    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

The shooting mechanics are decent however some of the guns feel very weak and inaccurateLet me start by saying that the game itself is pretty good. It has aged pretty well and is still fun. Great story, great characters, great music, really good setting and atmosphere. The game has a lot of nice touches and attention to detail that a lot of other city-based open world games do not have. The shooting mechanics are decent however some of the guns feel very weak and inaccurate especially from longer range. The AI of course can snipe you with a Tommy gun from 100 yards away even when you're in cover but you couldn't hit a wall from 10 yards, it can definitely get frustrating but again not a deal breaker as most of the time it does work. However, this being advertised as the "definitive" edition is where the game fails. It is riddled with bugs and audio sync issues. Constant stuttering in and out of cutscenes. Frame drops are constant, lots of pop in, and the game crashes quite a bit. I'm playing on the regular PS4 but these issues have been reported on all platforms including PC. The graphics themselves do look better, and the lighting is improved over the original but again the performance issues are absolutely noticeable and do interfere with game play especiallythe driving. I'm not going to lie I have still been having fun with this game as its not entirely unplayable but if you're sensitive to the performance issues you will hate it. There is no way to defend this game, this "remaster" is an absolute slap in the face to fans and the fact they're charging money for a game that performs worse than the original is unacceptable. Hopefully a patch will be released to fix these issues but as of yet I haven't heard a word from 2K of course, they're more concerned with selling their inferior product. Game itself is solid, the performance however, is terrible and I cannot recommend this game whole heartedly as I would like to because of performance. Either wait for a sale, or until the issues are fixed. ✌… Expand

    Mafia 2 is a great game with an awesome story, unfortunately Mafia 2 definitive edition doesn't do anything except make it a less enjoyable experience, with an absolutely absurd amount of bugs and glitches. This is not the definitive way to experience Mafia 2.

    Overrated as hell. Very cliche (which is not a problem by itself) but the cliche was not done that good. The fact that everyone around me kept saying that would be one freaking good game didn't help it neither, and I ended up very disapointed. Probably will never play it again unless if I decide to make a video for YouTube or something like that.

    The only praise worthy part about DE remaster are the in places visibly upgraded textures, especially the road/ground textures aswell as sharper looking cutscenes, character models look a bit more refined, but overall in most places it's hard to notice any major visual upgrades. As far as i experienced and know, there are no gameplay refinements in this release, for better or for worse...probably for the better.

    Then comes the fun stuff. The frame rate is mostly solid, but the game keeps micro stuttering all the time, no matter the graphics settings. It's tolerable by my standards, but for many people it would probably be deal breaking. Then there are frame drops where there shouldnt be any, especially during times when it rains in-game. There were some bugs and glitches, like an NPC spawning in out of nowhere and starting to beat me up, in one cutscene a character's eyes glitched out for the entire duration, but overall nothing literally game ruining. Oh and the game now loves to crash way too much for my liking. The PhysX appears to be even more broken in this remaster than it was in the original, with PhysX on, the frame rate simply dies, like 10 frames per second dies. So, sadly i had to go about without seeing the fancy PhysX effects on display. The DefEd also comes in at around 35 GB in size, compared to around 10 GB originally, i dont see why it should be taking up 3.5x bigger size since the visual upgrades are subtle at best.

    I think the biggest issue with this remaster is that it doesn't look like a remaster. Taking a look at comparison videos, a lot of the textures did get upgraded... but to less blurrier textures. At least with remasters like Burnout Paradise, every textures looks crisp and clean. However, it just seems that you are just playing the original game since many textures are still low quality andI think the biggest issue with this remaster is that it doesn't look like a remaster.

    Then comes the issue with Apex, and PhysX. From what I understand, NVIDIA PhysX is still there, especially since the logo is shown when you start the game, but the option to enable/disable isn't in the menus anymore. However, the Apex coat physics seem to be gone or at least disabled. Once we find out more, then I'll update this.

    I'm still happy I got it for free for owning Mafia II, but for the people who were looking for a true remaster, this isn't it.    … Expand

    • The Scummy strategy which is being applied to the Mafia franchise:
    The strategy which was applied is an absolute insult, they removed the original mafia 2 to give place to a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ half-baked remaster which is more expensive than the original game. They should have kept the original Mafia 2 for cheaper and also add the definitive edition to the store as a more expensive version for those interested, instead of shoving this ♥♥♥♥ down everybody's throat.    … Expand

    I've beaten Mafia twice in my life, once when it first came out in 2010 and now a decade later. There are two primary positive aspects to the game: the story is relatively enjoyable, if a bit short, and the aesthetics were pretty good for the time period that it came out. I would say most everything else about the game is at best, neutral or "meh" and at worst, just absolutely terrible.I've beaten Mafia twice in my life, once when it first came out in 2010 and now a decade later. There are two primary positive aspects to the game: the story is relatively enjoyable, if a bit short, and the aesthetics were pretty good for the time period that it came out. I would say most everything else about the game is at best, neutral or "meh" and at worst, just absolutely terrible. There are bug/glitches galore and you spend as much time fighting the controls/camera/poor vehicle handling as you do the enemies.

