After playing through it twice, the overall game play is great. However, due to the lack of activities you can do outside of the story line, you would be better off playing a Grand theft Auto series. Furthermore, the lack of police AI even on hard mode prevents the entertain half of fighting off the police. The storyline is also awfully short and the limitations placed upon this game, such as not being able to park certain cars in your garage really undermines the overall capabilities of this game. Nevertheless, for what its worth 3.5 out of 5 stars, now if they took off the limitations of game play and expanded the maps then maybe it will be closer to a 4.
First of all, I played the Demo to this game and immediately, I became addicted to playing this game. Many times I felt myself just listening to the opening Theme music alone. I was reminded of the fun I use to have playing GTA III,(except this has far better Graphics/cut scenes). The Voices of the Characters within the game are really amazing. However what would have made this game truly great if only the AI of the people you encounter in the street were smarter. Many times people would just randomly walk right in front of my Car, just as I was about to enter the street. Realistically, who does that? Also Cops would give chase to me for speeding, however they never pull you over for running through a red light? I would have liked to see a Cop or two remember my Character upon giving chase, either giving me a break, or going after my Character with more vigor. Officer is injured, why not have a EMS Vehicle arrive? Officer is down, why not broadcast, Officer down, back up is needed. Why not have more Store Heist? If a Character receives a 2 or 3 star wanted rating, why not bring in a Negotiator? Gun Merchants should have different Gun Prices based on their locations. It would be also nice if they actually remembered your Character. Why not have during late Hours,while your on foot), a few Mobsters in training attempt to Harass your Character? Give me the option to either talk them out of it, or etc. I also wish that the game allowed you to save, any where you choose.Read full review

ok, so the game itself is awesome but somehow, they have a ton of bugs that goes on in the game. reading some forums and news, Mafia II had no real beta testers. so when it came out, they added alot of patches to fix the game. i guess its cheaper to get a call from an angry gamer than paying a tester to find these bugs. so i went through the game did a bunch of stuff but i guess the only bug left is the one for Chapter 14 which prevents you to finish the Chapter. One way to fix the bug is not to steal from shops, during this chapter the other way is just to be lucky.
This game is more for adults than kids. It does have some course language, but is a fun game otherwise. Not recommended for the young.

Mafia II is a cool story with great graphics and smooth game play. The game will remind you strongly of any of the Grand Theft Auto series and does not offer much new in terms of what you had in the GTA series. Buy clothes, steal cars, shoot guns, run from the cops. The storyline and cinemas are better than GTA and keep you wanting to play more with missions that vary rather than straight shoot em up. Also is good because there are twists that take you to places you do not expect.
