Graphics

Beautiful graphics, just a few issues for the main cutscenes which I think should be better for more realism and to help the story (facial animations need a lot more improvement)

Comments

The graphics are very good overall, but some textures lack. The same applies with Empire Bay, the city is fantastic but lacks in variety of buildings cause you see a lot of the same buildings. © 2011 Mafia-Daily.net

Sound

The sound was good but when you’re out walking, maybe more birds chirping and possibly being able to hear squealing of breaks and an idea is for people to be playing instruments.

Comments

Great voice acting for the most part next time, employ actual Chinese people if you want to do a Chinese accent. The GTA-style jokes of random NPCs are not appreciated and take away from the feel of the game - if I walk into the poshest store in the city I don't want the cashier to say the clothes have been hand-stitched by crying children. GTA? Yeah, fine, I'm sure that's great for the people that like it. Mafia? No. Be funny with the characters and how they are with each other, not immersion-breaking jokes. © 2011 Mafia-Daily.net

Obviously needed to support steering wheels. Even with the emulator, the speed sensitive steering and ridiculous dead zone ruined the driving experience almost entirely. Should have used Direct Input exclusively for PC. Nice thing you did with the cover system. Very good. Just feels great. I think that the only thing I didn't enjoy with the controls was that sometimes, I couldn't to everything. Like, in some cases, I couldn't run because it was a fighting scene. I think you know what I mean. Also, I wasn't to pleased about that I couldn't sit down on chairs or jump in mid air.

Characters

Overall excellent but the side mission characters felt pointless and like empty shells after their missions were done (like Mike Bruski). Needed more depth/more missions. I occasionally felt no real connection to Vito but overall I liked him, but sometimes seemed to be a lost soul.

Comments

I don't remember much about the characters really, don't take my choices too serious. Although I hate missions where I have to turn against people I already became a friend in some earlier part of the game. It makes me feel like I'm a traitor actually.

Gameplay

Nice gameplay, just a bit messy, like the wanted posters. We should have gotten those in Jimmy's, that would have been a good reason to play the DLC.

Mafia II was way too short! I tried to have fun driving around and going away from the objective but I wanted to keep going with the story and there was nothing much to do while going out and exploring other than exploring. The story just felt like it was incomplete and so was the ending, in which it just went on and then ends out of nowhere. An idea would be for side missions and to be able to free roam after the finale no matter what happened at the end!

DLCs

I was very disappointed with the DLCs. None of them has cutscenes, well Joe's Adventure has, but not so many. And you could easily notice that the DLCs was taken away from the main game and not built after. It felt and still feels like you only care about money and not us, the customers, and that's bull****. 2K, I liked you before, but you have changed. If you want to earn money, you have to make your customers happy. Instead of butchering your games and adding DLCs, ask your fans what they want. Better games means happier fans means more money.

Collector‘s Edition

The Collectors edition needs an antique look and feel. Also a typical game element of the time, i.e. a whiskey glass would be nice.

Comments

Today's top games are already costly enough. So to pay even more for just a few extra digital things isn't anything I care about.

Manual

The manual is good and the poster included with it is great!

I am glad a manual was included, but I felt it was insufficient, especially in explaining the technical aspects of the game and did not explain many aspects at all (difference between normal and simulation mode in driving, for example). It was only five pages (three if you don't include the credits) and for such a pricey and desirable game I would have expected at least eight pages.

Comments

The worst manual of any game I have owned! Seriously it is completely pointless with absolutely no detail or info other than the controller layout. You wouldn't know it was for Mafia II if it didn't say it on the cover. The map does make up for it slightly as it is nicely made with lots of detail but still no excuse for the manual lacking to the existent it does.

Conclusion

To what extend did Mafia II meet your expectations?

Mafia II met my expectations.

Mafia II did not meet my expectations at all.

Conclusion

In general, I hope the next game (if there is one) will last longer and have more options as in what course to take in each mission. A better, more complex story with characters that appear each in more than one mission would be great, too.

I wish a new era (60's-70's), muscle cars, more interesting missions, and new city, which looks like Las Vegas!

Comments

For the most part the city was very quiet. There need to be scripted events like police car chases, civilians fighting, store robberies… all simultaneously throughout the open world to provide more immersion of a real, lively city.
