I *really* liked the original Mafia but H&D2 was even better IMO. Yeah, yeah! Now that's a *wow* moment right there!" - Yawn, not for me - those Stukas *never* felt more than 3D models on splines to me. I could almost hear the AD + EP screaming in the background to the production team, "That's it guys, bring them in closer, make it even more intense. In CoD I remember one moment where you shoot down around 50 Stukas as they all dive bomb you. It once took me and two mates an hour to take out one tank! Some would think this sounds boring, but in fact it was exhilarating and really felt like we'd achieved success through our own decisions and skill. It's not just the art that's great but the freedom and realism/difficulty, making everything so much more rewarding. The locations all felt real whereas CoD and similar feel to me like 'a game artist's idea of what a location should been like after a few google searches.' As I said in an earlier post it's not just about shaders, polys and high res textures, it's about artists who really study and understand their subject. Obviously the graphics look somewhat dated by today's standards, but the quality still shines through IMO. The weapons are deadly and each mission really lets you decide how you want to do it so you can just play the game again and again (I played as 'lone wolf' SP and coop for multi). Their art, attention to detail, lighting, atmosphere and 'sense of place' is *brilliant* and I love the way the game feels. I'm a huge fan of Illusion Softworks (now 2K Czech) - I must have put so many hours into that game (both SP and coop). H&D2 is one of the best games ever made IMO.

I'm definitely more interested in getting it, and thank god for the pc version.

There were tan lines on them! Way better than doves or packages. Playboy collectibles were pretty rad, real classy looking pictures and girls. Shotgun is really OP, it was the best gun to me by far. I really liked once I got to the mission, the gunplay felt good and it was always moving forward.

The city didn't feel particularly alive, felt more like the ps2 gta cities in terms of atmosphere and people just walking about, I never got the sense they were going or doing anything. It did darken my screen once I exited, but after just pressing ctrl+alt+del it fixed itself.Īll the technical stuff aside the game itself was solid, but nothing really compelling in just the brief moments.

Everything was just way more responsive and so much prettier, on just okay settings Medium graphic settings 1080p and 30fps. Which is good because using the wasd to drive was painfully slow when trying to turn. Real nice seamless implementation of the 360 pad and switching back and for to K/m was no problem with just a press of the button of which control method I wanted. Then I tried the PC version, and all the problems went anyway. And then the actual gameplay parts felt sluggish, walking, shooting, all of it was real bad and poorly done. camera way too zoomed in inside the house, screen teared like a motherfucker, and the unstable framerate made my eyes hurt.

Tried the ps3 demo first, what an awful experience. It's amazing how much better the PC version is the consoles. I say give it a rent and you might be surprised.īut all of this is moot if the developers have abandoned what worked in the first game fortunately it doesn't appear that they have. But I get not wanting to buy the final game based on nothing but the word of some random nobodies on an internet message board. So maybe this demo isn't a good indication of the final game. That's how it's different from the other titles you've mentioned. It gives you the huge city to explore for the sole purpose of immersing you in the universe. While Mafia appears to be a sandbox title, it really isn't. Instead of endless chase-down-the-bad-guy driving missions, you get really unique and atmospheric set pieces every time out. And then you start to appreciate how varied and interesting and dynamic each individual mission is. You really need to get a feel for how the game flows between missions.

If it's anything like the original Mafia, the appeal of Mafia 2 won't be apparent from a simple demo.
