Well, courtesy of my mate Ferral, who already owned it and then bought a new graphics card with Mafia2 on Steam for free.... I've been playing it.
It's got music to die for, atmosphere like very few games and a story line that just works like a book.
Guns, basic fighting, driving, a good sized city... stealth levels... it's very very exciting.
And it really does look very lovely.
So... if you've got a hankering for a semi stealthy, medium paced adventure, with a little bit of everything... questing.... fighting.... shooting..... and wandering about.. this game from quite a while ago, if you missed it as I did... is worthy.
It has a few minor foibles... like the time you lose to the real world... but these are minor...
6 hours in, a few good tasks under my belt, a prison sentence... and frankly a quite tense set of FMV intro's to the situations, makes it waaaay worthy of a place in your game library.
First 3 hours.... 7 /10 and a few 8/10 moments...
next 6 hours.... 8/10 all the way.
Quite in love with it tbh. Only played demo instances of it before and they were wasted. You need story, background and character for this game... and from the first scene it drew me in.
Do it... don't miss out now it's older
(machine is a Q6700 at 2.9, with 4 gig and a GTX 275 and it sruns on a 22" at 1680x1050 in sublime lovelynes... so don't feel like you need a behemoth of a machine in 2011)

) the story is rather good and the ending is simple but quite fitting.
