Hello, everybody, today I am going to do a light review on Mafia II for those who loves RPGs / action RPGs / or just plain action games. I am sure quite a few people have heard and played GTA in the state, and there is one game that looks similar to it. It is called Mafia II. GTA, a great game shinning with many personalities, allows players to immense into the city of freedom. Compared to GTA, Mafia II is a game that has less quests but tighter story, limited but memorable characters. When I was playing Mafia II, I didn't want to wander off such as killing people for money like I did in GTA, because the script is such well written that I was glued to the story the whole time. So its like there is a city full of freedom and money I can chase after, but I give them up for the sake of the main story. It is like watching a 60 hours movie, and I didn't want to pause and come back to it the next day.
The story itself flows smoothly from one chapter to the next, it does not waste its time on unrelated things. Another thing that this game has done a wonderful job is its driving mechanism. When you are driving, you feel like you are playing a pretty good racing game ( In may opinion, the racing / driving mechanism are weeker in GTA series games.) Therefore, you feel alive or satisfied when you are drive or racing the cops as it becomes a challenging thing to do.
In conclusion, the story and the driving mechanism is well implemented in this game, and is recommended to all RPG / action RPG / action games friends, because this is a game that will pull you in until the last minutes !
p.s. other games I have played and liked:
-still life
-half life 2 series
-chronicles of riddick
-Vampire: The Masquerade
happy gaming^^
