mafia 2 any good?

Worth it for £10 or less, the developer's attitude ruined what could have been an epic game tho. It could have been 10 times better with a bit more time spend opening it up between set pieces, fleshing out the wider game world and making more use of the better parts of the game i.e. the WW2 and prison bits could easily have been 5x the amount of content with little extra effort. The developer seemed to have a right grinch like attitude where you only got a set amount of enjoyment for your money and no more - get anything else from the game and you were somehow "stealing" from them.
 
Both are kinda meh from a gameplay standpoint. The first one is just not very well refined, and the second one is just super standard coverbasedshootyshooty.

The first one however is a must play for the story and general atmosphere. It's REALLY, REALLY good. The story and writing is tight and the plot flows perfectly.

The second one in my opinion has the dumbest story ever. Character arcs are all over the place. If you like the idea of driving period cars over a brilliantly recreated 1960s/Whatever year it is city, you'll enjoy it.
 
Got it free with my graphics card, quite liked it.

I keep meaning to go back and play the game on harder difficulties, plus getting the collectables and achievements.
