Playing Mafia 2 on the PC gives you the chance to enjoy the world of organized crime from the safety of your own living room. Not only do your best friends betray you for some extra cash, but also a steep prison sentence is always around the corner. The real stars of the game are the characters, everyone you meet is important and interesting, there are hardly any forgettable characters, and interacting with each one of them is great.Mafia 2 showcases the fact that mob life can be brutal. Story - 6/10 - (Fine) Many people say that Mafia 2's story is amazing, don't get me wrong, it is pretty good, but a little on the underdeveloped side, especially the ending. My main criticism would be the driving, even though it makes the cars feel like antiques, in missions where driving is essential, it is a little annoying since most cars feel really heavy and slow. Gunplay is amazing, you have to get used to some of the high recoils, but overall, really fun and engaging.
Gameplay - 9/10 - (Great) The game is a soft sandbox, the city is open but there's not much you can do besides driving around, the city carries a lovely ambiance and is very well constructed, it always feels lively. Mafia 2 holds up very well to this very day. As with many of the PS3/Xbox 360 era games the real issue lies in the more detailed textures, face textures, and some models often look ugly, but it can easily be overlooked.
In-Depth Review TL DR Review - Final Score - ( 8.5 ) Very Good In-Depth Review (Spoiler Free) - Visuals - 8/10 - (Very Good) Visually Mafia 2 sometimes can be stunning for a 10-year-old game, Vito's face model is great to this day and everything is really good looking from far away. Overall I've really enjoyed this game and don't understand why people are criticizing it for NOT being just a GTA clone, it's a game I honestly find more fun than GTA.

This is a great game, it's heavy on graphics card, so I recommend looking into mods on how to disable the physics of the clothing in the game. There is an actual cover system in the game, and overall the fights are much improved over the first game. The guns are all fun, though the pistols pretty much all seem the same power, even the magnum (and the magnum sound a little goofy, like a cartoon gun). The map is actually displayed in the radar instead of the lame "map" that's in the first game. The driving is a HUGE improvement over the first game, the cars feel like real cars would from the 40s that is spongey suspension and sluggish acceleration, this is not bad design, it's how the actual cars behaved back then. I'm not going to list any spoilers but I do feel like this plot is decent, the voice acting is pretty good for the most part, the in-car conversations are pretty humorous a lot of the time. Each section of the city feels different, China-town feels different than Little Italy. The open world nature of this game is not the same as GTA, which to me is a good thing, there aren't a million half-assed mini-games to play. The game's plot like is basically a mixture of the Godfather, and Goodfellas, you're a war hero, come back from the war and fall into a life The game's plot like is basically a mixture of the Godfather, and Goodfellas, you're a war hero, come back from the war and fall into a life of crime with your friend.
