“Mafia 2 in general is a very mixed bag of a game: very ambitious, very nostalgic to me personally, but replaying it, you see how poorly its held together. As far as I'm aware, game was in development hell [i]and it shows[/i]. So many…”
“Only good thing is that Improved visuals and physics some what, other then that game is just bugs and glitches, so i prefer original it's comes free with this one anyway.”
