The game is awesome. Game has good tragic story of Vito life's who follow his friend in crime which ultimately backlash his own life which turns him a pauper who loss his all money,people,family,etc .Very heart touching game I must say it does not define the life of gangster but shows how hard it is.Game is pretty good with many activities and added more weapons and details to this game . The weapon aim feels like I am playing a console game and the damage rate is very bad of weapons in this game . Grenade and molotovs required brain to throw but once you throw the damage of those explosives is very low xd . Roads are pretty small tbh and the map is quite big compared to original mafia 1 . Can't believe this game is from 2010 with insane details and good graphics. Haven't played mafia 2 definitive edition yet but original one feels more awesome and touched my heart . Worth trying game 9/10 . Purchase this game on sale which will save you alot of money :)

It's an amazing game, love the gameplay and story. Great soundtrack and doesn't need a gaming computer to run. I'd reccomend buying it on sale because it has 80% off sales about every month or so.

Mafia II is my favorite game—not just in the series, but in the entire gaming industry. The first time I played it was on PlayStation 3 over a decade ago, and from that day on, I fell in love with it. It’s a unique game, with a cinematic story, great characters, incredible immersion, mechanics that were ahead of their time, and so much more that makes Mafia II a cult classic. Yet, to my deepest disappointment, the game is broken. I played the original version on PS3, the "remastered" version released for PS4, and that same version on PC. But when I tried to relive the nostalgia with the "Classic" edition of Mafia II, I was horrified. While it includes all the original content, in terms of performance, it feels like they made it worse—much worse. To start, it took me forever just to get it to launch. Then, when I began my playthrough, the game simply crashed. I had to restart it. After another attempt, I made it to Chapter 2, only for it to crash again during a calm cutscene. One final try led to a glitch where everything moved in slow motion, forcing me to reset my progress yet again. So, I had to give up. Mafia II is my favorite game. Even though it’s now in the hands of those who care little for the integrity of the series—let alone the original studio’s legacy—it’s a game I’ve played countless times, 100% completed multiple times, and one that left a lasting mark on me. It’s the game I always recommend to friends, the one I remember most fondly, the game whose protagonist inspired my nickname: Scaletta. But seeing it in such a neglected state today breaks my heart. It saddens me deeply—not just because reliving the original experience means dusting off my PS3, but because new players trying this "Classic" version might encounter a butchered game, mistreated by a studio that couldn’t care less about the origins of the series they’re now tarnishing. I’ll just add this: If it weren’t for the fact that so many of us—myself included—can’t even play it properly, I’d wholeheartedly recommend exploring this masterpiece.

The story is unfinished and bad. It starts off well in the first half, but the second half killed any excitement I could have had for the game. The game's story just ends abruptly and goes absolutely unresolved. Also, there are almost no likeable or memorable characters. The driving model in this game is utter garbage, you can either choose the simple setting that makes a 45° (boringly easy and prevents you from having your own driving style) or a "realistic" mode that is was too hard and annoying to use for an arcade-ish game like this. At least the cover-based shooting is good, up to par with L.A. Noire. Also don't bother with DLCs, they bring absolutely nothing to the table outside of their first mission outside of pointless arcade style mini-missions with no real story. As a massive fan of Mafia 1 I was very disappointed by the end of this playthrough. It is strange to me that so many people like this game because for me this does not hold up even to similar games of its time. It is not aggresively bad, but its potential seems much higher than what was achieved. Probalby because the publisher forced the developer to publish the game too early.

