There was the recent years very little title that could captivate me with her story. But Mafia 2 creates with an ease. The story is told really excellent and you can cheer each ascent of the protagonist really. The environment is fantastic and managed the graphics to the highest standard.

+ Very varied missions
+ Perfect balance between action and rest in the game
+ Great weapons from pistols to machine guns
+ Sequences very detailed and excellent animations

- Despite the open game world, nonlinear gameplay
- Despite great graphics, light texture weaknesses and sometimes the graphics somewhat lagging behind
- Many sequences in which the interaction is lacking with the player, you will often only spectators
- You can buy besides clothes, cafes, visit, car tuning hardly do anything in the game world
- Bad ending -> DLC!
You've probably already read that the end is not exactly the rage. But if you ask me, you can loose ignore it. Because Mafia 2 brings many hours of play pure fun and great atmosphere. I enjoyed the game from the one minute long made fun and that's what it is what counts. The typical Mafia Story surely knows everyone, but Mafia 2 has still managed to captivate me to the TV. And I wanted to always know what happens next. Are many interesting twists in the game, which maintains keep the tension.
Conclusion: After a long think critical, I find that Mafia 2 is a great title. For the price of a little over 20 you can actually make nothing absolutely wrong. Alone because of the ambient design it is worth all the times!
