    Приятная во всех смыслах игра и вполне не плохое продолжение культовой первой части.
    К сожалению много контента из игры было вырезано и как мне кажется открытый мир был тут лишним из-за его посредственного наполнения.
    Если бы это была исключительно линейная игра, то ей бы это пошло только на пользу.    Приятная во всех смыслах игра и вполне не плохое продолжение культовой первой части.

This game has quite a few minuses, such as the fact that if you finish the story, you have absolutely nothing to do. There is not even a free ride, there are quite a lot of bugs in this game, it is a very truncated work, it does not have as great a story as Mafia 1. There are still a few minuses, but these are only small details. After the story, etc., this game is great, but then you can't do anything at all.… Expand

    The only reason to play this game is for its story which is really good. Not amazing but compelling enough.

    Everything else is serviceable but nothing special. Characters are interesting, the open world is borderline useless and could have been left out, city looks good though.

I wont give anything away, but you can see that they tried to make a cliffhanger ending but just leave you saying what the hell? I wouldnt mind it so much if you could continue playing from the ending on. You cant, the game is over, no more side quests, no more exploration, after the story is over you cant play again unless you start from a point further back. In an open world game its ridiculous to not allow your character to continue exploration. If the release some FREE DLC within the next month allowing you to explore, I could recommend this game at the 50 dollar price, as it is id wait until it drops to 20 bucks.… Expand

Can't give it any better than a 6/10 because the price of the game doesn't match the amount of content. To tack on another charge for a locked part of the game is just having a laugh.… Expand

And if you want to go out and explore the city you will have to do so in between two checkpoints in a mission. The whole city feels like a big tease. Now, the game itself is good, gunfights are entertaining (though certainly not challenging, even on the highest difficulty) and the overall game mechanic is good, but it doesn't reach higher than that.

If you run into a wall at full speed with your car, you are dead. This is more realistic then other games of its genre. The shootouts can be great, and the idea that the city changes as the story progresses, is really cool. Now lets get to the dislikes. Driving. Lots of driving. Each mission is pretty much the same in this regard: You get up, you drive, you get a mission, you drive, you complete the mission, and you drive home. Sometimes there is even more driving! And that wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that there is absolutely nothing ... er, almost nothing to do in Empire Bay. Most of the shops are just for looks, and the people are far from interactive...unless you want to get into a fist fight. In that case, you have to walk up to them and push them and see if they will get into a fight with you. If they run you can either let them go or shoot them in the back. If you shoot them, the cops will no doubt show up, and the cops are all sharpshooters so you won't last long. There are some interesting things they did by making the city look more alive, but I would have liked to have been able to go into a shop, rob it, take a taxi, take a bus, and eat at some of the inaccessible restaurants. Though the game appears to be a sandbox style game, it really is not. You pretty much have almost nothing to do other than progress the story and do missions. You can steal cars and crush them in the junk yard, but that will only leave you desiring more, and when you find new locations forget about going back and messing around, because the game developers decided that after you enter an area (like the big hotel for instance, where lots of nice cars are sitting in the parking garage), you shouldn't be aloud to go back there ever again and explore-- so you'll go back to only find the doors all closed and locked. I have no idea why they did that...why couldn't the buildings I went into before during a mission be accessible later? Would it have killed them let me go back in there and mess around some? One time I got a nice car and got out of it to do something and the car vanished before my eyes. That was annoying. Even more annoying is no in-game save feature. I racked up $6,000 stealing cars only to lose it when I accidentally lost control of my car (which will happen quite often in this game) and hit a wall. Now, sometimes if you hit a wall you will die, other times you will not. This time the game decided I was dead and I had to start back from the save point with my $680-- tough luck. I sighed and just went on to the next mission. So is it worth buying? Well, yes, if you can get it on sale like I did then go for it. It's a great game to play through solely for the storyline and shootouts. But be warned. There are missions that are mostly boring. For instance, one mission has you load crates into the back of a truck. Another mission has you handing out cigarettes. Fortunately these missions are cut shorter so that you can get to the action quicker, but, nevertheless, you will be wondering at times what the developers were thinking when they were making this game. I haven't quite finished the game yet, but I have read that the game is short. Judging by where I am in the game after only a few hours of game play spanning 3 days, it sounds like I'm almost finished. It was really disappointing to discover that I didn't even get to earn money to buy a house; there was just flash scenes of time progressing (maybe a few days or weeks, I couldn't tell) and suddenly I owned a house. When I first started playing I thought I was going to have to earn that house somehow. One more thing: I think the developers were trying to set a record for the most times the F-Word was said in a game, and the nude pictures found lying around (collectibles- yippie) look like models that are wearing wigs, most of which won't get you all excited but you certainly don't want the kids in the room when you pick one up. But oh well, I give it a solid 7. I guess I got my money's worth.… Expand

