Edge: Not so much an offer you can’t refuse as an open world you can’t abuse, Mafia II’s city, Empire Bay, is the backdrop for 2K Czech’s tale, not a living, breathing ecology to accommodate your whims and wants. It would be wrong to denigrate Mafia II for the linearity of its structure; it’s design rather than a cop out, a straightforward series of missions tied by the thread of an anti-hero’s journey through the ’40s and ’50s, in the shadow of WWII and economic uncertainty (the New York inspiration extends to direct lifts of the Empire State and Chrysler buildings). In its opening act, some three hours of driving to and from shootouts, Mafia II conjures an evocative sense of place that supports and layers a story that, while familiar, is involving and driven.
With E3 starting next week, 2K Games revealed the biggest E3 line up they have for the year
Only game iam waiting for is for mafia 2 nothing else intrest me well only Metal gear solid peace walkers but ill get that soon

GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3
I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.
@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
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
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
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
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.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Originally released back in 2010 for last-gen (PS3, Xbox 360) consoles, 2K Games has re-released Mafia 2 as part of the Mafia Trilogy, and has called it the “Definitive Edition.” Now, the question is, does this mafia go for the kill, or does it run out of bullets? Read on for our Mafia 2 Definitive Edition review.

epic fail
ouch
This is the definition of flop.
I was SOOOOOOO hyped for this game, but than I played the Demo.... Have to say, though I haven't played the full game, it really seams to deserves it's 4's, 5's, 6's and 7's.