    A truly tragic amount of content was cut during development and it is very obvious; the main story-line is a shell with virtually nothing to do besides the primary missions. Basically all side content was not completed in time and tossed into the garbage. This is immediately noticeable as two characters in-game were obviously going to have numerous side-jobs, but instead they just comment that they have nothing for you to do right now.

    A minor nit-pick that I was personally flabbergasted at, is that the voice actor for the secondary protagonist, Joe Barbaro, also voices another main character in the story. They sound almost identical, except one is constantly making "lip-smacking" eating noises while speaking. It's puzzling how they failed to appropriately properly budget for another voice actor.

    Speaking of Joe, his DLC titled, "Joe's Adventures" may possibly be one of the worst hunks of flaming trash that I have ever encountered. I'm not sure if they put some junior intern team on this debacle or what, but it fails spectacularly in every aspect. It is frustratingly unbalanced and was not play-tested in the least, the missions come in floating icons hovering off the ground with no cut-scenes nor rhyme or reason explaining the greater story behind your actions, and it adds virtually no new concepts/mechanics. They also failed to record enough lines from the voice actor, so like that Rick and Morty episode, you're going to hear, "Hey, it's me, Joe." multiple times. All together, this is something I would expect from a fan-made mod, not a professional team. If I had purchased it as DLC (rather than coming packaged with the whole game now) I would be furious that I had been swindled

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mafia II is a lazy repetitive, buggy, unfinished GTA IV wannabe with no charm or identity whatsoever. Usually people accuse games like Sleeping Dogs of being a GTA clone but at Sleeping Dogs has an original and unique setting with melee combat that, while not the best ever, manages to separate it from GTA. GTA IV has better combat than Mafia II despite coming out two years before it. The mission structure is non-existent, and yes GTA games have always been repetitive but at least sometimes you had a tailing mission or in GTA IV you have the choice to kill certain characters or not, or if you don't catch to this guy something different happens. Here it's just go here, oh **** went wrong, kill this guy and his goons, go there, oh **** went wrong (again), (don't) catch up to these guys because the game is not programmed to let you. The story is half-assed but the best part of the game so I'm willing to let it slide, despite it not being as good as the first. the gameplay is horrendous, cars handle as well as forklifts on **** LSD, and yeah yeah realism all you want it doesn't for fun gameplay when cars either turn too fast, or too slow. The shooting is horrible, don't even bother with the lock-on, it almost never works, and the game developers thought it was a good idea to make the crosshair as big as your character's head and bright red in the middle of the screen, making the shooting galleries where you gun down poorly designed lines of identical clones (oh and I mean that literally, as Asian and African-American NPCs literally have two models for the entirety of the game) that serve as missions, unbearable. Money is meaningless, no need to even mention it as half the weapons you can ''buy'' with money are either useless or ones you'll have already obtained from the bodies of dead clones, oh and you can buy cars with it, why anyone would want to own cars in this game is beyond me as you can steal vehicles that are a hundred times better than the ones you can actually afford. The open-world is empty and lifeless despite having businesses, likely due to the fact that half the game was cut and mission checkpoints prevent any kind of interesting exploration as you'll often lose 40 minutes if your game crashes or you make a mistake. Bugs are frequent, as well as graphical glitches, cars flying across a street for no reason, leaving me to guess that the game was unfinished and that's why most of its content is cut. I remember people complaining about GTA V's downgraded and terrible melee combat, well despite it being the truth they clearly haven't played this game, where half of the animations are atrocious looking and every fight is avoid, avoid, punch, to add to that the broken physics make it especially jarring. The way the ''mob'', oh and calling it that is generous, is portrayed is ludicrous, especially when you watch real life criminal and caporegime Michael Franzese debunk myths about the way the mob is shown, so I suppose the writer was the developers' 12 year-old son that wrote the story after seeing Scarface for the first time. One last thing you'll notice is how broken the physics and hitboxes are for NPCs and etc, sometimes you'll shoot a cop 2 or 3 times through the head with a revolver, only for him to shoot you back and kill you, add to that the broken ragdoll physics and you have Mafia II, a game that tries to be a Mafia game and fails, a game that attempts at being a GTA game but fails, overall a terrible and lackluster experience that I couldn't recommend for anyone who loves the first game.… Expand

You are definitely going to notice that this is not the original Mafia II. The huge number of bugs will definitely distinguish this remaster from its original counterpart. These bugs affect the graphics (glitching hats, glitching smoke, you have to enable clothes physics manually by deleting a folder etc.), audio (mission music will keep playing forever after finishing the mission, glitching cutscenes audio) and gameplay (you might get twice the amount of money for Bruno from Joe). Lots of the bonus cars and clothes are only available on second playthrough, which is just idiotic given that this is a remaster of a game that we have all played at least once in the past and also the fact that this game is very linear that the second playthrough will be exactly the same as the first one. Oh and the best bonus car is locked until you connect your game with a 2K account.

    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.
