Started playing the game. The graphics are good. There is more Driving the cars than I would like. BUT the main problem is the game is hung up about 1/2 way thru. I can't get any help from Origin or Steam on how to fix it. I tried several times and uninstalled and reloaded with no success.

Mafia II is an excellent return of a franchise with great promise. Vito and his associates are memorable characters in a city bursting with subtle visual details and violent undertones. The story pulls no punches, neither glorifying nor demeaning the difficult lives its protagonists lead--just presenting them with brutal honesty and letting you reach your own conclusions. After the 15-or-so hours it might take you to gun through Vito's story, it's hard not to come away with the sense that there should have been more to do in this beautiful city. Yet while you might be disappointed with what Mafia II doesn't do, it's hard to be disappointed by what this excellent game does do: deliver fun shoot-outs and pockets of shocking brutality in a world you're delighted to be a part of. The Good Fantastic action set pieces Shooting and hand-to-hand combat are both highly satisfying Empire City is beautiful and stuffed with period detail Brutal, involving story populated with interesting, well-acted characters. The Bad Not enough to do in the open world Too much time spent on mundane tasks. 8.5 (out of 10) OVERALL: GREATRead full review
I've been waiting for a good sale on this game on steam! $15 is a killer price. To the hater: Steam isn't a "one time download" but yes the game will be tied to your account only forever. If you have 5 PCs you can install the game on all 5 but only play on the system that you're logged in on. If you run out of space delete the game and download it again later without having to enter the code again.
i give mafia 2 6 out of 10 stars. i will put it this way. mafia 2 does not come even close to being worth the full retail price of 50+ dollars. when you consider all the stupid little add ons, that you have to pay for. we the consumer are being robbed. if anyone is looking to buy this game, i highly recomend looking on ebay. i paid 24 dollars for mine on pc. i hope you can find one just as cheap on what ever console you own. i feel sorrow for anyone that pays 50 to 70 dollars for such an average, and way over rated game.
Basically, the story is very good. Graphics are good. Aiming system and control is good. Cars are great! The AI for cops is below average. Lack of Multiplayer is disappointing. Overall, it was worth the $11 bucks I spent on it. It was generally fun to play.
