GameZone: Mafia 2 Preview

GameZone's Eric Duncan writes,

"One way it sets itself apart from GTA is the era in which it takes place. Mafia II's environments and vehicles will change with the time as the narrative progresses. Being set in an earlier time period means things are a bit different than players might expect; characters obviously don't have access to cell phones, weapons are less accurate, and, as expected, vehicles all control like boats. That's more a note on the realism, not a knock on the controls, since it helps build the mood and sell the 1950's style. "

Cannot WAIT to get my hands on this game. One of the few people who actually loved The Godfather II videogame. So this should be absolutely nuts for me if I liked that game.

Caspel5879d ago

I liked Godfather 2 also due to the different genre.

Blaze9295879d ago

yeah it wasn't bad at all IMO. Some of the reviews were way too harsh and it's a shame too - now EA isn't making anymore Godfather games ALTHOUGH they may retract on that if Mafia II is successful. I just love the mafia genre and the game was good on top of it.

TheGearsStillTurn5879d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya1200d ago

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

SonyStyled1200d ago (Edited 1200d ago )

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

jasonismoney1200d ago

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

SonyStyled1200d 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

cthulhucultist1199d 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

Fist4achin1200d ago

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

SonyStyled1200d 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

JEECE1200d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi1200d ago

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

JEECE1200d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
