now that's good. because you will see, the way to explain story, to achieve quests and even the story chapters has just been copied from GTA4. It can be nice of course, don't mind it, but even if you like both games, to call Maffia 2 a lame copy of GTA4 is so obvious. |
And wrong.
I don't suppose you played the original Mafia?

Really shit? I thought the Demo was quite entertaining and I loved the first mafia. As far as I've read, it's just a little bit more action oriented than the first one, but still the same linear story telling (which was well done in Mafia 1).

The story is definitely not well done in this one. And the action is bland, boring and repetitive. Mafia 1 did a good job mixing stuff up. Mafia 2 is just bad.

ok any video review where they take closer look at the problems?
Can't imagine the game to be THAT bad, the vids of the missions looked always really nice!

It's very repetitive and the gameplay design is all over the place (a lot of things must have been cut) but it's worth a playthrough to experience the story which again is all over the place but compared to most video games it's not bad.. A bit frustrating game because it doesn't play as it should, but worth playing to the end IMO..

+1 Agreed, even with its flaws it's definitely worth a playthrough, but it's very pale if compared to Mafia 1 (which was and still is a true masterpiece of gaming).  |

I think that some of you should reinstall Mafia 1 and play it for a few hours. While the game as a whole is a masterpiece and a milestone in gaming history it still had serious flaws. The flaws were overshadowed by the positive aspects (story, graphics, car physics, atmosphere) but they were still a pain in the ass.
Mafia 2 had a derpy cover shooting mechanic. But what about the shooting in Mafia 1? Enemies were able to trace you through walls and as soon as you popped around a corner they pumped you full with lead with pinpoint accuracy.
Mafia 2 had some dull driving, but Mafia 1 had it too. It was just more accepted ten years ago. Today (after CoD:MW) gamers expect explosions, scripts or dialogs behind every corner. If you replay Mafia 1 you will see a lot of "boring" driving in slow cars.
To me it's not boring at all, it's part of the atmosphere.

@me7: You've made very good points; there's a thing that must be considered though, Mafia 1 was released in 2002, none of the action games of that time were able to provide such a mind-blowing experience both in terms of freedom and plot's quality (there was GTA III, but the story/characters were absolutely flat and uninspired if compared to Mafia). The game had obvious flaws (and the performance was quite horrible too) but it was "accettable" since the game was definitely ambitious. Mafia 2 came 8 years later with practically the same formula, with a worse story, a worse level design/missions and boring shooting sessions thanks to the cover system; that's why many people didn't like the game

Shooting is much better in Mafia 1. At least it's somewhat challenging - no ridiculous cover mechanics, no regenerating health and no unlimited ammo. I remember doing the Hotel mission and was left with 17 health when the roof part started. That shit was intense. With Mafia 2 I could have ramboed my way through with blind fire.
