Mafia II a big disappointment. I expected it to be a little more different from the first part and may be more. Don't get me wrong, the story is good, very captivating, the 3d world is highly detailed, superb graphics and neat cars but what spoiled the game for me is the short game hours, close ended game design, no option to buy properties, less interaction with the environment, no free time between missions and the worst of all, incomplete and sudden stop to the story. It may be a good strategy for the developers, leaving the gamers in cliff hanging situation but at times it creates bitterness.
A game after all these years, you would expect it to be able to compete with GTA series but in major portion it failed. True the GTA characters were kinda weak compared to the characters of Mafia II but that had more option and flexibility. A disappointing feature of Mafia II is that the protagonist CAN'T swim!! Come on!!! A few missions on the beautifully created waters, boat or ship would have been wonderful. There were few pretty cars but hardly any time to drive them around. And trust me after you once complete the game you will not want to have a go another time.
Mafia II is a neat game, no doubt, but would have been a game of the year if it had overcome those flaws. We had high expectation from the maker after they had delivered such a wonderful first part, but i guess the expectations were misplaced. If you come across it, do play it, you will love the game and the story, but i will not be responsible for aaaany outrage after you finish the game.
Happy gaming!!
