    This is no definitive edition! more like a crash grab. I gave it an 8 because I enjoyed this game so much back in the day, and now its a fantastic opportunity to replay this experience. But as gameover.gr said below the problems with the plot, mission development, character development, driving and gunplay are still present. It can be boring some times too.

But as gameover.gr said below the problems with the plot, mission development, character development, driving and gunplay are still present. It can be boring some times too. Gets repetitive driving from point A to B since the game its so empty an we are used to open world experiences with tons of stuff to do. Sometimes the game will drop below 30 frames with my last gen rig, never in the open world but some indoors get 20 frames with 10% GPU and 5% CPU utilization, like my PC is relaxed and the game struggles to get 20 frames. Then why an 8? cause its mafia II and replaying Vito story was worth the buy and the play time.… Expand

    I think story and graphic is very good. They did the same as the previous game and I think it's nice.

    Not a bad remaster, there are bugs but not so many.Regarding complaints about shadows(everything is fine with them).Not a bad remaster turned out, the atmosphere of the game was preserved.Не плохой ремастер, есть баги но их не так много.Касательно жалоб на тени(с ними все нормально).Не плохой ремастер получился, атмосфера игры сохранилась.Not a bad remaster, there are bugs but not so many.Regarding complaints about shadows(everything is fine with them).Not a bad remaster turned out, the atmosphere of the game was preserved.Не плохой ремастер, есть баги но их не так много.Касательно жалоб на тени(с ними все нормально).Не плохой ремастер получился, атмосфера игры сохранилась.

    If you want to get lost in a good story and a decent setting then this is the game for you. I wouldn't call this a full remaster but you can slightly feel the difference while playing. The graphics might not be up to par for nowadays standards but the story and decent mechanics will make you forgive that.

    The story of Vito Scalleta is one that I will surely not forget anytime soon. The game is as fun as the first one and still retains the format of linear open-world. However the remaster is not that different from the original and it's best to play that instead.

    Тк все обладатели оригинала получили игру бесплатно, претензий к разрабам не имею.
    В целом ремастер чутка подтягивает графику, но я бы не сказал что отличия прям явно заметны. Само собой все это было сделано чтобы продать трилогию вместе с ремэйком оригинала.

    Great game with one of the best and most engaging mafia stories in gaming. Not sure why it's getting review bombed, game was even given free to any OG Mafia II owners and it's half the price of a modern game for a new buyer... $30 SHOULD be the price of a Singleplayer only 15 hour-30 hour game with DLC.

    Что лично меня очень выводило:
    - долгие поездки от одного края карты к другому (таким болела оригинальная первая мафия, насколько знаю, не представляю, кто может это счесть забавным. Более глубокого погружения не почувствовал, только раздражение);
    - редкие чекпойнты - ближе к концу игры есть миссия на заработок денег. Сам по себе процесс крайне муторный, и не дай боже вы случайно умрете со скопившейся суммой, как это получилось у меня) ну и по ходу миссий тоже хотелось бы их почаще (умерев на 3 крупной перестрелке за миссию, где вас может убить одна дробь, начинаете всю миссию заново).
    Еще в минусы можно добавить кривой движок и отвратительную оптимизацию физики (спасибо ужасному PhysX), но в целом особого дискомфорта мне это не доставило, так что этот пункт так, к слову.
    Если бы не перечисленные недостатки, то можно было бы и 9 вполне поставить.    … Expand

    I’d previously played the Mafia series but revisited with the definitive editions, have to say that the original game was a better remaster graphics wise imo but both stories were amazing, especially the endings. Definitely worth a play imo..

    I understand the people who complain that barely anything has changed. And I would not recommend this game for the full price. But if its on sale, it is a good choice to enjoy the great game once again.

    Game is awesome for me. Straight up story with missions, no **** around. If you play MAFIA I first will be great. This one was easier for me. Im rating MAFIA I with 10points, MAFIA II with 9points, but im giving extra point for Joe's smile haha :D Great game! Great story.

    A good part, the plot is better than the first, but there is not enough character development, there is a lot and it is difficult to remember everyone. It's easy to predict the ending.

    The new version of Mafia 2 is more polished, cleaner and more detailed than ever before, but the problems with the plot, mission development, character development, driving and gunplay are still present. Ultimately, players who still own the original (now dubbed "classic") version of the game on Steam, had better stick to it.

    There are other modern updates, I’m sure. It runs fine on my PC, and though I have seen reports of bugs and glitches, I didn’t encounter anything egregious. But there’s still a question of why. Why remake these games? Why put a fresh coat of paint on this weird little action shooter that is not so fondly remembered? I’m sure there are compelling business reasons, but nothing that makes sense to me as a gamer. Mafia II is an imperfect fix to a game that was already pretty flawed. Now it’s just as flawed, but in a way that can be appreciated by modern audiences.

    Mafia 2: Definitive Edition is a decent buy for anyone that hasn't played the original (on PC, anyway). It's a more complete package with superior graphics, but there are definitely aspects of the game that haven't aged well.
