More GTA, more action, more commercialism LESS MAFIA

I could be a page long summary about writing how and why I am so disappointed in Mafia II am. This would then but most people do not read anyway so only the hard facts that really no one can deny. In order to understand my view of things you have to Mafia 1 know, this game lived from the story - the whole game was a well-thought and attention to detail matched with love on the screen film. One could not ignore the similarities with the masterpiece "The Godfather". But Mafia II, the game is adorned with this name wrongly. The game is not bad but where Mafia is on it must also be in it, therefore the Mafia poor rating of only two stars and the critical review. Mafia II has a little but not a thing where you can say of everything that has become super. 1. The story tries to a mafia story, but lacks flair, attention to detail, interesting dialogues, credible elements and so on. Came out is a good gangster story a GTA with a bit of Mafia drumherrum. 2. The realism and credibility were written really big in Mafia 1. To what shooter you already got a ticket for speeding or if you have time not seen a red light? Which game you had to learn only how to break a particular car, which was then perhaps standing on a steep hill sometimes because the fuel was all or because the engine just did not have enough horsepower? In Mafia 1 you had already at an opponent to worry that he brings to a route or a so many health points subtracting the latest the second opponent a ausknipst the light ... in Mafia II you get still speeding ticket for driving too fast but the cops you manage to escape after the second curve, red lights interest there also no more. With shootouts you felt like Rambo, you shoot about 30 enemies - the colleagues call a to "man that is fun" "What's hot" "Still a hit" and at the end you have two small scratches and can the next 100 people to shoot. Ammunition has to abound and also at the very beginning with the best weapons. (And on the highest difficulty) 3. With the characters of Mafia II can neither identify nor life into them.

In short there is no Mafia II Mafia everything I did not bother. Who wants to have a better GTA V can not strike to consider who wants to have a Mafia II will be disappointed. I do not want to push the developers blame in the shoes, I think the money lust or the lack of money the publisher Take2 has forced to develop a product that really like the developers of the broad masses of gamers. That means less claim, more Ballern, it must indeed the 16 Jähre RTL-gazers like the game .. I doubt that the consoles / computer games able to establish itself in this development ever as an art form ... The more expensive expectant development of games -through the increasingly complex graphics forcing developers more and more to develop commerce and mass market. Too Bad.
