first Mafia 2 review: 80% in PC Zone

my review score would round up to that too, 8-8.5 judging from the demo, can't compare to GTAIV, but still getting it.

just kill cops with the all weapons trainers and epxlore the whole map with the no mission failed hack.supertrooper23

So, you just drove around the city, killing random people for 26 hours.

In all honesty... maybe that 10 hours thing is them RUSHING thru it? ive spent close to 10 hours just on the demo.millerlight89

[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="dakan45"] I agree about rushing it. But come on, 10 hours in the demo? Thats not even possible.

Haha, no kidding. You could take one of these posters and put them in a room and they'd squeeze out hours of gameplay out of it lol

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] It is too possible, because I have 9 in the demo. giant11

[QUOTE="dakan45"] Personally i dont see how can anyone spent so much time in such a short and small demo, i mean what where you doing? But i guess posts like that render invalid arguments like "i am not buying the game because its 10 hours long"

Personally, I think the story should be 'cold'. It's not meant to be happy, and it doesn't necessarily need to be full of fervor and life, either. It's the gritty life of a mafioso, after all. Everything else is secondary to business (well, unless you count the whole notion of respect and what not but, meh)

Anyway, 10 hours? Psh, sif. Plus, just because they say it's too 'linear' you can still travel around at the start of chapters- it's not like you've got a timelimit like in the demo. Ultimately it just boils down to having a Menu that says Chapter 1 - Chapter Whatever, and that it won't have all the dull crap GTAIV did (I couldn't care less about some dodgy pool game and a lot of the 'activities' in gta4 - at least *some* of Red Dead Redemptions things were more enjoyable*. All that said I've got a feeling that it'll have something comparable to Free Ride/Free Ride Extreme from the first game.

Either way, I'm playing it because I love Mafia themed stuff. Godfather, Sopranos, throw it at me. Plus, 'linearity' isn't a dirty word anyway. You'll find that GTAIV is more or less a linear adventure in an open sandbox world- no matter what you do you'll still be following the same story in the same motions (excluding the last mission, but, meh). Plus, there's so many games now-a-days having open worlds and a lot of them are almost entirely needless.

Regardless, this is still definitely a purchase for me. At least I know that, if Mafia really is only ~10 hours long (Storyline clearly, because I can dick around because that's who I am) it won't overstay it's welcome as I find myself getting bored of everything very easily.

And yeah, I even spent a great deal of time on the um demo. Ahem. Yes. Time. Yes. Ahem. Great deal of it.

EDIT: Why the hell do I write so much and say pretty much nothing at the same time. God
