Despite what many press reviews have said, this is definitely a fun game. (mostly) Solid gameplay mechanics, a decent (if short) story and an excellent vintage soundtrack of over 100 golden oldies make this game well worth renting instead of purchasing.
I love it
I recieved Mafia II not expecting much, after not giving much praise for GTA IV i was slightly worried this game was going to be a failure.

severely underrated game. Be aware that this is a linear game with sandbox features. As opposed to games like GTA 4, I found myself completely immersed in the storyline and actually caring about the characters.
Never played the first, great gameplay, story and very fun. Not really one you can play more than once as the storyline is main thing
Great game only played 20% but loving the story and cant wait for the out come

Great Game, think GTA with a far better story. It even pulled me away from playing Black Ops multiplayer for a while,
Would definately recomend this game.
Beautiful game, decentish Gotdfather rip off storyline, fanastic time stamps of music and culture through the 40s and 50s. Game involves mostly cut scenes, with some shooting and mostly needless driving back and forth, again and again. Nice weapons and pretty cars, but they …

Fun game but not much to do other than the missions.
Awesome game. Love the attention to detail, especially the old school themed music and clothing. The police pulling you over to give you speeding tickets is immense as well. The only negative is it didn't take long to complete the game. Looking forward to Mafia 3
a great story backed up by very good gameplay,very enjoyable
