I think the first one is garbage, but I like 2 a lot, so I'd say it's worth it.

I think they were both amazing. The first one was better though. Yes it's worth it. It might not have had enough content for you to spend 50$ on it, but right now i think you must buy it.

It's a console version of mafia 1 -- which was a dedicated PC game

The part about mafia 2 that's better is smoke on burnouts and drifting in old muscle cars. Outside that it's your classic console game with a covering button known from rainbow six vegas

The story is a total copy of godfather with minimal freedom in this sandbox game to the extent you can't even save in the game ( r o f l )

When I played through it I spent more time pressing fire during cutscenes than playing.

The wanted system is flawed in that you can gun down the whole city, go into a clothing shop, steal a suit with no bots outside and puff your free.

They should have gone with their own ideal from part 1, their own game features and concept instead of making it into a main stream graphics display.

Instead of going more sandbox they went graphics and story really /edit and the story sucks, royally

For $7.50 hell yeah, interesting story and characters (Though ripped a bit to hard from The Godfather, Goodfella's, and Scarface). Fun game, easily justified at that price.

I got it for $12.50 and thought that was a good price for it, so at $7.50 I'd say you should definitely go for it. It's a short game (10 hours and you're done) but it's fun while it lasts. Like others said though, the plot is a rip-off of various movies, in some cases to the point of borderline plagarism.

$7.50? In Europe it's €10. Damn you, Steam.

Do you see Dragon Age 2 on the sales list? I'm in Europe too and the game seems to have vanished off Steam.

At 7.50 its worth it, its a fun game that gives a feal of that time era. But outside of that the game is average in everything esle.

Worth it imo. Its short in length, but I had more fun with Mafia2 then I did with GTA IV to be honest.

Some of hte best voice acting around, good story and fun combat.

More freedom and longer story woulda been nice though.

If you liked the first one, this is exactly like that, albeit with a slightly crummier ending. It's a firm story in an open world without sewage trucks or taxi missions. I liked it.

HAha, yeah I watched my friend complete the game and we were like, "wait, is this the ending?!?" then the credits started rolling lol, the ending is lackluster.

Although its probably a decent game, I haven't played it myself, not really going to get it now either.. But my friend, and my GF both love the game.

At $7.50 the game is a steal. I bought it for $12 back in December steam sales and it was worth it.

For $7.50, hell why not? A good deal there.

You know what the sad thing is? If you buy JV and JA, it'll still be cheaper than buying just the game itself when it came out.

I thought Mafia 2's ending was rushed and unfinished. Still a great game though.

Aus sale price - That is sad. I remember being hyped for this game long before release and the delays. Never got it.

Heard good things about it from a friend and liked the demo well enough to keep it in my radar. I just nabbed it.
