![]() Then again, while most people will compare this game to the likes of Grand Theft Auto and Saint's Row, there's so many elements that are completely different. Indeed, from the very beginning Mafia II threatens to be the greatest story you ever played, refusing to stick to a single city like the majority of open-world shooters. Set in the 1940s and 50s, the story begins with Vito Scaletta doing his country proud, fighting in World War II. Prepare to lose yourself in Mafia II's fantastic storyline Throw in a city bursting with personality, mix it with plenty of enjoyable shoot-outs and car chases, and you've got one of the best gaming releases of 2010. ![]() 2K Czech has once again encapsulated the tale of a rise to fame through mob practice, providing an immersive - and sometimes unsettling - journey from small time to made man. I had hoped that Mafia II would continue this trend of gloriously gritty storytelling from the mob underworld, and I was definitely not disappointed. In retrospect, it really shouldn't have surprised me that much, given how incredible the story had been up to that point. Without going into spoilers (for those crazy people who are yet to play it), there's a moment near the end which completely took me by surprise and metaphorically hit me square in the face. The original Mafia is one of the only games I have ever played that genuinely shocked me.
