    Optimization - piece of sh*t. Never buy it, because of optimization and big amount of bags

    The games even worse than the original. EVERYTHING H13 touches turns to crap! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY BUYING THIS GAME.

    Let 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 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

    As a remaster, works very well. no more bugs like in the original and you can play it now in UltraHd form.

    The graphic is terrible and they didn't change much. It is just a cash grab to make some money for them.

    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.

    Отвратительная оптимизация на ps4. Постоянные фризы и зависания.

    This game feels empty. Originally released in 2010, 2 years after GTA 4 despite having less features. The trains do not work. I can imagine a much better version of this game.

    This could have been Malcolm X: The Early Years: The Video Game. But instead its like Sopranos in the 50s. You gotta buy clothes every time the cops chase you.

    I think graphics is not changed at all, faces changed little bit, I played Mafia 2(not remastered) there were many bugs, but in Definitive edition bugs has fixed.
    Score for Definitive Edition is 3-5, but I have scored 6 points because of nostalgia and old feelings.

    This game is poorly optimized, frame rate drops, a lot of bugs and glitches, trophies that are not obtainable because they are bugged, i can't even finish the story because the mission is bugged and there is no way to progress. stay far away from this "remaster". go play a stable version on xbox 360 or ps3

    For Mafia 2 fans the best opinion to buy it. It is GREAT!!! And the Voice actors are perfect in German and in English.

    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.

    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.
