Mafia II

I am looking forward to getting a copy of this next week and playing it. Anyone else?

Sort of has the same feel/atmosphere as you would get with GTA however with different gameplay. Mafia II is much more linear and story driven. If you are looking for a sandbox style gameplay with lots of side missions it is not one of those games. However, the things you actually do in the game are quite similar.

I saw it at Gamestop the other day. Wasn't sure what it was all about.

Thanks for the insight.

Decent game. Disappointed in the length which was only around 14 hours on normal. This was just doing the storyline. I did not focus on searching for all the wanted posters and playboy magazines which are only the side things you can do besides stealing cars and robbing stores. I really enjoyed the story driven aspect of it which is different from GTA. If the length of the game was extended up to 40 hours I would have ranked it as good as GTAIV.

I purchased this game and while good, falls short of its asking price. Just not enough content. I do recommend this game as a rental as it can be enjoyed and beaten in a few days. Worth playing if you like the GTA series of games.
