I bought this and enjoyed the story. Playing the story was like watching a great mob movie unfold before your eyes. BUT, after the story is over your left wondering why you didn't rent the game lol
(or at least i did).

I would give it a 8/10, but it's defiantly a rental imo.

Thanks, good to know.

Wow.. wow. This game is amazing. I've been playing it non stop for the last 3 days. It's irresistible to play through the story since it's told so well, unlike GTA4, which I've had for a year and haven't completed more than 3 missions. This game looks great on the 360, but it's amazing on a modest PC with 1 hd4870. Silky framerates at 1080p, sharp, and the lighting in this game is just fantastic. Little details like seeing how your car's headlights affect other cars and surfaces at night, and seeing your car under a streetlight looks so natural. Not only that, but global lighting is awesome. Walking out of your house in the morning, you know its morning. This is one beautiful game, and very addictive.

Driving up to the observatory and looking out over the city at night is also an experience you won't forget in this game.

Hey spacemanjupiter, I wonder: how does the 360 game hold up compared to the demo? Improved framerate and tearing or the same?

i got this on release day.
its a good game,got a few problems regarding animation,music(radio) is awefully depressing,but it feels like its unfolding like a scarface kinda feel,very good story line.
i on lvl 4/10 and i only been on it an hour though(if that on hard)
a little bit to much driving me for too,but it is good.
i seen it on ps3 too and it defo runs alot better on x360,but it still has tearing,just not as much as demo

There are 14 chapters, not 10. The first chapters are short. But it looks like they grow longer after level 4-5.

thx ramiuk1

I can't answer that since I don't own the 360 version. I have played the demos for the 360 and PC, and I can at least say that the retail PC version runs at least as good or better than the demo.

How can you make that comparison if comparison about GTA4's story if you've only played 3 missions?

Cause he tried to but it didnt draw him in. Mafia 2 did keep him wanting to see more. Thats what I get from his post.

What I meant was, it was irresistible to play through the story in Mafia 2. I felt compelled to progress through the game, and the story helped with that. In GTA4, I didn't feel compelled to progress through the game at all, even if the story is told well. I just wanted to run around stealing cars and beating people up, and I was content with that unfortunately.
I finished Mafia2 this evening. I'm amazed by several aspects of the game, and I'm confident there will be some good DLC in the future to help with the replay value. There weren't quite enough random activities to simply have fun with. For example, I'm really surprised there isn't a strip joint in the game, and some other social events and places to have some fun with. I also didn't like the ending, but the ending was actually left open. They didn't really show how things ended up, even though you were led to believe something specific happened. 2K, let's see some DLC in the future that truly ties up that ending, because anything could have happened really, and we didn't get to see it.
