Mafia II

So this is Mafia 2. There aren't very many games out there such as these. This is a sandbox game a lot like GTA V but set in the golden age of American society when marijuana was warned to people as being an indigenous peoples poison. You play in a replica of New York city. You start from the bottom coming back from world war 2 to your home of Empire Bay. Then, you will in the end become a mafia man or made man. There is Mafia and Mafia 3, I only have Mafia 2 and Mafia 3 for now. You can play most of the game in single player campaign without having to fart around in diners, car panel beaters etc... etc.... If you play the DLC (downloadable content) it gets even better, You don't have to waste time in places where you would be more useful somewhere else. Steal cars, kill people, blow up trucks and kill a don or two nearer the end. I think there are downsides. Cars can be rather difficult to drive and sometimes the shooting in the game has a hit detection problem but, however, a passable cover system for the most part. I bought Mafia 3 from EB for just ten dollars. Just buy it given the price. I hope 2K games will release something again similar to this but if they can. I think gamers would enjoy it. I am not too familiar with 2K games however. I downloaded the other DLC but haven't played it yet I think I might move on to something else and come back to that later. Bada-bing-bada-boom.

First of saying, I've been a fan of the Mafia series since Mafia: Lost Heaven came out back in the mid 2000's but when Mafia 2 came out it blew it right out of the water! The story follows a young Italian man named Vito Scaletta as him and his best friend Joe rise up into the ranks of the Mafia underworld in 1940's/1950's Empire Bay. Throughout the story there are a lot of twists and revelations that will leave you thinking, also glazed with gorgeous graphics for a PS3 game. The game play is solid, the handling of the cars when driving, the shooting and finally the explosions are smooth, they will complete your gaming experience (The DLC's aren't bad either check them out!) Finally, you have the historic accuracy of the real life events that also occur in game such as The Rosenbergs, Eisenhower, Auschvitz etc. The Soundtrack I couldn't ask for more great songs! A wide variation of R&B to Rock and Roll. Seriously if I haven't convinced you by reading this you need to read it again! Seriously 2K well done looking forward to Mafia 3 in October!!

The story and the setting of the game is great. I loved this game the first time I played it as it was my favourite out of all three of the Mafia series. It's great progression of Vito (the main protagonist) into the crime families was really well told. The world was a nice background of the setting of what looked like New York with fantastic soundtrack of its time. The game is not an open world game so do not expect to have much more to it rather than doing mission after mission, you can still roam the world but not do much in it. The car and police gameplay is really realistic and top notched. The game had not aged well as the game play was a bit clunky the second time I played it, thankfully a remastered version came out a while ago, so the game play has been improved and holds up better to the standards nowadays. I think everyone should experience this classic of a game especially if you like the setting of the mafia in America late 20th century (well in this case middle 20th)

I'm not just played this game,I lived with this game!!!

Mafia 2 is an epic game with tons of fun. It is mainly set after world war 2. Vito Scaletta our main protagonist comes home after world war 2 and gets involved in the mafia business of New York City.

The greatest thing about this game is its story. The story is beautifully written and it has a lot of humor in it as well. The Chemistry between Vito and Joe is funny and satisfying. It has other likable characters such as Henry and Leo Galante. The story has some twists and turns which are quite decent. Some part of its story is kind of a slog and the main story is kinda short.

Gameplay-wise mafia 2 is fine. With some weapons and it has much hand-to-hand combat and the destructive environment physics is wonderful being released in 2010.

The number of songs that you can listen to is incredible as well and the voice acting is top-notch.

The downside is that there isn't much to do around and you can get bored and there is a lot of driving as well and mainly it is a kinda short game. There are Some glitches as well but overall it is a great game considering its well-written humorous dialogues and characters and nice developing story which a little bit connects to Mafia 1.
