Thanks to classic films such as 'Scarface' and the first two 'The Godfather' moves, people are familiar with how classic mobsters were like -- even if it was through the eyes of Hollywood. More recently, games such as EA's The Godfather and 2K Games' Mafia have given folks a chance to experience what it may have been like to actually live as an old-time gangster (with Mafia being the better of the two franchises). The recently-released Mafia II continues this and offers an experience superior to any that has been made available thus far. A-/A+
