[...] already wrote about the annoucement of this sequel to the never-hit-it-big GTA-like. Now we offer almost as few [...]

Narrative and atmosphere of Mafia + interactivity and roleplay elements of The Godfather = A Good Game?

I’m slightly having to side ever so slightly more with Walker. And I too played it before the patch – and admittedly, yes – this did mar my view of the game slightly.

But what Mafia definitely oozed was potential. Which I think the sequel can build upon. I just hope they do.

Blimey – you’re all idiots.

I love it very much indeed.

I didn’t love it either, as I was going to say in the post I was halfway through writing before bloody Gillen got there first.

Any other month, I’d guess at this sequel being rather more like GTA than the bold but squiffy first game was. But with Bioshock, a game based heavily around story and self-expression of a sort, being 2K’s biggest deal in a long while, it’ll be interesting to see what approach this new stablemate takes.

I stress that I’m very much alone on not loving Mafia. I believe Walker loves the thing.

This is great news. I loved the first one and thought it was excellent. Even if some of the racing stuff made me want to put a bullet in my brainpan.

But then there’s stuff like the Hotel level and the gas station which were just brilliant. And not all the driving scenes were terrible. The End Game stuff was surprisingly amusing as well. Like the sea monster.

I loved the original Mafia because it felt “authentic”: the city, the cars, the superb BSO… for me it wasn´t a GTA clone as it had its own personality. I falled in love with small things as the slow velocity of the cars, whick made me felt more attached to the city than GTA, that felt more like a toy city, ready for me to abuse it.

And the end, of course.

Really excited for a new one, the “2″ is horrible (hope they change it), but the screens show the attention for detail and high technical standards of Illusion, hope they can improve over the first game.
