Mafia II (PC, PS3, X360)
Developer: 2K Czech
Publisher: 2K Games
Genre: Action/Shooter
9/10
Summary: Mafia II is not perfect. Too short, does not contain much replay value and sometimes the transportation lengths are a little too long. At the same time it's skillfully told, incredibly good-looking and close to unimaginably atmospheric.
