I’ve encountered problems like cashes to desktop, green cars without textures, some cutscenes with weird looking characters and few others. I do not know if this is how the game was released without proper quality control or this is issue with 10 year old game not playing nice with modern video cards. The story is good, characters are very likable, audio and voiceovers (Joe Barbaro voiceover is superb) are really well done, graphics are decent for 10 year old game, fighting and shooting is fun. I enjoyed Mafia 2 better than Mafia 1 Definite Edition. This could easily be 8 - 9 out of 10 type of game but there are too many technical issues. I will still recommend this game but be prepared to be frustrated with glitches.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played this game years ago and replaying just 2 months ago, and this is my review.
    What really great from this game is the story, you follow Vito, a war veteran, who wants to be part of mafia himself, the game had good character development and if you like mafia series, you probaly like the stories. However, the story is somewhat short.
    The game is set in empire bay, but not a true open world because the game follows a linear path and if you want to explore the city, you gonna have to use the "free roam" mode, but the game doesn't really use the world full potential as all you do in free roam just finding some playboy magazines so the game had almost no replay value.
    But if you really like mafia story, this game is this give a really good story.    … Expand

    Pretty good game but it's kinda short, when you compere it to original game from 2002. There is now a defenitive edition, but if you played this game before I don't recomend buying it again to get some minor dlc that came with Mafia Definitive Trilogy.

    Mafia II is the second installment in the action-adventure series Mafia. This game was developed by Illusion Softworks, same as the original Mafia. Only this time, in the middle of the development, Illusion Softworks was acquired by Take-Two Interactive. That led to some internal disagreements and the departure of Daniel Vavra, the mastermind behind the original Mafia. And it shows.

The game was released somewhat hastily, with quite a lot of secondary content being cut. What remained is still very good, mind you. The story is interesting, the graphics is very nice for 2010 and it has aged well. Gameplay is very linear similar to the original Mafia. The story is set in a 1940s/50s West Coast city Empire Bay. Mafia II features about 30 well made historically accurate cars (with changed names) and about a hundred or so of songs, that will really take you back in time. That thick atmosphere, that is what Mafia games always excel at. The game also allows you to collect vintage Playboy magazines centerfolds (though mostly from 1960s), which will show you how beautiful and natural women used to be. My main problem with this game is its length, the game really skips from mission to mission without really giving you any excuse to go explore the city. This game was released pretty polished without major bugs, which cannot be said about its definite edition, but that does not belong here. There are some minor microtransactions present in the form of "cosmetic DLCs". No SJW in Mafia II.

    This game is very good, great in fact, but somehow I cannot get rid of the idea that it could have been even better if the studio was not sold to the highest bidder. Final Verdict: 92 %    … Expand

    I finished the game for the forth time and I think it's still the best I've ever played. Story, on top of all is really great.
    Shortness of game is not a big deal if it keeps you interested after playing for several times. It never gets boring.
    i really wished to see more sequels to Vito Scaletta's story. Characters look so realistic and alive. And this is what a Mafia game needs.    I finished the game for the forth time and I think it's still the best I've ever played. Story, on top of all is really great.

    1 puanı kırmanın Mafia 3'ün rezil çıkmasından, sonun belirsiz olmasından ve bazı yerlerde sanki nasıl desem ki oyun sanki tamamlanmadan apar topar çıkmış gibi. Çıkmış olan dlc'ler sanki oyunun bir parçasıymışta sonra bizden para kopartılmak için çıkmış. Bu kadar kötü neden saymama rağmen 9 puan alan bu oyuna bence bir bakın :)

    Мафия 2 имеет хороший сюжет, грубый, жестокий и с прекрасным повествованием. Но Мафия 2 также имеет хороший экшен, где приключение и свободный мир создают идеальную смесь геймплея вместе с быстрой стрельбой и реализмом последовательности вождения. Всем советую пройти эту игру хотя бы один раз.Мафия 2 имеет хороший сюжет, грубый, жестокий и с прекрасным повествованием.

    Отличное исполнение. Графика нормальная.
    Очень нравится сюжетная линия и постановка диалогов.
    К сожалению Мафия 3 не сумела даже на не много приблизиться ко второй части, ни в графике, ни в сценарии ни в постановке диалогов.    Отличное исполнение. Графика нормальная.

    One of the only games I’ve ever REplayed more than once. This game is dressed with an inexplicable charm only achieved by a studio with all teams working towards the same goal. The lack of free roam is an issue at the forefront, but with a story as well thought out and executed as this, it’s forgivable. Lesser games without an enchanting story would have been hurt far more than Mafia IIOne of the only games I’ve ever REplayed more than once.

    Mafia 2 is a game that gets you in the world of Italian crime families and it does it quite good but there are a lot of things that could have been done better...

    I feel like every time I want to do something, the cops are always around the darn corner and start chasing me....
    Being chased on red lights and after being hit by a car, the cops always start to annoy the hell out of me...
    -The handling on certain vehicles is awful...
    -The traffic is bad...
    -Poor melee combat
    -Fuel required for cars
    -Not much side stuff to do....
    -The story
    I liked it and it started on the right foot but as chapters were changing, I did not see anything real happen until like more than half into the game...
    Some missions were really boring and to add the cops I mentioned before....
    The gas stamps mission for an example... Not only there are no checkpoints, there is a time limit and every time I get chased by them I have to restart to do it right...
    The game`s story was not immersive enough and it ended rather quickly...
    At the end I was like : Is that it ???
    Not even free roaming ??? WTF Why was that even added ???
    A lot of people were trashing Mafia 3 but that game had a lot improved...
    If I compare a similar game, The Godfather 2, I would recommend that instead of Mafia 2...
    The atmosphere was captured well (culture, music, cars, society...)
    M 2 is a solid game but not enough for me to remember it and replay it...    … Expand

    Many are complaining about how linear the game was. For me, i felt glad that they took the linear route. You cant craft a good narrative driven story without making it linear. This isnt a RPG.

    The game has an excellent story, in addition to the cars and great classic blues music of the 50s. Although there are no side missions, graphics are outdated and the direction of the vehicles is a little difficult, it is worth the purchase. It's like an interactive movie and a mix of GTA and LA Noire.

    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.
