So been playing this today..

Not a single player fan really. but the story is great!
Im on about chapter 13 i think, there is a good backdrop story which comes into its own as you go along, you start in the 40's then get sent to prison a bit later in the game and come out in the 1950's, the prison chapter is quite funny.. especially when you nearly get raped.. and have to fight :O.

Anyways lol..

Alot of screen tear still, at times the frame rate is so poo you are like wtf!
But it's not all bad.

Love the fact u do missions which involves sneeking into malls n rob places, and also the fighting is pretty good :P

However not alot of replay value - i mean once u complete the story then what?
It's not a gta free roam - this game is pure scripted, so events happen once and you can;t do it again.

Imma review this game on my site when i finish it, but at the mo the game is cool, but i doubt i'll be playing this once completed..

heres 1 of a few vids i am uploading, this is a fight in prison..

Yeah just finished the demo and was pleasantly surprised - I don't normally go for things in this time era, but the cover and shooting work well. And the cut scenes look fantastic.

The only gripe I had was trying to drive the dude who got shot I kept running into big fuck off red barriers until I followed the GPS. Does the full game do this all the time, or just when it wants to funnel you into a scripted event?

I reckon I will wait until this is in the 2nd hand section as it no doubt will be with no replay value. And with no MP this one can wait. I've still got so many games here I haven't played yet - good ones too, like GoW3 and Arkham Asylum, and obviously RUSE arriving on the 10th (I hope)...

I'm on the final chapter at the moment but i don't feel an urge to play it right now..
Here's my review i did so far of the game.. http://symonator.com/web/news/mafia-ii-my-review

After spending quite a bit of time on this game, i only think it's OK and hyped up way to much.
