Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

Finished up on hard 11:52

Those last few shootouts were brutal.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

Parts of the game I had to restart the most (played on Hard)

Spoiler

After you pick up the cocaine and you get attacked at the Chinese place. The gunfight was easy, but the short chase after that was ridiculous. I died 7 or 8 times before I got lucky and the police car blocked in the two cars that were pursuing me.

Shootout at the docks. It took me about 5 times to just say **** and run to the back of the warehouse and then systematically kill the rest.

That's about it actually. There were some more I had to restart two or three times, but nothing major.

Playing GTA IV without a speed limiter is ****ing difficult.

Damn you, Mafia II and you ingenious invention! Seriously, every sandbox driving game should have that feature from now on. I'm sick of going 100 and slamming on the brakes half a block before I have to turn.

Even better, Saints Row II had a cruise control. So you could set the speed at whatever you wanted.

HAHAHA That's great brett.

I was fortunate enough not to encounter any freezing or glitches during my playthrough. I did see on the gamefaqs forum that there were a few people who did encounter this problem.

I just played that chapter last night, no problems for me. But I'm playing on the PS3.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

I didn't have a freeze the whole game. Thank God. I was on PS3. I don't know if there were issues on that system or not.

I've had two freezes through Chapter 14 on the PS3.

The first one was during the cutscene in

Spoiler

the prison when the warden was making his speech

and the other was while driving after

Spoiler

fighting the Chinese and having to run and get in away in your car when the cops were waiting for you outside.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

I have watched the complete walkthrough for this game - all the way to the final credits. This was just AWESOME!

One thing I've nothiced, that unlike Mafia 1, here it's much easier to escape from the police. In Mafia 1, the police would stick to you until you kill them, chasing you all over town. In Mafia 2, you can speed up and lose them pretty easily. Also, unlike Mafia 1, here they police doesn't care if you go through red lights.

yeah I'm kinda glad I don't have to follow the traffic rules other than speeding, I'd get annoyed with that. There is one level though that the cops are on full alert for all traffic violations because you have extra cargo in your trunk

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

I just beat the game. Not a bad game, but not a great game. It was fun though.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

I'm up to chapter 10. This game seems to be criminally underrated. Imma have to figure out how to start my own review site or something. Ridiculous.

Funny you say that. I've been thinking about doing the same thing. I just very rarely read a review that I agree with anymore. Plus, I think not having to have a review up prior to release would help. I can take my time and evaluate every aspect of the game and then give my review, just for the sake of doing it.

It's a fun idea to kick around.

While on the note of police:

Did anyone else notice the reference to car 54?