    STORY
    Pretty standard Godfellas stuff. Few plots orbiting around one main plot but none of them goes on its own. Some chapters were good whereas some sucked royally (example : jail chapter). I was left wanting for more as the story ends abdruptly. I liked the main characters, others were just believable. Pretty good storytelling and dialogues. Enjoyable but way too short.

    GAMEPLAY
    This is where this game underdelivers. There are many bad limitations to the way you get around with your character (example : can`t shoot while in car) and with really no excuse. It feels unfinished because you cannot do what you are normally used to in a TPP sandbox game. There is no ranged melee (you can`t use a club, a knife). Moreover, there isn`t too many types of missions you do, most of them are just go here, wack this guy, go there, deliver this package, rinse and repeat. Some more variety would really be welcome.
    The shooting and guns is very good here and saves the gameplay just enough I could get through the whole game. Nice variety of guns, each gun is different and suitable for different type of engagements. So the shootouts are very nice, it`s just that you don`t get too use them too often (I was hoping for a bank robbery mission but no).
    Also, the cars are very nice. Very fun to drive. Again, each car is little different in a noticeable way. Just not many of types of vehicles so you see the same ones over and over.
    Sadly, the AI buries the shootouts. Your teammates are unable to getby on their own, they do a terrible job of helping you. The enemy AI is super accurate with guns, has flash-like reflexes. As in the Mafia game, the cops are really strong, take three or more bullets to put down. And they appear out of nowhere carrying Thompson machineguns. They act like military veterans, charging you from every corner. They make getting around the town a really frustrating time, and since this is a sandbox type game, you get a lot of coppers shooting you when for example you have 1 minute to perform a bombing mission. So in between taking up assignments you are forced to deal with them when they interfere and it is just very frustrating.
    The customisation options are there, but they leave a lot more to be desired.
    In addition there are some noticeable bugs that took me out of the experience.
    Also, the checkpoint system instead of saves is just horrid. The checkpoints are too far apart in time. So few times I lost about 90 minutes of gameplay because one cop shot me and I had to repeat it.

    GRAPHICS
    Very nice most of the time. The town looks ok, inanimate objects are well detailed, people look good from afar. Interiors of some of the apartments look very cool and detailed. It is the cutscenes that show the weak sides - the complexion on the characters looks nothing like real skin, more like orange couloured concrete.

    Overall a very mixed experience. Was fun in some areas, in others left a bad taste. Not the Mafia game I was hoping for.    … Expand

I wanted to keep playing to see what happened next, unfortunately the game ended far too soon for an open world game like this. I wandered through the city finding all the collectibles only to see vast amounts of areas within the city that i never even passed by throughout the story. There are no side missions or other optional quests, just the straight forward storyline and you will often find yourself passing by the same buildings, taking the same roads for every mission. The missions themselves are good and varied enough to keep the game feeling fresh but, alas, there are too few missions and every mission is placed on opposite sides of the city so you have to drive for upwards of 5 minutes to get to your destination. You'll probably be spending 75% of your time with this game driving around, and the driving itself isn't very good as cars handle very poorly and the cops are super anal and will chase after you for speeding or slightly grazing another vehicle. There is even one mission where you and your partner Joe are going to a hotel for a job and he brings along his friend because "he's a good driver", yet on the way there you are forced to drive while the guy who was brought along just so he can drive sits in the backseat. The combat is very average, nothing to write home about. You get guns, take cover, poke out and shoot a baddy, rinse and repeat. The most frustrating part of the game, however, is it's appalling save system. You have to progress through the mission in order to save, no manual saves here. One time i decided to go find some collectible before finishing a mission and i happened to die while doing it, i was respawned where i was 20 minutes before i died. What a joke. Hopefully Mafia 3 can fix the problems with this game. If it does, it will be a classic.… Expand

    Decent graphics, voice acting and shooting gameplay for a six-year old game. The story is sometimes fun yet is generally nonsensical in my opinion. Additionally, the characters are unmemorable, the driving is extremely annoying, the timed mission is frustrating and the character development is more than ridiculous.

