![]() These issues are holdovers from older game design, but what can’t be excused by the game’s age are the myriad of technical issues that drag the entire experience down. After getting my ass handed to me by bullet-sponge enemies, going back to the very beginning of a mission is the worst, and the campaign’s final mission sent me back at least six times. The lukewarm gameplay wouldn’t be an issue if checkpoint issues weren’t so prevalent throughout. It’s not too exciting, and worse when the game forces driving and backtracking to the same few re-used locations. The main story is linear and most missions involve getting behind cover and shooting at someone. Empire City is a big place full of shops, bars and collectibles to find though, there’s not much else. The action happens from a third-person perspective in an open-world environment. His childhood friend, Joe Barbaro, hooks him up with some work for a few crime families. An Italian-American World War II veteran, Vito returns to fictional Empire City (an amalgam of New York, Chicago, Detroit and Boston) to make a name for himself. In this installment, players assume the role of Vito Scaletta. Mafia II is the second in a trilogy of crime stories. Mafia II: DE checks none of these boxes and I’m honestly surprised that it was released in this state. Unfortunately, MII:DE fails to do what remasters should do - improve the original game in some way and update it for modern audiences, whether this be a bump in resolution, better framerate or having some glitches ironed out. It sounds like a hell of a deal, and ordinarily, would be an offer no one could refuse. ![]() Originally released in 2010, this port of 2K’s open-world action-adventure is titled the “definitive edition” and on the surface, it seems like it’s the total package boasting a cleaner visual style and three post-release DLC packs for $30 (or $60 as a part of a bundle with the other Mafia games). ![]() The games will be available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.I was originally going to open this review with some awful mafia-rleated jokes and puns, but I feel like I should cut to the chase here –the Mafia II: Definitive Edition is a broken game that feels dated and this re-release deserved to have a better coat of paint. The whole trilogy is available for purchase for $60. It will have new features like new voice acting. Mafia III and Mafia II will sell for $30, while the Mafia title will sell for $40. Lastly, Mafia: Definitive Edition is a remake of the original title, and it will debut on August 28. Worth noting: Mafia III had a lot of bugs, and hopefully Hangar 13 has stamped them out. So I guess you would call this a repackaging, rather than a remaster or a remake. The game comes with a free add-on download that includes all of the game’s campaign add-ons and upgrade packs. It’s the same game that debuted in 2016, where you play as Lincoln Clay, an orphan and Vietnam veteran hell-bent on revenge for the deaths of his surrogate family members. Mafia III: Definitive Edition is also available today to play. Hangar 13 is doing all of the work on Mafia and Mafia III. Hangar 13, a studio under Take-Two Interactive’s 2K label, was in charge of the development of the Mafia II: Definitive Edition game, while D3T Limited handled the remastering of the art work. It has an updated script, new cutscenes, and additional gameplay sequences. ![]() This game was never about fantastic-looking characters. I don’t think that folks are going to be that picky about that, as the highlights are the characters, the story, and the gameplay action as you battle other criminals in the mob. So the game looks like its characters were made in 2010, but the environment looks like it came from a more recent game.
