Got it in the mail today. Demo didn't impress at all, but I hope the full game has more to offer. I too have fond memories of the first Mafia, hopefully it'll get good once you get into the story.

IGN = great math skillz

Well, I'm pretty sure IGN states that its not an average score, since some elements can weigh in more heavily than others.

Plus I'm sure that....Imagine Party Babiez....Babyz, is a fairly competent game as well

THANK GOD IT'S NOT A CLONE OF BORING GTA

btw. HP - predator chopper:

Yeah he meant Long Tall Sally but you're on point there.

I think predator jungle music would stick out a bit in a 40's urban crime game

And since predator has come up I now expect d3 to suddenly de-cloak in this topic and mention something about slack jawed faggots.

You're all a bunch of slack jawed faggots.

What the cunting fuck is this shit?!

Why are all the Mafia II reviews complaining that there's no sandbox gameplay.. the original wasn't a sandbox game and this was never intended to be either! Agrrrh, Mafia is about storyline and atmosphere, not being able to hijack an icecream van and drive it to a remote cliff just to blow it up or some such shite... YARRRGHH!!

PS: "If it bleeds, we can kill it."

Loving it so far I feel incredibly christmasy at the moment. Its New York, its snowing, its the 40s and Frank Sinatra is singing Christmas stuff on the radio

Finished it today, around 10 hours on hard.

I have mixed feelings, it feels as if that they cut a bounch of missions, it makes the plot feel rushed in the first 2/3 of the game and at the very end it seems a lot more continuos and coherent if anything.

Gameplay is good in general. Audio/Video is amazing.

I don't whine about not being able to 100 side missions (you can sell cars though) but i really miss the freeride mode from the first game.

My biggest issue with this game is that when it felt that the game started for good i was about to finish it

I still recommend it to anyone though, don't get me wrong, i'm a Mafia1 fanboy caught up in the M2 hype so i'm not completely satisfied.

I just finished it too. I agree with everything in the above post. There was also some unnecessarily dull/boring missions that took up a lot of the game time just to push the story, especially driving and melee combat. Chapter 14 gave me chills, even though I saw it coming as soon as I heard the music on the radio.

By the way, this game has the worst checkpointing/saving that I've seen in years. Have a 10 minute stretch of gameplay without any saves at all even if it seems to have plenty of situations that would be ideal for saving (Although it often says "Saving" in the upper right corner, which is a blatant lie), and then litter it with a few cheap deaths here and there. It's probably all great on PC since you can probably save where ever, but for a console game I simply find it unacceptable.

Anyway, nearing the end of the game.