    Not a bad game. Pros without a doubt are great story and characters. Really liked the one part where this game connects to it's predecessor. The biggest con for me with this game was lack of additional side quests after completing the main story, which offered little replay incentive. Still recommend giving this game a chance.

    Aunque, lamentablemente, hacia la mitad o algo más del juego, esto se tuerce un poco, y empiezan a ser tiroreos sin control, masacres sin sentido... la mafia no es de grandes espectáculos, trata sobre actuar sigilosamente para que nadie se entere de nuestros actos, y lucrarse cuando más mejor. Para mi, desde el momento en el que ocurre esto deja de ser un juego sobre la mafia, y pasa a ser un simple shooter, con ambientación, sí, pero dejando a un lado lo que realmente debería ser el plato fuerte.

First, the good.. The graphics are absolutely amazing, I dare say that this is the most beautiful game I have ever played on PC. I definitely loved the setting, and being able to explore a city set in the 40's and 50's, and the developers certainly did a good job of immersing you into that era. Now, the bad.. The story, while quite good, is absurdly short. I think I clocked in at about 9 hours when I finished the game, nevermind the fact that the ending is probably the worst I have ever seen in a game. The city around you seems enormous with a great deal to explore.. But it doesn't take long before you realize the only things to do in the city outside of following the very linear mission path is rob stores or crush cars for money.. Money that really serves no purpose in the game whatsoever aside from a single mission. Another thing I was looking forward to was a free-roaming aspect where I could explore the city at my leisure.. Unfortunately, no such system exists in the game, and you spend the entire time playing being on one mission or another, with no side-missions to speak of or really any choice in what you get to do. To me, this game still needs a lot of work, but I don't regret my purchase. I do have some confidence that 2k Games can release some quality DLC that might fix some of the aspects of the game that are sorely lacking, but unfortunately I know that's going to come with an additional price tag.… Expand

If anything, the first version of this with improved graphics would have been more engaging.

    The cinematics are brilliant, though testing on high settings (PC version) even for high end graphics cards, and the action model in game is fluent and smooth. I particularly like the eloquent manner in which you can hide for cover and move around more freely whilst in cover, and the fighting actions are an improvement over the GTA formula. Also, the graphical detail of environmental objects are sublime.

    However, the actual in game use of in world objects are superficial and hollow, which is a common theme that emulates throughout the game. There are no side missions, hardly any other interaction other than linear responses, and no sense of achievement in doing anything other than playing the story: all of which is very short, and also just as unrewarding. Completing the game reveals nothing more than a collection of relics and images of cute girls of the 60s era.

    All in all, this is a very average game, with nothing more to offer than smoke and mirrors.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Long story short: Its a B- game that is very disappointing to anyone who loved the original. The first Mafia was a love letter to really old cars. You had a huge garage (which somehow made sense) where you collected them, start to finish. Mafia II, cars, even though a good chunk of your time is spent behind the wheel, you could drive the first car you get through the whole game and not miss much. Most of the cars handle the same. The story in Mafia II is a MESS. It starts out really promising, establishing characters, motives, etc, then falls apart. It feels like the game was originally twice as long and they edited out major scenes to save length or something. By the climax, you have no real idea why your shooting it out with the guy your fighting. Speaking of combat, the same problems in the first one crop up in the sequel. Combat in Mafia II is really fun, I won't take that away from it. But in such a story driven game, its problematic. Accidentally killing a minor character in one part of the game spawns a whole mission where you have to sneakily dispose of the body and smooth things over with the powers that be. Fine, that's Mob Movie 101: The old guard doesn't approve what the reckless cowboy young gangsters are doing. The problem is that one mission earlier, you wasted 30 guys in broad daylight and never heard about it again. The biggest complaint: No free ride, WTF?… Expand

