Mafia 2

Mafia II finally appeared and this time you will be brought into the adventure in the Italian city that once again, will involve the mafia groups (according to the title game itself). As usual, you'll adventure with the Grand Theft Auto-style game, complete with a vehicle that you can get anywhere, the weapons are also quite varied (in accordance with its time) and do not forget also the way the story is quite interesting. Now the question is, whether the Mafia II is satisfying as its predecessor? Let us discuss with the review below.

In Mafia II, you will play as a guy named Vito Scaletta, a young Italian, who had just returned from World War II. Vito's return was not only welcomed by his family, but also the bad news related to its debt ¬ father is very large. While the father had died. Finally, Vito asked for help his friend, Joe Barbaro to find employment. From where Vito will meet with various characters who eventually made him as an accomplice Falcone mob family. Vito had to fight against the various machinations of the three major mafia groups, namely Falcone, Vinci, and Clemente Upon returning from the war, he knows the fact that it turns out his mother and sister, was in trouble borrowing money with a loan shark. Vito who discovered this fact began to try everything and finally decided that life is "not wealthy" is not suitable for him. Afterwards, Vito started doing all the dirty work to earn money and pay for his life with a glamorous life, ranging from eliminating a person, stealing cars and much more.

Well, all events in this game takes place in Empire Bay, a city designed in such a way that is similar to New York City, complete with residents, police, vehicles as well as Playboy magazine can you find lying about anywhere. The first time you play this game, we are confident you will feel the atmosphere of an open-world game that has been waiting for you, with the mission and tasks that you must run. You can also find lots of things that will certainly make you think that this game is a MUST open-world game. There are clothes shops, there are gun shops, no restaurants and much more. If you have problems with the police, you can choose to pay a fine to the police if it's a mistake you only have small errors (such as speeding and such). If the fault is associated with murder, you can change clothes to fool the police. What about vehicles? All you need to do is go to a repair shop and ask the mechanic to change the number plate. Why replace the license plate number or change clothes? Because this time, the police will be more than just catch you alone, but this time they will also remember the face (perhaps more precisely the appearance) as well as considering the number of police vehicles you. If you want to survive, then you must complete several tasks at the top. You will get some money if the mission can be completed. In addition, you can also earn money by robbing a store or stealing a car and then sell it. To rob a store, aim your weapon to the clerk. If you want to rob a gun store, kill the seller. If not, you will be shot first. To steal a car there are two ways, namely using lockpick or break the glass. Found money you can use to buy clothes, modifying cars, and buy weapons and ammunition.

But it was all just camouflage it. Why do we say camouflage? Because the truth in this game, you are always guided by the existing storyline. You'll never really get a chance to really explore it freely Empire Bay. While it is sometimes you can do little exploration, but it's all just temporary. Once completed, all you know is that apparently the game has you play for a few hours it was finished.

Does this necessarily make it a bad game to play? The fact is, even though there may be a good idea if the game is also getting the freedom to roam as well as Grand Theft Auto full of freedom. As a game that seems truly mission-oriented, this game is a good game. But unfortunately, precisely because of it, this game was changed to seem like a container to accommodate a city that seems unrealistic. It is true there are many people passing by in this game, but they all seem stiff and it makes the game seem empty.
