Mafia 2

So I recently finished Mafia 2.  You play as a war vet called Vito,who just return from the war. 
The first stage acts as a training level set in Italy during the war,which is a nice touch.
The story is very predicable and not much to write home about,so don't expect to much.
The game spans from the 40s-50s.

The Graphics are very nice,I played it on pc so I cant vouch for the other platforms. 
It runs very smooth and is well optimized.  So you don't need a monster machine to run it.

The combat in this game is very fun and there is nothing more satisfying than emptying a barrel of bullets from your Tommy gun.  You get a wide variety of guns,from a revolver to a M1 Garand.  The Tommy gun however is my favourite,with a barrel of 50 bullets makes gunning your enemies a simple task.   

The only thing I did not enjoy about the game was the driving.  It become tedious and mundane.
And don't get your hopes up on a open world bec there is not much to do other than the missions.
Unless you want to find wanted posters or playboy mag which unlocks pics.
The game is about 13-14 hours long and there are a few missions that are really fun and others were they are very boring. 

Bottom line
I give the game 79% as it is a fun romp and the main characters are likeable.
