Nevertheless, it does start to feel a little routine after a while. This may be some sort of commentary on the fact that working for the Mafia is similar to working for most other companies in that you have to wake up in the morning and go to work to be led by the nose by some halfwit with a tie on. Some have suggested that this game is an interactive drama, which is why you are led from one mission to the next, with many of them starting in the morning right after you wake up. The gameplay within the Mafia 2 game is more story driven, so you tend to be pulled from one mission to another without much choice in the matter. Is this because they are planning a third? Or, were they going for a Sopranos “Cut to black” ending?Ĭomparing It To That Game You Have PlayedĬomparisons to GTA 4 are inevitable, but you will find they are very different games, and one of the reasons is because you are given more freedom with GTA 4. By the time you get to the point where you discover that crime doesn’t pay, the game almost skips out on you and leaves a lot of stuff unresolved. In typical fashion, the mafia is demonized and your character decides he must get out. You are lured into a life of crime and love it until you suddenly decide you don’t. The game’s storyline is as predictable as ever, just as it was with the first Mafia game. It is in effect a very different gameplay experience from the one you get with GTA. That is not to say that Mafia 1 or 2 players didn’t go on killing rampages as you do with GTA, but with the Mafia games, you don’t feel the need or even the compulsion. Many people though that the first Mafia game was just a rip off of the 3D Grand Theft Auto games, but what actually happened was that people saw they could do more than just cause mayhem when given the freedom to roam. The GTA alternative that really moves in another direction.