[u][h1]Mafia 2 [/h1] [/u] I have way too much nostalgia and love for this game to be anywhere near objective. I played the demo on PS3 like almost 15 years ago, I believe. Then made my first full playthrough on a crappy old-ass laptop in 2014 [i](40 fps maximum, baby)[/i]. And now, replaying & 100%-ing it in 2025 feels kinda special to me. [u][i][b]What is Mafia 2 like, for somebody who hasn’t played it yet? [/b] [/i] [/u] I don’t know — I can only tell you 'bout my experience. I’ve encountered a few glitches that were fixable pretty quickly, but it was annoying nonetheless. The game has an incredible charm. I believe it aged quite well. The story is good, and a handful of characters are iconic and/or lovable. The graphics are also kinda unbelievably good for a game that released in 2010 (and remember, I’m talking 'bout the classic version — not the BS they sell us as the “Definitive Edition”). [i]And btw, can we talk about how genius it is to put goddamn Playboy magazines as collectibles in a game? [/i] [b]All in all, Mafia 2 is definitely a game I would still recommend playing, even 15 years after release.[/b] I still have hope that someday 2K will give it the real “Definitive” treatment (like they did with Mafia 1) — the one it actually deserves. In that futuristic scenario, I’ll be happily playing [u]"Mafia 2: The real Definitive Edition" [/u] in 2035. [u][h1]Joe’s Adventures [/h1] [/u] This DLC is a bit of a mixed bag. You get to play as Joe Barbaro, which sounds great, especially after finishing the main game — but the actual structure is more like a disconnected mission pack than a true story continuation. Despite there beeing a couple of cutscenes, the story remains shallow. It feels like they wanted to tell something bigger, but ran out of time or budget. Some missions are fun and challenging, but most of them follow the same formula: [i]Go here — shoot this — drive there — escape — done.[/i] Still, it has some cool moments, and Joe is theoretically an entertaining character to play as. If you liked the base game and want more, it's worth a try — but don’t expect anything close to the emotional depth or polish of the main story. [u][h1]Jimmy’s Vendetta & Jimmy’s Betrayal[/h1] [/u] You can honestly skip both of these — unless you're achievement hunting like I was. They’re very similar to Joe’s Adventures in structure, but without even trying to connect to the main story. It’s basically just random side quests with a generic, silent, forgettable character named Jimmy. The missions can be fun for a while, but there’s no story, no context, no cutscenes — just driving, shooting, time limits, and scoreboards. Feels more like an arcade mode than actual Mafia content. Unless you're a completionist, you're better off ignoring these two DLCs.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Snowy streets, vintage cars, and the rise of a gangster – Mafia II is a masterpiece!" I bought Mafia II during a sale, not expecting much – but what I experienced was far beyond just a game. It felt like I was part of an old-school gangster movie, with a deep, emotional story and a living, breathing world that pulls you in from the very first scene. ✅ Atmosphere & Graphics Empire Bay in the 1940s-50s is absolutely stunning, especially in the winter chapters. Walking through snowy streets, driving classic cars while listening to old jazz or rock 'n' roll on the radio – it just feels right. The attention to detail in the buildings, vehicles, clothing, and ambient sounds really brings the city to life. It’s a nostalgic trip to a different era. ✅ Storyline You play as Vito Scaletta, a war veteran who returns home and slowly gets involved in the world of organized crime. The story is gripping and full of cinematic moments, emotional twists, and powerful character development. It’s not just about shooting or stealing – it’s about loyalty, ambition, betrayal, and survival. ✅ Semi-Open World Mafia II isn’t a traditional open-world game where you just run around doing anything. It’s more structured, with a strong focus on storytelling. But that doesn’t take away from the joy of driving around, exploring the city, or simply taking in the 1950s vibes. There’s a purpose to everything you do, which makes the experience much more immersive. ✅ Lifestyle & Details From visiting bars and clubs to meeting girls and collecting vintage Playboy magazines, the game really captures the lifestyle of the time. These small details add charm and a sense of realism that makes you feel like you're truly living in that world. ✅ Soundtrack The soundtrack deserves special praise. Songs from artists like Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and Dean Martin enhance every moment. Whether you're cruising at night or getting into a shootout, the music sets the perfect tone.

Mafia II captures the essence of the classic gangster story with a stylish, character-driven narrative set against the backdrop of post-war America. Unlike its predecessor’s focus on 1930s organized crime, this installment transports players to the 1940s and ‘50s, immersing them in a world of ambition, loyalty, and the American Dream gone sideways. The story follows Vito Scaletta, a young war veteran trying to escape poverty and make his mark in the Mafia underworld. What sets Mafia II apart is its strong emphasis on characters and relationships. Vito’s journey isn’t just about crime — it’s about friendship, betrayal, and the consequences of choices in a morally gray world. The writing and voice acting bring the characters to life in a way that feels genuine and sometimes painfully human. Visually, for its time, Mafia II was impressive. The city of Empire Bay is richly detailed, with diverse neighborhoods, period-accurate cars, and a killer soundtrack that perfectly captures the era’s mood. The attention to detail helps you feel like you’re really living in a mid-century metropolis. Gameplay-wise, the game offers a solid mix of driving, shooting, and exploration. Combat can feel a bit scripted and linear, but the variety of missions — from high-speed chases to tense shootouts — keeps things engaging. The cover system and gunplay mechanics were a step forward at the time, though they may feel a bit dated now. Some players might find the pacing uneven, with slow stretches between action-packed moments, and the open world is more constrained compared to other sandbox games. However, the strong narrative and cinematic presentation make up for these flaws. Bottom line: Mafia II is a compelling crime drama wrapped in a stylish period package. It’s a must-play for fans of story-rich games who appreciate mood, character, and atmosphere over pure sandbox freedom. Despite its flaws, it remains a memorable and emotionally resonant chapter in the Mafia series. Rating: 8/10