    Are they the enemy? The bad guys in the story?
    Nope, Vito Scaletta, that is you and Joe is your best buddy.
    Is there any redemption? Any excuse? Any reason that explains their behavior?
    The game starts out with forcing Vito to the raise two thousand dollars quickly to pay off the massive depth your deceased dad has with a loanshark, and he turns to his favorite trick of the trade: violence.
    And why not? Vito has been fighting them nazis and fascists over in old Urupe, so instead of the president pointing his finger at whom to kill, now the hand that pays him does. That is how Vito explains it.
    And Vito does not hold back. Vito will beat up a dockworker resisting an extortion racket, so all the other dockworkers will pay up their haircut money: ten dollars. That is a whole day working for them.
    And when Vito’s sister Francesa gets beaten by his unfaithful husband(because being unfaithful and beating your wife go together like a hand and a glove) he simply resorts to beating up said husband and threatening him with another round of being boxing bag if he doesn’t play nice with Francesca.

    Does Vito feel bad?

    It is hard to tell because Vito’s facial expression never changes. Nor do we hear any inner monologue commenting on his own actions. He either hides his feelings very well or he has none. And thus he comes over as a psychopath.
    The game has you follow Vito along a linear path, that mostly consists of you driving Vito from one end of the map to the other end of the map, often just to watch a cutscene, through 15 short chapters in which you make no choice whatsoever. To underscore: this is a ZERO choices story.

    You might think you are let loose in an open world where you can make your own way, working yourself up the family ladder of with larger rewards, status as the game says in the sales pitch.
    Indeed the world of Mafia II looks gorgeous and has all the feel and promise of an open world game like Saint Row. But it has none of the side missions, mini games, leveling, car tweaking or area conquering that those open world games have.
    It is an empty world in which besides the main storyline, there is nothing much to do but to drive around for a bit, look at the retroworld of empire bay and, at best, collect some magazines with retro nudity(which is more hilarious than stimulating. Made using a busty lady who has a sixties style haircut -Mafia II abounds with historical errors).

    If Mafia II was meant to portray the life of a mobster than it would have needed some better grounding. I read American Mafia: A History of Its Rise to Power by Thomas Reppetto recently and it is obvious that the game makers did not.
    By the 50’s the mafia had changed. The prohibition had ended a decade before, which forced the mafia to find different methods of generating income. Gambling was one, which was mirrored by the rise of Las Vegas as gambling paradise. Also the open violence of gangsters such as Al Capone had shown that it caused public outrage and consequently brought in the retaliation from the authorities, even though some where corrupted through and through. Nobody wanted an open gang war on the streets, it was bad for everyone.
    Mafia II tells a story that is totally add odds with this. The game abounds with open violence fought out on the streets. It doesn’t show the move from smuggling boos to gambling and drugs dealing. And most of all, it doesn’t show the change in government policies that ultimately caused the demise of the mob: an increasingly effective (federal) police force. In this game the police, let alone the feds, have virtually no role to play. Of course the police will be a hindrance when stealing a car or speeding. But if you manage to lose the pursuing cops for about a minute they totally forget about you. And if they happen to have an arrest out for you or your car, you just ditch the car in the latter case and change your clothes in the first.

    Mafia II is a gorgeous looking game, but with a linear unimaginative story that forces you to drive a lot, dislikable characters and nothing to do, it is mostly an empty vessel. Consider buying it when it is in the bargain bin.    … Expand

    I went into this game after playing The Godfather game years back. I expected better graphics, which I got, and more similar type of gameplay that I saw from The Godfather. I thought the game was leading me to eventually running the city, controlling business, making money, buying cool stuff, customizing hot rides etc., but instead, the game just ended abruptly.

    I felt there was a story around the father character that was left incomplete, and even around the sister, which both don't receive enough attention.

    Other than driving around from point A to B, spending some time in jail to learn a new fighting technique, stealing a couple of cars to help drive you around quicker, there was little else the game had to offer. There were Playboy magazines that you could collect in the game, but I accidentally that found out 3/4 into the game and couldn't care less. I actually found all the images on YouTube.

