Mafia 2 Biggest let down of the year?

Problem was, there were so many ingame systems that were of no use and you cannot really miss them.

Opening/Closing Windows - why?
House phones/call boxes - why? Aside from one mission where you need to use it.
Taxi's and Trains - They are in, but someone forgot the code to let Vito use it?
Faucets/Toilets - Woo I can use/flush them, to what end?
Food/Drinks - Of little importance since they all refresh health to the max.
Gun Stores - Rubbish, and Harry's is so far away that you cba to even drive there.
Car Showroom - Reserved for incoming DLC?!

The list just goes on and on and I am very forgiving and patient about games too. I admit that I enjoyed playing through Mafia 2's story but seeing flaws at every corner just doesn't help. At least I got Mafia 1 bundled free with my steam purchase :)

Pretty much agree with all that. Most of the uses were 1 time during the missions. opening window - escape when they burn your house down, faucet - clean off the blood from a mission. Just seemed to have been put on to make people think, ooo look i can use the shower.... ish.

Some do/should have more use when you are in free ride mode (with the edit or jimmy dlc). phone boxes can also be used to pay off the police when they just want to shoot you in the face and the gun stores are great for robbing as they seem to give the most cash.
 
I thought its was quite good to get a new game that lets you free-roam, only downside is it was pretty much all core missions rather than say GTA where you have some additional stuff to do.

It was a game I completed in 3 days, and I never complete single play games to the end - last one I think was Hitman... Shame it wasn't longer but Overall I quite enjoyed it.

It's just a shame there's never any need to spend any of it. You can put fuel in your car for no reason, you can buy guns although they get taken off you and replaced with whatever you're meant to have for that particular mission and then there's the outfits, a grand total of 5 at the most, just with different colour variations to make you think there's more than there actually is.
