    Default The Mafia II

    Sorry if a thread about this has already been made before, but I just wanted to say that I bought this game last night & it is pretty good.
    I don't like the fact that no matter how I play it, I'm always forced to go to the next mission, but the game is still fun.
    I'm a GTA-type gamer. The only non-GTA type of game I play is NBA 2K11, but I recently started getting bored of it, so I wanted to see if there are any new GTA games out. Note: I'm obviously not a big time gamer because I don't know crap about which new games have been released recently.
    I read about Saints Row, Scarface, The Mafia, and another game called Red Dead Redemption, which I borrowed from an in-law when it was first released but it just didn't appeal to me, to be honest.
    I decided to check out The Mafia. Anybody have thoughts on this game? I know it's a year old, but hell, I was about to start a new data in GTA IV before I decided that I know the story too well to find it as entertaining as I used to.
    ALso, does anybody know of any other games that are currently out that have a GTA-like feel to them?
    I know L.A Noire is coming out tomorrow, but I don't like to buy games when they first come out because of how pricey they are. I wait until the price falls a good $10-$20 before I spend money on it. Also, I read a bunch of reviews before even considering the purchase.

    Yeah, the fighting sucks. I was expecting it to get better as the game gets going, but nope. Reached the part of the game where you're in prison, and it's still the same old punches.

    I was personally not a big fan. Some of the same complaints you have. It's an open world, like GTA, but since they only let you do the active mission, and there's not a ton of side stuff to do, it was just to linear (I'm having a similar gripe with LA Noir right now).

    Saints Row is really exactly what you should be going for. It's pretty much GTA just arcaded out a bit so it's more rediculous.

    Good storyline overall, nice world, I liked the time frame a LOT.

    Needed more side things, to be more free roamable(not a word), better fighting.

    One thing that bothered me is that once you arose to the top you'd fall down and something horrible would happen to you. I mean it happened too many times.

    Bought the humble bundle and I already have Mafia II. Redeems on Steam, I think.