    The game was entertaining up until it ended and I found out that I wasn't going to get what I wanted out of it, which was to be my own mob boss and run the town. Customize weapons, cars, clothing and manage businesses to grow my empire.

    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.

    Disappointing for fans of both mob stories and open world games. It's been said before but it bears repeating: you can not save your game and go explore the open world as you please.

The game only saves at checkpoints, and if you die before the next checkpoint it drags you all the way back. Your weapons, money, outfits, etc are taken away from you every other mission. This is a linear story with the beautiful open world only there to make you forget you're driving the exact same route across town for the 50th time (there are what, a dozen destinations total?). Every once in a while I would spend my money on all of the guns and ammo available and soup up a nice vehicle, and try to cause a little chaos. Don't even bother. There is no dying and restarting at a hospital, and there is no getting arrested and going to jail. If either of those happen you're taken back to the last time the game decided to autosave-- often this is way further back than you thought. I've beaten a mission, been told to go home to sleep on my couch, gotten killed, and started back 2/3rds through my previous mission (usually a long driving trip ahead of me...). I don't want to come off as just trying to find problems, so I probably shouldn't mention the story. I will say that it was cliche and predictable (as many of these mob stories tend to be), and ultimately is rather fruitless. All the characters are forgettable to the point where they have to reintroduce them with your character exclaiming their name and a little exposition about what you should remember them by. This is really telling in a game that only take a day or so to beat (depending on how many times you turn off the game in disbelief because you died and went to a check point that was 10+ minutes ago). As far as the PC version itself, it appears fine to me. Graphics could be turned up to look stunning. I used a 360 controller and the buttons it showed on screen were the correct color (not sure if they just used common sense or if it adjusts to known controllers). I don't know that I encountered any bugs.… Expand

    For me this is the biggest gaming let down of 2010. The game's story and missions are easy and largly forgettable, the characters are all unlikable which means you don't really care what happens to them. But what really grates is that when you do complete the game, which won't take long at all, thats it, nothing else to do. There is no unlocks, no free ride mode, nothing.

If you do want to expand the game you have to pay for the "privilige" by buying the DLC which I won't do out of principle (that goes for all games). The original Mafia is one of my all time favorite games and it was way better than GTA3 (which was its closest comparison at the time) in every department. I'm not a GTA fanboy at all, believing 3 to San Andreas to be overrated in the extreme, but GTA 4 which if you like it or not, is comparable, beats Mafia2 hands down.

    This game is only worth buying if you value nice graphics above all else, or your into '50's/'60's Playboy covers. And oh yeah, you get to kill Tommy Angelo.    … Expand

    Short, un-original and frankly quite boring story, stale environment and paid for "DLC" which appears to be content that was removed during development. Mafia 2 doesn't have a patch on the original game, or it's closest rival GTA4.

    With its strict linear nature there is next to no replay value, unless you want to collect Playboy bunny pictures. The sad part of all of this is that there is a good game lost inside the driving, the save checkpoints, and the silly time wasting missions.

    There are no side quests and the open world is shut down on you so that there is nothing to do at all, save for collecting 2 item sets that do nothing anyway.
    In an era where we have such open worlds, its impossible for me to fathom why the creators didn't make more content within this beautiful game.

    Also the fact that the game is SO very short, 5-7 hours on (even the hardest) was a major let down
    the time you do spend in those few hours are usually chores and drive to X back to Y then home again all the way across zzzzzzzz....sorry where was I?

    The game is really only about 5 hours of game play if you skip the cut scenes, 6-7 if you don't(triple the time for getting 2 pointless object fetches that do nothing in game.

    No multiplayer and no DLC in the works again save for one that will add 10 minutes to game play for 10$ No online interaction whatsoever, no reasons to buy clothes to do anything in this game but the quests given to you. SO MUCH WASTED SPACE in this game

    The AI of the enemy be police or mobster needs fixed asap as this game is totally unplayable. Though some of the bugs did have a plus.. like watching the police ram into a gas station, killing ten wee!