This game aged like a fine wine. for some bizarre reason you need to use a 4gb patcher to fix skybox bugs also set your fps to 60 to prevent slow motion bug

Wasnt able to 100% the whole thing due to a mission glitch but still a solid game 9/10

much better gameplay and missions . havent finished yet so lots of gameplay

It's one of the nostalgic Mafia games. Graphics aren't the best today but years ago it was awesome.

Timeless classic! A brutal look into the American dream going wrong...but told through the lens of a very unique character, who's so charismatic you can't help but love him, despite being the most "evil" protagonist in the series. I never saw a mafia story in which the main character doesn't feel any regret for his actions and doesn't try to sneak a story about morals. Vito is all about this criminal lifestyle until the end. It's all he ever knew.. I find myself coming back to this game every few years. It's really something special.. Many people wish it got the same treatment as Mafia Definitive Edition but me personally I'm hesitant about that because how do you remake something that's already perfect? 10/10

This is one of my most favorite games I have ever played! Characters are great! I love Vito and Joe and other characters are great too. Humor is excelent action is very good story is briliant and many more. There are only two things that I do not like about this game. 1. Sometimes it crashes for no reason 2. DLCs are very bad. But overall this is a great game and you ave to paly it. P.S. Second part is better than the first part

pretty good game better then most similar games. has super good fighting compared to previous mafia game and clean finishers, good and realistic stories and good. Too many glitches and bugs but very well made, render is weird., needs more detail though, like being able to buy new homes or hotels etc. L 2k though for making it spyware

This is the first mafia franchise game that I ever play, my first impression to this game is “Old and Masterpiece”. Actually I was play a lot of game that take setting in the 1900s, I can give an example as L.A Noire. But in this game, I really feel the atmosphere of the 1900s, the song, vehicles, tone, and the story. Firstly I play this game because my laptop can’t play the Mafia: Definitive Edition that I think very-very much better than any Mafia game, even I can’t play the Mafia 2: Definitive Edition. What else I can do?, I play Mafia 2 original. Mafia 2 original bring me back to 1900s even I born in 2000s, but all the classic aspect of Mafia 2 is served very good. I was imagine play Mafia 2 when winter, what a nostalgic experience. Not only the classic aspect that was good, the story also very good, We play as Vito Scaletta, an immigrant from Sicily, Italy that search a American Dream, but not going very well. When he was 17 years old, he was arrested by police and sent to war in Italy in 1943. After the war he’s back and he start a life as a new man with his best friend Joe. I don’t want to give more spoilers, you better play the game and feel the experience. But before you buy this game I can give you a warning especially for Mafia 2 Original that this game is very buggy, different device, different bug, a classic old game problem. But If you can play the definitive I recommend you to play it than the original version. The original version is actually “suck”

Had to change my review due to recent EULA changes that are basically spyware. Just get a "different copy" of it until they change it.

Whatta story man damn rock solid 10/10 Graphics doesnt matter for stories like these ( dont forget to skip DE)

Spyware, force collect all personal data includes credit card details and all personal date from your PC.

Goated as always, one of the best mafia games even if it has flaws... And very optimized too. Although, not for the new generation computers sadly. Windows 7 users rise up. 10/10. Would recommend. (BOUGHT WITH MY OWN MONEY)

Fk your mother,Take-Two.Why do you need your dad's password,just because other countries are not UK, EU, EEA or Switzerland?

Classic 4 sure... Only need to clean the bugs in it

fun game to chill wish was longer

"Going in. Back me up Vito!" sums up the story campaign for Mafia 2.

dont know what yous did on the last update but it keeps crashing

I like this game very much. But facing glitches sometime.

Spyware isn't cool. this game is now spyware.

Like my mom always said, you can never have too much ammo.

good story

best game i've ever played

jedna z nej ceskych her co kdy vydali

Best game

шикарная игра

If the game crashes after the first mission, its because you need to download a patch to let the game use more than 2GB of memory link to the patch: https://ntcore.com/4gb-patch/ File save location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia II\pc
