The game shines in its cinematic narrative, especially the relationship between Vito and Joe. The dialogue and voice acting enhance the realism of the characters. The city design, clothing, and cars accurately reflect the era.
The gameplay combines shooting and classic car driving. The diverse missions and wonderful soundtrack enhance your immersion in the game world.
Despite some flaws in the open world design, Mafia II remains an excellent experience for fans of crime games.
If you're looking for a powerful story and unforgettable characters, don't miss this game. (8.8/10)
Willing to be part of the Mafia in Empire Bay, he will go to the ends of the earth in order to achieve his goals, wishes and protect the people that he loves. Along with his best buddy, Joe Barbaro (Robert Costanzo), they'll face hurdles but will also laugh, drink booze and of course, kill people that stand in their way.
A perfect and truly enjoyable game that never gets old no matter how many times one has already played it, "Mafia II" deserves to be enjoyed by every gamer who is willing to invest in a game that is 100% worth it.
The game, now after 14 whole years after its release, doesn't disappoint in the slightest. Packed with lovely graphics, a very enjoyable and thrilling story that has it's ups and lows for its characters, that sees them depend and fight for one another.
The protagonist's voice actor's voices and performances have been cemented in almost every player's head. The voice actor for Joe is essentially an iconic character that has won the hearts of the Mafia player base. Both characters have made Pop Culture icon status and with good reason. They're interesting, hilariously funny and with good heart characters that care for each other.
The simple but elegant graphics and the beautifully depicted as well as designed Empire Bay, make the viewer feel like they could be inside it as well. The tangible Empire bay is full of secrets, interesting landmarks and filled with an open world ready to be explored and dissected.
The definitive edition is just a slight improvement, mostly on the game's crashing issues, which are essentially gone. There are some graphical improvements but the definitive and classic version are essentially the same.
The story ends with a cliffhanger that is taken straight to Mafia III, the sequel to Mafia II (in an albeit small part of it). The ending is still talked about among the fanbase, that still causes intrigue, mystery and big questions.
A perfect game that should be the blueprint of future games, "Mafia II" is a game for the ages. As time moves on, so will the game be eternally considered the best Mafia game in the Mafia franchise and be forever more cherished by the current and future generations to come.
I'll list a few things and you'll be the judge. The game (which I replayed now in this version and I reckon they tweaked it a bit - especially graphic wise). Let's start with some of the more negative stuff - even with updated graphics ... this feels quite dated. And it has nothing to do with the time(line) it plays. The controls of your character? Quite jerky and not in a good sense. Aiming and driving? Some people may have and take issue with that too.
It's not that it is super bad - it just can be better. Now you always have to take into account from when the game is. I can not compare it to similar Rockstar Games (as in GTA and all that) - I don't remember when they came out and how they used the data they were able to use (if you never experienced it: games were put on discs - limited space/data drive).
The radar is helpful, the statistic help (especially if you are after trophies and/or achievements) ... but both have their shortcomings too. You can't see enemies on the radar - except "final" bosses/targets. You are also unable to see the exact collectibles you have gotten. For that you have to leave the game and go into the menu. First world problems but still unnecessary to a degree.
Enough for now with the negative ... why would I give it a 9 anyway - yes I rate nicely (wasn't sure if 8 or 9 but here we go) ... but the game has a rock solid story. Based on real events and people (characters) ... at least one you may remember from Goodfellas ... and if you don't remember him .... you'll be reminded at some point about him.
The dialog is great and while there is not much to do other than the missions (no playing dart, golf or whatever), that should be enough to keep you going and interested. Not to mention the almost 200 wanted poster - over 30 more than the original game had ... good luck finding all of them. Playboy Magazines can be found too - discretion advised ... there is nudity on some of them (animated). That may bother or excite you - up to you.
You have quite a lot of weapons to choose from (Mafia 3 seems to only have two main weapons - but I only just started that, more on that when I am through with it), the driving can be tedious but also a lot of fun. The script for the game is more than tight and really cool. If you are ok with violence of course being displayed. Not for the sensitive ones - but with a title like this ... I mean you didn't expect flowers and rainbows and all that? I hope you didn't.
The stories are different from each other - and while you seem to lose a lot of things (money being amongst them - so doesn't make much sense hoarding it), you will be able to gain a lot too.
And now lastly .. the soundtrack! I mean it is amazing to say the least ... many classics of the time period ... That's amore to name just one - everyone or most will know this for sure. One song I didn't know or had heard before I played the game (the first time over a decade ago) really left an impression on and for me! It's called Book of love by the Monotones! If you have not heard it yet ... well check it out. I can't promise you will like it - I mean love it as much as I do ... one of the reasons maybe I went for the higher rating(?) ... enjoy this while I am getting on with the "sequel" (apparently not just in name, but more when I am through with it)
