Yeah, regarding art in games - IMO way too many people think it's just down to the engine rather than the quality of the artists and the art direction (though the Illusion engine *is* sweet!).

Generally the game feels slick and right at home on the PC (+ runs brilliantly).Īs an artist myself I just really appreciate what they've achieved and know I'll spend a lot of time with the full game just cruising round, exploring the city and soaking up the atmosphere.

I think they *nailed* the art + audio, plus car physics (simulation) were fun, gunplay felt good (PC + will be better without auto-aim) and I just love the atmosphere and sense of place. But knowing their previous games (Hidden and Dangerous 2 and Mafia 1) I can't wait for the full release with much longer missions, fully open city etc etc.

Not had any issues with the PC don't find the actual gameplay in the demo *all that* exciting to be honest (there's just not that much to do and it's all over so quickly).

The atmosphere and attention to detail really do it for me.ĮDIT - Apparently there are a few problems with the demo for the PS3 which have been fixed in the full game (AA support, some physics issues. GTA gets away with a lot of it by being very tongue in cheek though, Mafia isn't at all and takes a much more sombre Dude (saying all that I don't personally have a problem with GTA and have enjoyed those games, but I think I do know where you're coming from, especially regarding player characters that you don't identify with and the general glorification of crime. You don't get to see much story in the demo, but you can get a sense of the atmosphere. Of course there are similarities with GTA + you *can* kill innocents (on the street) and car jack etc, but that's just the choices you have open to you with an 'open world' game. I tend to always do the 'good thing' in games (N:TW included!) + I don't remember cringing with the first one at any point, in fact the opposite (Mafia 1 mini-SPOLIER: You let 'good' people live who you're meant to hit + help the police in the end, in fact that's how the story's told). Well, the first game wasn't (like GTA) + I'd be surprised if they made the player character unlikable in the sequel.

You also have some incredibly exciting missions in Mafia 2, and you will feel wrapped up in the plot line that showcases mid-century mob drama. You do have some mundane missions where you have to drive your friend to the doctor, but his life is on the line. The way it sounds and causes your remote to vibrate adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the game.

Mafia 2 really delivers a powerful punch with vibrant sound effects. The action is so good that you almost forget about the negatives of the game.

Also, most of the time you will be more focused on moving from one story mission into the next. Nevertheless, this can feel somewhat redundant because a lot of the guns and ammo that you can buy at the store can be picked up off the enemies that you kill. You can rob stores and sell cars for some extra cash. The game goes deep into detail, and the game developers did a great job at creating a multidimensional game. You can tell you are living in the 1940's and 1950's because you hear a lot of wartime propaganda that fills the radio waves. The story takes place in a place called Empire City, where most of your mob missions will take place. The story itself has masterpiece voice acting from big names like Robert Costanzo and Ray Iannicelli. While Vito understands the consequences of his actions, at this point in the story, he is in too deep, and he is enjoying the many pleasures of mob life. You play as Vito, a Mafia member who wants to climb the ranks of his crime family to become the capo di tutti capi or the godfather. Most gamers will find that the story is the biggest draw of the game. For example, you have a story-heavy game from the 1940's and 1950's. The areas where Mafia 2 excels make it go on a big level. When the game delivers, it delivers big time. On the one hand, you do not have much to do outside of the story line, and the huge open sandbox world can sometimes feel like somewhat of a tease because of that. Mafia 2 has great shooting, great stealth and great fist fights. Playing Mafia 2 on the PC gives you the chance to enjoy the world of organized crime from the safety of your own living room. Not only do your best friends betray you for some extra cash, but also a steep prison sentence is always around the corner. Mafia 2 showcases the fact that mob life can be brutal.