    The only thing that saved this game was the scenery and voice acting which itself is not enough to hold a game together.

    Its like owning a really beautiful world in a snow globe... you can look at it but when you try to interact, all you can do is just watch. I for one will never say I'm the proud owner of this game and I've spent a lot of time with it and waiting for it.

    I for one will not recommend this game to anyone...in fact steer very clear until the price drop, and there WILL be one. All those are giving this decent scores need to play the game fully not for 10 min and go WOW..
    really play the game then compare it to other open world titles and you will see this is an epic fail with an awesome soundtrack and cool voice overs.

    Throughout the game, you don't get to make a single decision. You just watch while your character ruins his life and the lives of those around him. Yes, this is mob life but I would feel a little better about it if I had some say. On top of that, the game basically requires no thought on behalf of the player. The game is always telling you exactly what to do and where to go. It even gives you an NPC buddy on all the missions to guide you through the level. Just follow him through the levels and you'll never get lost. Oh, and he can't be killed. Use him as a bullet sponge.

    Then there's the driving. Who wants to play a video game where you can get speeding tickets? Seriously? And hit and run fines? And whenever whassname is in the car and I run a red light he says "what do you have an aversion to red lights?" I don't play video games to wait in traffic!! I also came into this game hoping it would be a sandbox game. Just so you know, it is not. You do a mission, and you can either 1. drive around and, well, there's not really anything to do because there are no minigames, or 2. sleep and go to the next chapter. Which almost always starts with the phone ringing.

    And another thing. There are times in the game where you lose all your money. More than one. So you save up all this cash, maybe you're looking to buy that special something, and boom. Gone. Yeah.

Many of the nicer looking areas of the city were not essential to the story mode, leaving them unappreciated and un required really.    Extremely disappointing!

The city, characters and cars all looked good, each district felt and looked completely different, providing a nice environment for the city. Many of the nicer looking areas of the city were not essential to the story mode, leaving them unappreciated and un required really. I liked the ability to customise your character and cars, it added a nice touch to the game, even though there were not that many options, a minor problem that could easily be fixed by mods or DLC.

    The Story of a young Italian going from war-hero to leading a life of crime, a story that was bursting with potential, but went no where. No "depth" given to the story left many things unanswered. The "ending" to Mafia 2 was probably the biggest disappointment the game had to offer. Looking past how the actual "story" was rushed along from chapter to chapter, the ending only showed you that little or no effort had been put into it.

    A major let down was the lack of freedom that Mafia 2 offered. There are no side missions, no mini games, and no free-ride mode, offering little to no reason to replay this game. Restricting players to follow the story makes the "open world" a bit redundant. Ok you could drive around anywhere before or after the missions, but there was no reason to, nothing to do other than to take in the graphics of the city.

    Missing features like shooting whilst driving and melee weapons, took out some of the "realism" of the mafia world. Hand to Hand combat had been greatly improved, but was only really needed during story elements, everyone else you just shot. Many reviews say that this is because its not like GTA, which is true, its not, but its not even like the first Mafia game anymore. I think that if Mafia 2 had been made by Rockstar Games, or had fixed the mistakes of Mafia, and added from there, this review would have been very different. To me it seems that 2K Games have destroyed a potentially great sequel, to a very good first game. DLC will probably be released for Mafia 2 to try to incorporate features that should have been in the game in the first place.

    If you enjoy the following: Lots of long winded driving sections, race against time missions, basic fight mechanics of a 1980's arcade game, cars which handle like shopping trolleys with all the weight at the front, answering the telephone, a predictable story, a sandbox setting which is actually on rails, driving every where at 40kmh, a beautifully rendered city completely squandered,If you enjoy the following: Lots of long winded driving sections, race against time missions, basic fight mechanics of a 1980's arcade game, cars which handle like shopping trolleys with all the weight at the front, answering the telephone, a predictable story, a sandbox setting which is actually on rails, driving every where at 40kmh, a beautifully rendered city completely squandered, being ripped off... then get this game.

