Free Download Mafia 2 Review

Mafia 2 has always been a highly-acclaimed game, and its 'definitive' edition has recently become available for download. As someone who had never played a single game in this franchise before, I decided to dive into it and see what all the fuss is about.

The story is probably the best part of the game, and was the thing that kept me going till the very end as I had to know how the storyline would be wrapped up. After being caught robbing a jewellery store, Vito Scaletta, a Sicilian immigrant, is forced to join the army in 1943 during World War II. As he fights Italian soldiers in the first mission, it also doubles up as a tutorial for the combat system which consists mainly of cover-based shooting.

The game starts off in Empire Bay, a fictional city on the East Coast of the USA, and follows Vito's journey as he tries to make a decent living for himself and his family. With the help of local mob bosses, he becomes embroiled in the world of organized crime and must navigate the treacherous landscape.

I purchased this game on the recommendation of my cousin, who advised that it was a very good video game equivalent of the film Goodfellas, one of his all-time favourite games. After finally seeing Goodfellas for the first time, I decided to give it a try and see if it lived up to its reputation.

The result is a gripping and engaging game that kept me entertained throughout my playthrough. The story is well-written and well-paced, with memorable characters and set pieces. The gameplay is also solid, with a responsive controls system and an enjoyable cover-based combat mechanic.

Overall, I would highly recommend the definitive edition of Mafia 2 to anyone looking for a good open-world game with a strong narrative. With its reasonable price point of £25 on the Playstation Store, it's definitely worth considering as a way to pass the time during these lockdown days.
