Mafia II for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Let me start off by saying I love mafia movies, with that said this game was no let down storywise. It had all this twist and turns; rises and falls of any good mob movie. It was not story this game was lacking in it was gameplay mechanics. For starters the game felt very linear, at no point did I not feel like I was in the middle of something. Then there was multiple start overs. How often do I need to buy the same guns and were there not banks in the 50s? Last but not least why wasn't there a way to save over then the auto-saves? Nothing like losing an hours worth of money making to someone pulling a gun from no where. I was able to look past most of this up until making money became extra important. It was a very pretty game and the driving was fun and road weather added an interesting spin to driving. I say rent it, don't buy it and play it till it makes you mad then send it back.