    I thought gaming was slowly progressing beyond style over substance, Mafia II makes me think otherwise. I wish they could have made Mafia II the movie, because it would have saved me the depressing interaction.    … Expand

    Well i got the ATI 4870 X2 Sapphire and this game do not even work when you start the demo because the developers are retarded who cant understand there is people with ATI out there so they made a Nvidia drives to the game. so the game starts to use your CPU instead of your GPU...= laggggg laggg freeze screen crash.

    Just like the first one, it SUCKS. Developers lied again. This game is not a sandbox because there is nothing to do. You can shoot people and police thats everything you can do and physics are also bad. Main protagonist is stupid and unlikeable just like everyone in this game except for Joe.

    After getting out of the slammer, I decided to make some bucks. 1951, the world has changed, cars have changed, rock-and-roll, happy chicks on the streets, everything seemed to be JUST fine. I made ~ 4000 bucks at Bruski's then I decided to tune my Cossack. Spent all my f***ing money on this. So, I returned to Bruski's for another extremely boooring round of crashing cars. After that, I went to Vangel's to buy some fine clothes for the evening because Joe told me so. I bought the most expensive suit then, I saw a Potomac Indian parked on the streets. "Nice car for my collection", I said, "I must have one of these". So, I smashed its window and suddenly, out of nowhere, a police car SPAWNED. Evidently, I ran using horrible driving mechanics then, they caught me. I resisted arrest because, I didn't want my soiree spoiled by some goddamn street patrol, SPAWNED OUT OF NOWHERE. They started to fire, I started to fire, they won. Game reloaded. From Chapter's 7 start. ALL my extremely precious time wasted for nothing, because the idiots from 2K Czech decided to implement the worst save system that exists in the Universe, THE CHECKPOINT, in such an atrocious manner. For this particular kind of idiots, it simply doesn't matter. Your time and your patience. It matters more spreading their stupid faces around Empire Bay in 150 locations.
    Uninstalled it with light-speed. And the longest finger.

    It'll take many rotations of Pluto around the Sun until the games developers will jettison such horrible, horrendous, atrocious, despicable save game system, the checkpoint. Your stupid game crashes, the goddamn power outage again, the player wants to pee or poo, the player wants to smoke a cigarette, the player wants to go to bed because it's goddamn 3 o'clock in the morning... the player wants to reload the game from HIS/HER last save, NOT YOURS.
    The player wants to spam the F5 key every 5s (reloading the guns in your stupid 3rd person shooter is the same, IF you didn't notice!!!) because he/she GAVE YOU MONEY. Real ones, from their bank cards, NOT from crashing cars at Bruski's.
    The player wants to play your stupid game in HIS/HER OWN WAY, NOT YOURS.

    PS: Yeah, yeah, spare me about babbling nonsense "the system could be abused". With this kind of "creative" thinking, it'll take very short time until some "brilliant" developer (like yourself) will consider that "reloading the gun after few shots fired" will also "abuse the system".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The concept is really nice, tough a few things missing, which ruins the game.

    You cant really do anything in the city, more than stealing cars, buying cloth and kill people.
    Buying houses, getting your hair cut etc. is not possible, and there's alot more you expect, but you'll get disappointed.

    6 hours of playing and already completed the whole game, after that theres nothing left to do, it just ends.

    thankfully i didnt buy the game and played at a friends, otherwise i would feel robbed.    … Expand

    It looks nice, but it is badly broken for several reasons. One is the save method: I had do shutdown my computer and then had to sit through 15 Min of cut-scene again and 15 minutes of lost game play. That is just not acceptable.

    Boring, repetitive, no free roaming, cheesy story line. How worse could it get? It doesn't have that feeling that made Mafia 1 a great success, It's just terrible, one play through is all you need to throw this game away and regret buying it.

The combat is a generic third-person cover based shooter which we've all seen before. The game's pace is slow, and with nothing beyond doing story missions there's little depth here or free-roaming.

    Patch custom keys so users can set keys to how they want them. This is a common problem many are facing and a patch was never released for it. Crouch cannot be set to shift. etc. Forced to use default keys makes this very uncomfortable to play.

    The combination of the ancient control mechanics, odd pacing and lack of real world entertainment drag the game down and seriously decreased my enjoyment of Mafia II. Still, it's worth a playthrough if you just adore mafia games and have a solid PC build to take it on.
