First off, whoever is a fan of hollywood mobster flicks must try this game. This game is beautifully crafted to make you feel like a cool dirty mobster. From the car chases, to awesome gunplay, and over the top voice acting says it all. Here are somethings I like. The attention to detail, other than a few texture pop ups the beautiful environments brings the city to life, destructible objects that can make u or the enemy exposed for the kill, licensed music from the 40s and 50s is always a plus in my book. And the driving mechanics are top notch for me, personally I like the driving better than GTA. And the Flaws. 1- Cops are everywhere I mean everywhere. Basically stalking u to give u a speeding ticket, to a hit and run fine and to annoy u. I know they wanted to go realistic but is the hit and run really needed. Hand to hand combat is a nice feature but can use an overhaul. The lip sync is bad, like watching a japanese movie with english voice work, drives me crazy its 2010 get it right. Other than that the game is still great with about a 10 to 13 hour story mode. Sadly its not and open world game like GTA but it gets the job done. Mafia 2 is a sure buy and a no question rental. Move aside godfather here's Mafia 2
