Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

Joe's is the one I was hoping is good because hes such a big part of the story. I didnt know how much faith I should put into the reviews since most had this game rated lower then what I thought they should.

Also yall wasnt lying about chapter 14 I was ready to start hurting small animals last night when I was playing it.

lol, yeah Ch 14 is no joke! The final chapter is pretty difficult because the save points are far between sometimes, but it's nothing like 14.

The DLC was on sale a bit ago. Wasn't even a gold only thing.

crap I missed it, but I have only had the game for a few weeks. How much was it? I've been reading joe's adventure and it seems to be worth the try and the trailer looked cool

It's up to you in the end, but I suggest not getting them. What I've read of these DLC's sounds terrible. No cutscenes, all text-based and not much like the actual game.

It sucks because this game could have been something special, but it seems they dropped the ball and rushed it out to prevent more delays.

I know the DLC are all suppose to be kinda bad and unlike the game. They are on sale for 5$ now and I have some $ left from a psn giftcard. Anyone enjoy them even a little bit? I really liked the main game just a shame everyone says the DLC isnt any good.

I really don't think the first two DLCs are worth that considering it could go to a better game. I didn't play the Joe DLC even though I wanted to. Maybe it was better. I thought the game was really good, just not the DLC.

I just wanted to throw this out to OS, this game is only $4.99 on XBOX Live until tomorrow. That is a really good deal if you never played this game.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

I really enjoyed this game. Love the era and mafia/gangster stuff. (Boardwalk Empire FTW!) Worth the pick up if you haven't played it as said.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

It didn't live up to it's full potential or the expectations I had, but it was definitely a really good game and worth picking up. The setting was extremely well done.

Hopefully Mafia III is still being developed and doesn't take forever to release. I'd much rather have a new Mafia game than something like Saint's Row.

I honestly think this is one of the more underrated little gems you could buy for PS3/360, as long as you don't go into it looking for a mafia version of Grand Theft Auto, because it ain't that.

Great story, captures the era incredibly well, fun gameplay. Sure it's only faux-open world, but it's damn fun.

Agreed. I actually prefer a games like this over a truly open world game because to me most open world games come up a little short story-wise.

This game is definitely in my Top 10 CG games. I'd put games like Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, The Last of Us and Sleeping Dogs ahead of it. It would fall in my next tier with games like GTA V, RDR, Max Payne 3 and Tomb Raider.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

I actually just finished this game last week.

I loved the characters, the voice acting, the look of the game, the cars, the music of the era and the plot was decent.

But the major problem was that the creators made this great world but then there was nothing to do it in. It's a very short game. It was strange that there weren't side missions other than collectibles.

The main mission was very repetitive in my opinion. Drive here, shoot everybody, rinse and repeat.

It definitely wasn't as fully fleshed out as it could have been. I think it was intended to be a AAA-type game but it ended up only being a AA game. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. It's just too bad the developers weren't able to put together the exact game they wanted because I remember reading that a lot of things were cut out of the game.

Re: Mafia II (PS3/360)

I think it suffers from the same "problem" gamers flag L.A. Noire with and that's the large, open world setting and backdrop isn't "fleshed" out by having any open-world/sandbox side missions and elements in them.
