Mafia II

Can't list any Pro's for this game other than it plays well enough and looks good enough, as it has too many Con's.

So in its bad books are:

1. Content that was suppose to be in the game has been made DCL Only, most released about 2 weeks after it. Looks like 2k is trying to Out cash cow EA.
2. It _Requires_ Steam to play. Why? this is not a on-line game like the GTA series, so why do I have to install Steam to get it working.
3. Lack of QA, it feels rushed. Missions fail if Not done in a set fashion. One if you try to earn money before going back to your friends apartment you get stuck as it won't allow the friend to leave the building, forcing you to replay it.
4. AI batteries not included, any escorts or help you have get in the way at times Stopping you dealing with attackers. Other times they Attack random walking NPC's causing you to get police agro when you are trying to run
5. Zero free mode as there are No side missions, they removed them and made them all DLC.

Game has been rushed out with DLC due soon that should have been in game, which will cost an extra $US10 each. After playing the original Mafia to death this is one game I won't

I only played demo so far and i ca't wait for the game to be released. Much better graphics than on my xbox 360 so the pc version is an obvious choice. go for it

this game is brilliant,I dont know what the reviewers were drinking when they reviewed this game but I found it like the other 5 reviewers here fantastic!, it was riddled with depth, exciting gameplay and brilliant realistic retro 60's feel, not only that the game is set over 10 years meening the first 5 chapters of the game are set in the late 40's with very old fashoned cars then in the 50's everything starts to modernize and you actually feel as if you are in a living developing world, even if the cars look old to us now in the game you feel as if your driving the latest tech avalible,

this game is a masterpeice for any game fan to love, i havent played mafia 1 but why would you need too? this game is far superior in graphics and as far as my friends are concerned gameplay as well.

My ratings:

-graphics: 8/10, the graphics in this are amazing, sometimes i forget im playing a game and feel as if im playing a movie, expecially in a car, the reflections and ambient lighting are brilliant.

- sound 7/10 its very good but the audio when driving and walking down he street can seem a bit shallow and lacks the depth of a real city, sometimes my character is standing in the heart of the city and i can hear myself think!

-gameplay 9/10 this is one of the best storys i have played to date, its nothing like gta 4! its far superiour, in this you feel like you are in the mafia, not just a rambo wannabe like in gta 4, not only that you cant really compare a game made for teens and kids to a game like this...

overall its a must buy for any gaming fan, and looking at the games that will soon be relesed i say this is a good contender for your money for the next few months, the only negative I really have about this game is the length, its long but not long enough, I completed it in just over 3 days, it took me a week to complete other games in this genre such as gta.

The PC version of this is the one to have, and if the demo is anything to go by, we're in for a treat. The world is dripping with authentic details, from cars and attire to collectible Playboy centerfolds and era-specific radio stations and music. Combat is slick, the cover system is smooth and non-fiddly, but you will be tested - it's realistic in that a few well-placed shots will drop you.

It runs like a dream just now, so further polish and optimisation up until release will really make this shine. Try the demo if unsure, but this will be one of the games of the year.

Truely great in every way,can't stop playing it, The attention to deatail is amazing, This game has taken gaming to a new level...Hats of to 2K....I did Buy for the xbox 360 version first then saw the difference with graphics on a pc and then swaped.Buy it you will love it Trust Me.
