RIP Mafia... the first two romps were a blast... past-tense!

I originally gave this a thumbs up review... though for the life of me, I can't recall why. Game has okay graphics and decent open-world sandbox play... but becomes damn near painfully repetitive. You go into a neighborhood, attack smaller businesses, work your way up, then take out the neighborhood boss to liberate said neighborhood. Then wash/rinse/repeat.

Even the storyline itself wasn't that bad... and originally I had a kick in taking out racist groups and such... but I coudn't bring myself to even finish the game, and even the thought of reinstalling and pushing myself to finish it brings back flashbacks of the overly dull repetitive and grindful nature of my last time attempting to play this game... and to me, that's not enjoyment, it's painful mind-numbing boredom. :-/

It's sadly like a AAA-level facebook and/or mobile game at best. -_-

Even more sadly, the only pro to this game... is boobies! xD

PS - Highest I can give this is a 5, and that's just for the large open-world sandbox to run around in... beyond that, this game is just a wash/rinse/repeat grind-fest!
