4.0 out of 5 stars A very enjoyable 7-8/10 game, but with some glaring flaws., August 29, 2010
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Mafia II (DVD-ROM)
Opinions on this game have certainly proven to be as divisive as the initial reaction to the original Mafia in 2002, right down to the 4/10 Eurogamer review. It's understandable because while Mafia 2 does far more right than it does wrong, the wrongs are difficult to ignore.

Mafia 2 is a linear story-driven game set in the 1940s-1950s with an open world city as a backdrop for immersion purposes. This game is not a GTA4 clone and has never advertised itself to be one, any expectations for it to be so are entirely the fault of uninformed gamers. The city is about 10 square miles in size and highly detailed, it's a beautiful recreation of the time period and the devs use it effectively during certain story segments to give the impression of a city evolving with time. There are gas stations, clothing stores, diners, gun shops, body shops and a scrap yard/docking area to interact with throughout the game, along with different living residences depending on where you are during...

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun story, August 26, 2010
By 
Sedryn (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Mafia II (DVD-ROM)
Fun story but that's exactly what it is a playable story. Linear with no story line branches.
Graphics are great. Sound and immersion factor are good. Controls are so so.
No option to use a racing wheel for driving. Over all still work a play through.
I highly recommend "The Saboteur" Same era with just about as good graphics but
many more options, free play, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!! But not for everyone., August 29, 2010
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars

SHORT REVIEW:
I've been waiting for Mafia 2 since a couple years ago when I first heard of it. I'm not a shooting games guy, but I played the first Mafia several years ago and it's still one of my favorite games. Mafia II uses a very similar formula to the first one overall and, although they took away some things from the first game that I liked a lot, they added some other and it's a freaking game!!! They put a lot of attention to details all over the place. Still, I understand why some people might not like it, there's a lot of driving, and sometimes you have to do not-so-exciting stuff like loading crates on a truck. If you're on the fence I'd suggest you to download the demo and try it out or keep reading, I'll go into more detail without giving any of the story away.

LONG REVIEW (Read the short one first):
The driving is amazing, the cars get smashed, parts of them fly out, the trunk and hood unlatch when you hit'em, etc. They even get dirty!!! The other... Read more
