Steam Mid-Week Deal - Mafia II - £5

One of thee best storylines I have ever experienced in a game. Other than that though, it is essentially a one trick pony, at least as far as I'm concerned anyway.

Oh yeah, I'll give it credit for one more thing and that was the length of the game. Not too short or lengthy.

Can you elaborate on your "one trick pony" conclusion?

The highlight or main strength for me was the story. This was the best part of the game by far. I loved it and like you mentioned in a previous post, I too found it gripping and in my case I actually enjoyed watching it more than playing it.

I didn't feel other aspects were especially poor (some were quite good) but pale in comparison to the story. What it did well it did so extremely well imo. Otherwise a generally decent game. Take away the story development and replace it with something underpar would most likely have left me with a little above average game that would have been so much more forgettable.

No offence but are you stupid?

I hope you betted against Spurs. Even if you support them.

On topic: Mafia 2? Do not want.

Was close but I didn't win anything.

Still bought Mafia 2 anyway.

Now to bet on Spurs to beat Barca at the Nou Camp 6-1...

Yep, well done Steam.

Now, Episode 3 please.

For people saying they tried the demo and aren't buying it based on that...I think you should reconsider.

I did the same and the demo is a very poor representation of the final product, one of the most boring missions in the game.

Gave up with an hour to go and bought it. Played demo again tonight and it seemed to run OK so I should be happy enough on my laptop with it.

Epic deal I have to say... However, in my game there was a massive bug in one of the levels. I think I was on one of the last levels and just as I left a building I fall through the floor everytime

Still haven't been able to complete the game
