Destructoid : review of Mafia 2

It's been nearly eight years since 2K Czech, then known as Digital Illusions, released Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven for PC. It was released at a time when Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto III had turned the industry on its head, and similar enough to garner the attention of gamers because of it.

Well over three years in development, Mafia II is hitting store shelves, and much has changed about about this particular genre over the past decade. Does 2K Czech prove itself as a contender once again, or does Mafia II fall short of gamer's expectations?

Joke site, score is irrelevant.

The score on EVERY site is irrelevant. The best opinion is your own.

"Yep

Destructoid and HHG need to be banned."

Or..you could just stop clicking on Destructoid and HHG articles, unless someone is threatening you at gunpoint to click on these articles. If this is the case, alert the mods and PM me if you would like me to call the authorities.

Yep

Destructoid and HHG need to be banned.

Serjikal_Strike5016d ago

TheLeprachaun5016d ago

HHG sucks yes. Destructoid is actually quite a cool site.

2K Games Will Reveal Sequel to One of Its 'Biggest and Most Beloved Franchises' at Summer Game Fest

2K Games is preparing to reveal the sequel to a "beloved franchise" at Summer Game Fest, with fans speculating that it might be Borderlands 4, BioShock 4, Mafia 4, and numerous other popular games.

Relientk7718h ago

I'm assuming it will be Borderlands 4. If it's Bioshock 4, I will be Bioshocked.

shinoff218313h ago

Xcom would be much better to reveal. Been needing some xcom 3

TheColbertinator10h ago

XCOM 3 would be my dream announcement

SpacedDuck3h ago

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya476d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled476d ago (Edited 476d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney476d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled476d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist475d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin476d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled476d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE476d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi476d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE476d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
