About

Mafia II is the second game in the franchise about Italian mafia operating in America after World War II. Vito Scalleta returns from the war in Italy being wounded. As he returns and reunites with his friend Joe, he and Henry Tomassino convince Vito to be apart of an Italian mafia in fictional city Empire Bay. Starting to work for Alberto Clemente, Vito must go through every aspect of being a part of the family and become a big thing in it.

Even though the game has an open world mechanic, you won't probably explore it. Travelling to missions give an opportunity to listen to music of this time in America - Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Dean Martin and others, providing the game with a great atmosphere of the USA in its 50s. The gameplay has a variety of missions to offer, in which you can confront your enemies in melee combat, shoot them with different guns like M1911 or Thompson, or stealthily engaging your opponents. The game is pretty strict to the player reaching highest of empathy with Vito and every situation he's in.

    Mafia II reviews and comments

    One of the best games I ever played. Blew my mind. The story. The characters. The environment. The gameplay mechanics. Everything was so perfect.
    Amazing
    «Underrated»
    I do not recommend this game. There is no Linux/BSD port.
    «Disappointment of the year»
    «Waste of time»

    THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH 2K!
    «Blew my mind»
    Weak plot compared to the first part: Although «Mafia II» offers an interesting story about the rise of the main character Vito Scaletta in the criminal world, the plot falls short in depth and intrigue compared to the first part. At times, the story seems superficial and less impressive.

    A lot of driving and lack of taxis: There is an abundance of driving around the city. Unlike some other open-world games where you can use taxis or other fast travel options, there is no such option in «Mafia II». This makes traveling between missions more drawn-out and sometimes tedious.

    Long-winded storytelling: The storytelling in the game is stretched out. Despite the captivating atmosphere and well-crafted world, the long intervals between significant events can be tiresome. Sometimes it feels like the game is artificially prolonged to extend the playtime.

    No attachment to the characters: One of the main strengths of the first part was the charismatic and well-developed characters that players quickly became attached to. In «Mafia II», despite decent acting and quality dialogues, the characters do not evoke the same emotional attachment.

    In conclusion, despite these issues, it still remains an important part of the series and interesting for fans of the crime drama genre.
