What then awaits me, I want to briefly describe in this review.
I share in 5 points:
1. Story
2. Graphics
3. Gameplay
4. Control
5. German synchronization
1. Story
What a story! I have for some time played a so enthralling, lovingly written story like Mafia 2 more. Whether at the characters, the twists or relations, Mafia 2 is becoming an exciting body of work, of which I have so hardly played any. You notice right here that when writing the script was a pro at work. In the '50s flair creates a rousing Mafia Twist because even Hollywood could have written any better. If you like action games on the PC / console plays and 'The Godfather' / 'Scarface' his favorite celluloid is one that is story-wise right place!
2. Graphics
The graphics look on my 22-inch chic. Does not tear me from the stool while, but also makes nothing wrong. I think the graphics fit, as it is quite good in the game world. Nevertheless, upwards is always air.
3. Gameplay
Man directs his protagonists (Vito Scaletta) from the 'third person' perspective (an angle from above, ala 'Max Payne' or 'El Matador'), gets the job done, killing hostile gang members, traveling by car, traveling by car and Oh, did I mention that you can take the car? I think I'm raging with more carts in Mafia 2 around as I was traveling on foot. Here you go often, the same distance ala "Go to Joe / Joe Hole from / meet you with Joe at Joe etc." So always the same way, super, I have in real life, so I need not necessarily in a game.
Nevertheless, Mafia 2 is fun. The missions are varied, shootings do not come too close. Noticeable is that Mafia 2 very often works with cutscenes and in-game videos to the story bring forward. I liked it, is a matter of taste, not everyone wants to be condemned in a game to watch ...
4. Control
Yes, I got it done. I have a PC game with the controller played (except for a few tricky Shootings). I prop. Not as the console type, or someone who likes to play with the controller. But in the game fits somehow. Control transfers catchy and directly. Only slightly heavier passages, such as the exchange of fire above, do not go quite as well out of hand. Nevertheless, anyone who has done something can begin with a controller, which I put him in Mafia 2 ans heart.
5. German Synchro
Here I must take up the cudgels for now. I prefer movies in their orignal language (English) or prefer to play English version of FPS and consorts. First, because they often convey more atmosphere and secondly because they have not been completely censored. Nevertheless, in Mafia 2 you notice immediately the excellent German Synchro. There really are all professional actors, from small crooks to the mighty Don. It's fun to listen to the characters, no matter whether Vito cut with Joe only in the car the old times around the ears or it comes to serious Gespärch with a spade. Both the German translator, as well as the speakers were. With fun and zeal in the matter Respect for I know so far no German localization, which sounds so perfect. Here I may be straying into the German language!
Conclusion: Although the season with about 10 hours is not very long, the end comes abruptly somehow, small blunder in the gameplay are and keeps the replay value within limits, this game is definitely a recommendation.
Mafia 2 convinces as perfectly staged, albeit linear action game that makes a lot of things just right: Mafia 2: Playing a movie for yourself!
