Gamersmint Review : Mafia 2 is the successor to the brilliant Mafia which was released in 2002 on the PC. It has finally released, amidst a controversy regarding racial issues surrounding it. 2k Czech, the developers, have shown a lot of promise with Mafia 2 which was apparently in development for 6 years but does the game manage to live up to the standards set by its glorious predecessor which carved an identity for itself, separating it from the swashbuckling GTA series?
With E3 starting next week, 2K Games revealed the biggest E3 line up they have for the year
Only game iam waiting for is for mafia 2 nothing else intrest me well only Metal gear solid peace walkers but ill get that soon
nice. waiting to see what mafia 2 and spec ops the line has too offer. not into rts games, so civ 5 not for me, and not too familiar with x-com series.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3
I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.
@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think
Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Originally released back in 2010 for last-gen (PS3, Xbox 360) consoles, 2K Games has re-released Mafia 2 as part of the Mafia Trilogy, and has called it the “Definitive Edition.” Now, the question is, does this mafia go for the kill, or does it run out of bullets? Read on for our Mafia 2 Definitive Edition review.
hows the PS3 version guys, worth buying?
mafia 2 is too unrealistic and isn't tactical like mw2. Mw2 cover system is better by far. Mafia could use perks
I personnally found that Mafia II was the most boring game I've played in a long time. People always complain about GTA IV, but the missions in Mafia II are wayyyy more boring, even the DLC. I mean, seriously, most of the things you have to do is just incredibly boring. Like: why do I have to drive all accross town to go to bed when anyway, it's a missions-driven game and not a sandbox...
Also I finished the game on hard in 10 hours, and if the game didn't have so horrible checkpoints, I would have beat it in 6 lol
Just my thought, I think a rental is more appropriate.
Don't have the game and don't plan on getting it, but paid DLC less than a month after the initial release? Come on.
After not picking up NHL 11 today because it was $70, I am starting to hate the games industry.
I've heard some mixed reviews about the Mafia games... I might have to go and rent them from the local video store and make an assessment of the game.
Some are saying its really crap and pathetic, where as some others are telling me its a not bad game.
