You prefer to commit the crime, rather than prevent it, don't you?

Hence why Mafia 2 rocks.

XD lol.

Cant say I've played the game myself but I remember watching trailers and teasers about it before it came out and it did look interesting.

The graphics i believe are supposed to look that way. Like bioshocks graphics but different yaknow?. Anyways it does look like it wouldnt apeal to most gamers though. Maybe i will play a demo or something.

It looks fantastic. I actually had a quick chat with an FBI agent who bought the strategy guide for it today, and he said that a lot of law enforcement and stuff love it. He was buying the strategy guide so he could have a better rank than his buddies apparently xD

I only played it for a little while, but watched my friend play it for hours (it's just as good watching as playing). It's definitely not a game for everyone but if it's your style then it is very good. It does require logic and critical thinking, which that means for me I can't play it in the early mornings, lol.

I really like it.

The only thing that annoys me about it is how sensitive the driving controls are. I keep hitting other cars or pedestrians because of my awful driving control skills. >.<

I currently have a love/hate relationship with this game.

Technically, it's a fine looking game with some great advancements on facial movement and the period itself is captured well, but I find the gameplay repetitive after a while and I have issues with the driving sequences, where as I enjoy driving in the GTA games and riding horses in Red Dead Redemption.

It's a fine game and a great one, but it's a bit lacking in certain areas.

8/10
