It's no GTA, but Mafia II tells a sprawling and stirring tale spanning multiple years and many shady characters that few other games can boast of. Until recently the older version of this game was broken (the skyline kept glitching) so I'm VERY happy that the remaster is not only stable and pretty but restores one of my favorite games to working status! I'm one of the few who not only played this game before the first Mafia but also like the sequel much better than the original, and I'm counting the Mafia 1 remaster as well. Mafia 2 might be a shorter experience (still lengthy) but it feels tighter. You can aim better, drive better, run and walk on command instead of slowing to a crawl during cutscenes. It's a nightmare to spin out constantly in the first game but it's a joy to coast and dodge and weave with the cars in the second game I think. Also Vito is just a much more interesting character than many Mafia protagonists. He's got baggage but he's just shy of skirting the straight and narrow rather than feeling like a goon in waiting. I like the characters, the music, the map, the gameplay in this game better than either one or three, but regardless of my preferences if you don't mind a game with some difficult but varied levels, some really excellent visual storytelling (look at all the context clues to the people you meet just by their mannerisms, what they wear, the way they live...etc) and exciting action that doesn't feel quite as restrictive as either stop and pop or spray and pray. You can take cover, but you can run and gun, and you can do both at the push of a button. If you don't mind some old school mob cliches, this is an excellent crime yarn.
