Mafia II

Lasted the rest of time gameplay a little clunky now but a fantastic story and left you wishing there was much much more! With some finely polished gameplay up to date with newer systems this could have been perfect.

Mafia II is an excellent game for those who enjoy real time video games. In addition it has a very enjoyable game play and artistic graphics. I think one of the most interesting attributes of this game is it's story.

The story is very strong and attractive. It's more like an amazing playable novel! It's unpredictable and has many rises and falls and never gets boring. Dialogs are very impressive and perfectly present the characters. Characters look very lively and events are so real that you can feel yourself inside the game. Characters mostly aren't separated into absolute good and bad, some are better and some are worse. The story tries to teach us positive lessons out of anything that happens during the game with a logical perspective. I would love it more if the story could continue a little further because there were some things unfinished. Maybe it was one other elegant point that in the real world you can never finish everything. Or probably the rest will continue in the third part of the game.

Houses, streets, cars, shops, decorations, cloths, accents, musics and many other things give you a very close experience of living in New York 1940s. There are details everywhere which are artistically added. Traffic and pedestrian also look so alive that makes the city more real.

Shooting is very exciting in this game. Sounds of bullets when fired are very real. Taking cover and effects of bullets on objects and people makes the battles very natural and exciting. I would like it better if the number of weapons in player's coat were not unlimited and his garage could contain fewer cars as it was a small place. Game is played under various conditions ; winter, summer, war, prison etc. and each episode has a fresh action to do. Cars are so real as well and artistically made that makes driving enjoyable. Clothes also are so beautiful. I love it when some parts of the clothes like tie and coat shake and move around when the player is moving.

Altogether in my opinion, Mafia II is fantastic game which is definitely worth playing. It can be informative and makes enjoyable moments for you.

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.

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.

The best mafia game out there, the first part might had a better story but this one got a better protaginist & characters, missions and plot twists, dialog and music cars and vibes, yet not the npc's or the police.
