Vito Scaletta has started to make a name for himself on the streets of Empire Bay as someone who can be trusted to get a job done. Together with his buddy Joe, he is working to prove himself to the Mafia, quickly escalating up the family ladder with crimes of larger reward, status and consequence… the life as a wise guy isn’t quite as untouchable as it seems.
Action-Packed Gameplay:
Intense gunplay, white-knuckle car chases and visceral hand-to-hand combat —it will take all that and more to become a “made man”.
Epic Gangster Story:
Inspired by iconic mafia drama, the compelling characters and cinematic presentation will pull players into the allure and impossible escape of life in the Mafia.
Immersive World and Period:
Enter the world of Empire Bay - World War II is raging in Europe and the architecture, cars, music and clothing all echo the period in stunning detail. As time passes, hot rod cars, 50s fashion and some of the era’s best music reflect the birth of a cool new era.
Illusion Engine™:
2K Czech’s proprietary Illusion Engine, allows gamers to explore Empire Bay’s 10 square miles of beautifully rendered outdoor environments and intricately designed interiors.
Soundtrack Reflects the Mood of the Era:
Players will be immersed in the Golden Era of America as Mafia II features tracks from some of the era’s most influential artists.

This is a fantastic game at an amazing price. With Mafia 3 coming out soon now is a great time to jump in to the series.

Base game is really good, graphics stand up from 2011 with in game theme.
Don't dismiss extra DLC's with hot rods and missions etc.. this really is a cracking game!

One of the best games ever made in my opinion. Looking at the Mafia III vids i am doubtful it will top this.

At the time I really didn't think the PC version ran very well but the passage of time will have fixed most of that. Physx and AA neither of which worked very well crushed performance even at low resolutions. The game was very buggy.
I completed it and collected all the magazines (of course:p) and liked it at the time. It was quite short which surprised me and I didn't feel that motivated to go through it again however.
Saying that I will likely pick up Mafia 3 if it is any good. If you haven't played Mafia 2 then you should give it a go at this price, chances are you'll have a machine good enough to run it well now too.
This is one of the best things about PC gaming, previously games you couldn't attain max settings on are a breeze a few years later when you have newer hardware and the game is all the better for it!

Mafia 2 is a good game, but it has nothing on the original Mafia from 2002 except for graphics (which is to be expected). I'm hoping Mafia 3 will more closely resemble the original.

Be warned this game has a horrible game breaking glitch at the start of chapter 2. (When you first steal a car after picking up lock picks the game goes super slow mo. There is no way of getting round this as I tried, I even left it for a while and nothing happened. Requested a refund, shouldn't be selling this with such a horrible glitch. Would be a great deal if you could actually play it!)

Apparently it's an issue with VSync, and you're suppose to switch it off.

I tried that and umpteen other so called 'fixes' one suggestion was changing the resolution. No matter what I tried the slo mo stayed... So frustrating...
