Mafia II transcends much of what makes open world games so memorable, avoiding sentimental quests and simplistic storytelling for the occasionally creepy moments.
It’s a mature and exciting game for gamers, especially those looking for something more emotionally advanced than other open world titles like Grand Theft Auto.
History
Mafia II is a dark affair, which traces the journey of the protagonist Vito Scaletta in becoming a grown man. It’s a gripping story that will keep you hooked for the entire game.
The game traces Scaletta’s eight-year life when he begins as a petty criminal forced to enlist, head to Italy and fight Mussolini’s forces. When he comes home and becomes a street thug, his adventures with the mafia eventually turn into great news: they want him to join the family.
Considering this game is called Mafia II… the choice is clear. Vito joins the mafia, hanging up his hat like an ordinary man. But the price is more than he might be willing to pay.
The game serves as a cautionary tale to anyone considering a life of crime, but you’ll want to be there for Vito’s rise and eventual fall from grace.
