons and an end mission at a construction site dilute this water a little... I think it would be better to make a couple of chapters for Joe at least with some kind of plot, and not arcade missions for a while. DLC about Jimmy, I did not go through because I realized that the same thing awaited me. In general, I advise DLC only to those who simply have not played enough of the game for all the chapters and want to "continue", but for those who need more time, I advise you to go side by side.

    In general, I strongly advise you to go through the game and get imbued with the atmosphere of those years.

    Mafia II - "The most memorable and best mafia game?".

    Let's talk about this game first I want to start with the plot of the game itself. The story of the game is really quite engaging for all the characters and all the action that took place in the game. The game itself begins with a great and exciting start. The game itself has both sad and exciting action. And everything is perfectly laid out in the story that makes the game all the more interesting. Okay now talking about the characters themselves in the game. The game's own cast really is very engaging and fun, as Vito and Joe they friends and other enemies are very interested in the game even more. The level of the game itself is really great and different, in the game we experienced a lot of action and shooting and difficult moments that hurt. The level design itself is very well laid out on all the good sides the more it makes the game better and more interesting. The graphics and atmosphere are very engaging in my opinion I think they reproduced the whole city very well and the details make it look so great and interesting. All those machines, clothes, civilization, logic. The game itself looks so detailed for example: If you exceed the speed limit you get a fine to pay for bribing the cops. Everything in the game is so well laid out and the layout is very good.

    In my opinion, the game is definitely worth playing for anyone who has had no experience with such a game about the Mafia. What struck me most was the whole history of the game and the atmosphere is all as well laid out as from zero to the highest number. I would dedicate 10/10 to this game.

Bu arada konusunu açmadan geçmeyeyim, Mafia 2 bir çok içeriğin oyundan kaldırıldığı bir oyun. Silah ruhsatı, bir çok ana görev, TÜM yan görevler, birden fazla son olması, şehirden bazı bölümler, kız arkadaş, arabalar, silahlar, taksiye otobüse binme ve daha niceleri... Bu oyundan kaldırılan tüm içeriklerin yokluğunu hissediyorsunuz. Oyunla ilgili son değinmek istediğm şey de oyunun optimizasyon dostluğu. Bu oyun en çöp pc nin bile kaldırabildiği nitelikte bir oyun. Şahsen benim bilgisayarım düşük sistemli bir pc olmasına rağmen mafia 2 yi hiç kasmadan full grafiklerde oynayabiliyorum. Kısacası fakir dostu bir oyun :D. Özetleyecek olursak mafia2 bana sorarsanız çok güzel bir oyun. Oynamadıysanız kesinlikle ama kesinlikle başlayın. Bu arada mutlaka bilenler vardır, bu oyun için yapılmış 'Friends For Life' diye bir mod var. Oyundan kaldırılan şeyleri oyuna ekleyen bir mod. Bir gün bu modu da oynamanızı tavsiye ederim. Expand

    Это невероятная, красивая, интересна и потрясающая игра.
    Тут и физика идеальная и мелких деталей куча, видно, разработчики старались, сама игра выглядит не просто круто, а великолепно и реалистично

    Крайне рекомендую данную игру для ознакомления. Сюжет на высшем уровне, играть стоит только из-за него и атмосферы. Геймплей обычен, но не надоедает.

    Mafia two is another matter of the heart for me. I love the characters, I love the story, I love the world, I love the music, the atmosphere. I understand the problems players have with it, eg gameplay, etc. I could criticize the game and write what's wrong with it, but I won't. Because I love it and it's the first game I've ever finished, so I can't do this to her. 10/10

    The combination of the ancient control mechanics, odd pacing and lack of real world entertainment drag the game down and seriously decreased my enjoyment of Mafia II. Still, it's worth a playthrough if you just adore mafia games and have a solid PC build to take it on.

    I walked into my experience of Mafia II with no real expectations other than hearing my colleague's praise. What I walked away with after playing through the story was a sense of awe and amazement that I haven't had since Alan Wake.

    A well-rendered world, with a well-realised story, though without as much actual gaming as we'd hoped there'd be. [Issue#244, p.81]
