Mafia 2 seems to a game that has recieved a mixed bag of praise and criticism and not aligning the gaming community,
I don't understand why people have been so quick to criticise the game.
The overall feel of the game is remarkably polished and well crafted. The story of the game is excellent and is very
well written although it is left very open, which indicates either a sequel or more DLC to wrap up the life of Vito( Main Character Name).
Top notch voice acting complimenting the story and make the game that bit more immersive and enjoyable.
The characters are genuinely likable (Murder and all that Mafia stuff aside) and its easy to play to game for many hours
in one sitting, I got the game on Friday and had it completed yesterday (Monday), the whole process took about 12 hours but I did a
bit of trophy hunting to pad out the missions. People have been complaining about the length of the game which I don't
think is fair as the game has excellent pacing and most games produced now are about 10-15 hours in length, just because
this is a sandbox doesn't mean that it must be 30+ hours. A lot of people don't want to play a game for 40 hrs+ because
by the end there is a good chance it will be boring, the only games that I have ever played that have taken me 40+ hours
to complete and I never got bored playing are the bioware games and final fantasy games.
The gameplay is extremely intuitive and controls are excellent, there hasn't been one instance of wishing that the
buttons where in a different configuration and again it just makes that much easier to grab you and let you become

Honestly was dissapointed with the game overall. The game was too short and has been overly hyped by the publishers and developers almost making feel robbed of the games potential. This game had potential. The first MAFIA game was 22 Chapters but Mafia 2 was only 15 Chapters.
The game also lacked some quality assurance having some bugs here and there for such a hugely anticipated game. Dissapointing.
Gameplay was ok, just the camera work needed a little more adjustments - this is one of a few examples of what i mean by lacking quality assurance. The game world is not as massive it seems as the game is completely linear and doesn't give the chance to free roam like the first game.
Story was great I did enjoy watching the FMV sequences throughout the game. Felt like a real gangster movie, with good acting and a great Soundtrack - this soundtrack is also available on CD* with the Collector's Edition.
The collector's edition box was also the positive. I recieved an Art book, an *Original Soundtrack CD which was designed as a classic american vinyl (awesome!) and well packaged in a huge steel box - the size of two blu-ray boxes i'd say. This edition may be an Amazon.co.uk exclusive where as a friend of mine bought his 'special edition' from HMV and did not recieve any of the luxuries i got.
Final conclusion: Should you buy it?
If like me you like great storylines and great action sequences performed by the actors in the game. Then buy it but buy the standard edition, and you dont have to keep it!

I'd thought before purchasing this product that, the free roaming was through out the game but it turns out, that Free Roaming is only available during in games story mode (with the abillity to go to the mission selected as a white circle with a red line round it (on gameplay screen and on map screen).
Because of the product being called "The Collectors Edition" this includes two coded DLC packs of which is in the game sleeve with the controls and map etc the DLC coded ones are called "The Betrayal Of Jimmy and Made Man Packs".
The codes are to be typed in the redem section of the Playstation Store. The other DLC's have a price cost. Once the DLC codes is accepted and downloaded free roam is available with Jimmy's Betrayal, Jimmy's Vendetta and Joe's Adventures. This game, overall is a action packed and extra packed must buy despite the first thoughts of the game!

Recently I asked on the "Kane And Lynch 2: Dog Days" forums here on Gamespot, why it had had some pretty average or poor scores, and other than the graphiccs and camera, one of the main reasons given was the shortness of the Single Player story.
And unfortunately that is true for Mafia II.
The game looks great, don't get me wrong, it gives the impression that 2k Czech have put many long hours into designing, redesigning, and perfecting the look of the game to make it so authentic to the late 1940's and post war 1950's. The buildings and cityscape along with the cars look really good.
However it is the story that is a let-down, while told very well, rather than be a continuous fluid story it instead prefers to use the method of jumping forward in time from event to event in the life of the game's player controlled character which leaves no room for other activities, other than picking up collectibles which will hardly do anything to expand on the game's longevity.
And it is this longevity that's the main problem, as I mentioned in the beginning of this review about Kane & Lynch, the main problem with this game is that for something which has little to do outside the main story, the roughly 15 hours story gameplay seems really extraordinarily short, and that is a shame because the game deserves to be up there with Grand Theft Auto and other similar games but unfortunately it feels like once all the hard work had been put into making the game look so good, the story became a after thought that did not have similar care and attention paid to it,
