Mafia II: Definitive Edition

play mafia defenitive i thought the secound would be great as well. not by a long shot. the first remaster is a work of art but this is terrible. blocky arms with lines in the middle. glasses are made of a blunch of squares rather than rounded. the coat seams to be glued to my legs. opening and closing doors looks really odd.

this is a good game good story and i did not notice much change from mafia 2 directors cut apart from the polished graphics but sadly its not a 5 out of 5 for me

Mafia II: Definitive Edition was just as good as the first one. This time around, you freelance between mobster lieutenants and have very little contact with the actual Dons. Your greed eventually gets the better of you and a drug deal goes bad. One of the persons you trusted turns out to be a federal agent who gets whacked by the Chinese mob. Even though the friend turns out to be a rat, you blindly kill a Chinese lieutenant responsible for the murder of the federal agent. Your killing spree sparks paranoia and an all out gang war. For some reason, even though the same studio worked on the definitive edition, the graphics quality is a bit poorer. This time, the game features PhysX and it is well utilized in the destructible elements of the game. Game opens up, a la GTA, and you are given more busy work to do (not essential to the game). Expect more fisticuffs, especially at the beginning of the game. To avoid losing, I figured out a way to cheese my way through brawls by holding the space bar to make sure the opponent missed every swing. Swings came in one to two bursts to which I responded in kind until the aggressor was knocked out. Note, Police are also more aggressive while patrolling the city streets. Game takes place in the 40's and early 50's. Game generally saves automatically before and after cut scenes. Additionally, automatic saves start at the beginning of a mission. Checkpoint saves are not as generous this time around during missions. Again, a very addictive game, albeit short. It also took me less than 15 hours to finish. P.S. The devs gave an ode to Mafia by linking up the two games with a mission in Mafia II.

Yet another version of a game that works on steam that GoG has somehow found a way to break. Will not even install. Buyer Beware.
