Mafia 2 Review (PlanetXbox360)

From the PlanetXbox360.com feature review:

"Games based around the infamous mobsters of the 1940s are few and far between, in fact there’s really only one or two I can think of, the first being the original game in the Mafia series by 2K. After almost eight years, 2K is finally releasing a sequel to the well received original which easily captures the essence of the eras it weaves through. Mafia II follows the story of Vito Scaletta and his rise through the ranks of the various mob families of Metropolis over almost a decade."

I've only played a couple hours but it's awesome, i know that - well done for a mobster game, nice review!

comp_ali5028d ago

how do you play it before the game release 24/8 NA and 27/8 World wide. Ah , forgot you can pirate anything thosedays.

T9X695028d ago

Ever heard of mom and pop stores? They sell games early all the time, I can go buy Mafia 2 right now if I wanted. I get all my games I buy new early, that doesn't make me a pirate, that makes me lucky to live in NYC lol.

UltimaEnder5028d ago

He's right, you can get games a couple days early all over the country; just depends on who you know....and I don't pirate anything, not about stealing - I always pay for the game I get early...

LaurenKB1235028d ago

Will now grab this one up after work, sounds like the story is epic and I know it has cool destruction elements.....

teh_snuggler5028d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya487d ago

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

SonyStyled487d ago (Edited 487d ago )

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

jasonismoney487d ago

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

SonyStyled487d 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

cthulhucultist487d 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

Fist4achin487d ago

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

SonyStyled487d 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

JEECE487d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi487d ago

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

JEECE487d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
