chewbacon Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I rented this game (as I wasnt sure it wouldnt suck giant donkey balls) & I must say it is a FANTASTIC game!! I have had more fun with this game than I have had with any of the more recent games in a LONG TIME! The game has a good trophy list with no CRAZY HARD trophys that u just want to give up the game because of. Its got a fun collectable set & fair amount of challanging trophies that I find to be fun. I find this game to be very enjoyable:applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moving On Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Join the club! It was a very pleasant platinum, wasn't it? And I like how well the city was fleshed-out. I still just load up previous chapters almost daily just to take my sports cars for a short spin and enjoy the scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fractal Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Weird as this may sound, I found it short and had a lack of things to do. There was no freedom to do other things or really establish yourself as a true mobster. Story was great and the gameplay was nothing short of fantastic, but it lacked that real excitement. Since my platinum it hasn't been touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarGate55555 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 i loved the game as well the only thing i hated was the searching of wanted posters but other than that awesome, (also loved godfather 2) in my opinion godfather 2 has a better gameplay but mafia 2 has better graphics better design and story mode.

Trazer Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I'm at chapter 8 right now, so haven't completed the game yet. But i think it's great. Very enjoyable. Till now playing on hard isn't very hard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliminator1 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I have to admit i bought the collector's edition of this game as an impulse buy without trying the demo first. But i think the game is fantastic, it's like playing GTA all over again and i'm really enjoying it. I've finished the story on hard so i'm just getting the wanted posters and a few other trophies but i'm still having fun playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy707r Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Great game, but a bit short, at least the free DLC added a little more play time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darklingpersona Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Yup, the game is great. I loved the story and gameplay, along with the incredible environment they gave us. I do wish there would have been more to do during the main story, but I was satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 A lot of people will inevitably use the excuse that Mafia 2 has a tiny game world, but you really cant discount the general quality and depth. You get a terrific feel for the time period of the game, a real immersion into the 40's and 50's, with the cars, clothes and language all a throw back to your grandpap's hayday. The characters are interesting superbly portrayed, the game world is beautifully detailed and the game runs so smoothly. The storyline is well paced although there is a noticable lack of side-missions. With DLC out now and some new stuff announced, i must say im hugely glad i got this game.  Overall, it feels stylish and crisp. How a game should feel.

soz_666 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 i rented this game aswell and it won't that bad of a game, the story end was a big rubbish but other than that it was pretty fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan187 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 To me this game sucks! The chapters are to short one mission then off to bed, maybe 2 missions if you've been a good boy lol And the cut scenes are good to watch but if you like gangster videos just watch The Godfather! And dont even get me started on the wanted posters...! This game was a let down for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacon Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 just getting into it now.. graphics are awesome! its just like watching a mini movie The wanted posters were probably the worst part of that game.... my advice, do a few then focus on another trophy. Just do the wanted posters in sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonp92 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 At first I thought it was great too, but then I realised there was nothing to do besides the main-missions. That sucks, especially when the game states that you can come back to Bruski and get missions. I really liked the story and the enviroment, but I feel like the devs should have made this into a linear mission structure like Uncharted. It would have saved them allot of time and the final product would have been more or less the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martindug Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I think the people who criticise this game are expecting a GTA experience when they play it, but thats not at all what it is or what it was ever marketed to be. It's a linear game - and lets face it there are more of them out there than anything else! I think it's a very good game which revived an old franchise and has a very cinematic feel to it. I loved the original too - just not the lengthy install on Windows 98!  Question for any players of the original - have you noticed any of the subtle nods to the original in Mafia II? Like the "classic" radio station playing the driving music from M1 and the M1 cars at the scrapyard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPS3Infinity Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 i have actuallly Reiviewed this game so you can checkout my opinion in this text Quote: Mafia 2 Review: in Mafia 2 you play as Vito Scalleta born in sicily in 1925 he was grown up to a poor family a few years after Vito and his family move to Empire Bay and after learning about his father being in massive dept he joins the Mafia to make money but soon the consequences of his actions start to show and he gets caught up in a few complicated affairs i wont say any thever since the game is heavily story orientated and has a fantastic story to concidence with the Gameplay Melee Attacks Blocking and Countering are all Easy to perform you can run up behind an unsuspecting enemy and simply strangle him to the ground or kick him off a building the Fighting Mechanics work Really well as the enemies React in the same way that you do and take advantage of your previous moves  shooting is also easy to perform pull a headshot on an enemy running up infront of you and chain kills together the outcome is really satisfying and whatever you do always check the roof for hidden enemies you can easily move from cover to cover and kill enemies from there my only complaint about this is that you can't blindfire even though your enemies can  the missions are really varied and will range from you Secretly infiltrating a Mesuem to obtain illegal Ration Stamps pretending to be window cleaners or simply being put in jail and learning how to fight  the story is really good with lots of twists and a thrilling story to go through how ever not everything is topsy-tervy there's no side missions or other quests to complete meaning the only missions you'll get is the story missions you can make phone calls from phone booths eat at diners to replenish health or buy guns and clothing from various stores or sell high-end cars to Derek or crush Cars for money at Bruski's Scrapyard however health can Replenish in a matter of seconds even on the hardest difficulty clothing is only neccesary if you want to lose you wanted rating and you most likely won't need guns because the game supplies you with plenty of ammo so keeping that in mind you won't need alot of money  you can Gain Wanted Stars by doing crimes like lockpicking cars or breaking into them when police are around crashing or speeding (yes there is a speed limit in this game) these wanted levels can be Vanished by either Shaking the cops or bribing them through money when your car is running out of petrol the game prompts you to buy petrol at Gas Stations there is hardly anything else to do in the game then focus on the story missions because of these problems which is a shame for a huge open area space they could of done more with the game  i've also encountered a few bugs and glitches were i was fighting someone and my punches went through his body but didn't hit him the police system feels very un-balanced since sometimes i could be speeding at 80MPH but still not be caught or have the cops chasing me other times i was sticking to the speed light and the opposite happened the collectibles consist of 50 Playboy Magazines and 157 Wanted posters both are really boring to collect and the game gives you no incentive to do so either other the trophies tied to them lastly there is no free roam so you'll have to do everything you wanted to do in 1 playthrough or select to continue the game from a previous chapter which Erases current Gamesaves on Mafia 2 but doesnt effect Collectibles Found   heres the link to my review: http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/user-generated-content/63805-my-reviews-3.html#post1517610 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacon Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 i just love this game i hope a add-on is coming out which uncovers whats happening after the end Nuts to that.... lets have a Mafia III! The story could explain how Vito dealt with his friends death & maybe he could be a little older.... I like the 70's for the time frame. Mostly for the cars you would drive....
