Game was mediocre at best. Wasn't a gem

Agreed...I expected much more. It had great graphics and atmosphere but all in all was a good game but nothing special.

kraenk123505d ago

After the amazing first game the only thing great with this game was the story. The open world felt empty and all in all the game was a disappointment to me.

LucasRuinedChildhood3505d ago

I had very mixed opinions on Mafia 2. I loved the story, the atmosphere and some of the missions. But ... the half-baked open world (sometimes the NPCs run into chairs and walls and there's not much to do), how easy it was to die while driving (I can only role play and drive carefully for so long - I mean, Jesus), the poor checkpoints (in the open world) instead of normal open world spawn points (this builds onto my previous point), the lack of gun variety (you spend most of the game with that damn hand gun), etc really hurt it.

It is definitely a game worth playing and coming to a conclusion on though. I don't regret playing it.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya1218d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled1218d ago (Edited 1218d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney1218d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled1218d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist1218d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin1218d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled1218d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE1218d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi1218d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE1218d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
