The AI also leaves an awful lot to be desired. The aiming could certainly be tightened up, and is particularly bad in close quarters combat. The gunplay in Mafia 2 is pretty generic, offering a cover system that works well enough, and an assortment of WW2 era weaponry.
Of course, the majority of your time spent fighting is with a gun, and not your fists. I would've preferred just watching these fights in cut scenes, to be honest. The camera can get kind of iffy while fist fighting and the entire system feels slightly unnecessary. You have a fast attack, and strong attack, and can dodge, as well as the ability to perform a combo and a finishing move by mashing the same button over and over. The melee combat system in Mafia 2 is extremely basic. However, it's way too easy to get Vito killed when driving crashing at a speed of over 70 kilometers per hour almost always spells certain death, which gets old real fast. The driving is fairly well done, with vehicles handling nicely, and a strong assortment of classic cars to choose from. There are some exceptions to this, such as a few missions that require stealth, but generally these are the three pillars of gameplay that Mafia 2 relies most heavily on. When not watching cut scenes, you'll often be doing one of three things in Mafia 2 driving, shooting, or fist fighting. Also, the game's ending is frustratingly unsatisfying, and doesn't conclude much of anything. Similarly, the relationship between Vito and the final boss isn't explored enough to account for the burning desire for vengeance that Vito seems to have.
Vito's sister, for example, only shows up two or three times in the entire story, yet whenever she does, it's made quite clear that the player is supposed to feel some intense family bond between them but it's just not there. The story does feel rushed at times however, which really detracts from the overall experience. Over the course of the game, you'll start caring about Vito and Joe more and more, even though they are certainly flawed characters. Thanks to some incredible voice acting and an interesting cast of characters, this story telling approach works wonderfully. The story of Mafia 2 is told very cinematically, with a liberal amount of cut scenes placed throughout the game. Thus begins Vito's descent into a life of organized crime. After narrowly escaping death, Vito returned home to find his mother and sister in debt to a loan shark, and his only friend, Joe, engaged in some pretty shady activities. With the outbreak of World War II, and Vito on the wrong side of the law, our young protagonist found himself shipped to Europe to help with the war against Mussolini. You play as Vito Scaletta, the son of Sicillian immigrants who moved to America. Mafia 2 takes place in Empire Bay a New York inspired metropolis during the late 1940s and early 1950s. But what better way is there to live out one's gangster-fantasy than through a video game, right? Developed by 2K Czech, Mafia 2 is the long awaited sequel to the 2002 cult classic Mafia, and it certainly scratches that itch of curiosity that a life of crime and violence seems to invoke. Of course, for the average law-abiding citizen, being a mobster is nothing more than a childish dream.
