It is a fairly good game, but there is no multiplayer (multiplayer defines the price, as far as I am concerned). Decent enough gameplay, decent enough, if jumpy, story line, and such.
all-in-all, not really for the price

I don't give a shit about multiplayer. If I wanted to play a multiplayer game, I'd play a multiplayer game.

I know Mafia 2 is a GTA-esque game, but Idk how good it is.



And I don't really trust your judgment Deg, since you thought Deus Ex was bad ._.

deus ex with a tired derp.
its not at all like gta all that much either. only real similarity there is some of the gameplay. the setup of the story/game is completely different. if you dont play for multiplayer... Well go watch some gameplay and decide. My personal opinion is no, because of multiplayer and slightly higher than mediocre (in my opinion) game

Sorry bump, but there's so much racist shit in that game. Pisses me off.

But yeah, it was fun.

Hey guys, lets not be historically accurate and pretend that's not how it was actually like during the time period.

YEAH.

But anyways, it was a old thread. Why bump it? :v

Still, they could have toned it down a bit.

Going on a Chinese killing spree is kinda offensive. Especially if you are Chinese.

Look, there's a simple analogy. Watch just about any popular film from the era Mafia II is depicting: All of them are so racially insensitive, it's almost funny. But I've never heard any critic bashing those; in fact there's a lot of praise hailed from many a movie with abundant racism, pilgrim.

 Sure, you can work your way around it and pretend it wasn't prominent back there, but that's sort of cheating yourself.

 I wonder why this game gets so much backlash on ridiculous things like that. Same with the Italian stereotypes. Who did they talk to? I have an Italian heritage and I can tell you that no Italian person gives a smallish care about how mobsters are depicted, as it doesn't adhere with them, nor do they hold any affiliation with them. If anyone is going to be offended by a mobster stereotype, it'll be a mobster.

Things were just that bad for the minorities back then, and the game does a great job of depicting it.
If you were offended, why put yourself in a position to keep playing? You could have easily just stopped playing during one of the earlier missions when you were ordered to steal a car from a "moolie" neighborhood.
