@oboynesquick I'm not a PC gamer and I think Mafia 2 is great. If you think this is the worst game of this gen, then you should really play some more games. Even with the faults of the game (every game has faults) I still don't see how this could even be on a list for "worst games of this generation".

@Voshempa

Does one half of one percent of statements on the internet have anything other than a BS opinion to back them up?
I doubt it. Mafia 2 isn't great but it's a hell of a lot better than a lot of rubbish out there. And I've played it so I should know.

That's a lot of disapointed gamers.. the 'mafia' thing is popular with certain crowds.. some they even think they are 'gansters' when all they do is get stoned in parks & go shoplifting.. explains why I haven't seen them the last 2 weeks...

This game could be the inspiration they needed to bring a touch of class to their crime.. get stoned at the top of the eiffel tower listening to hot jazz instead?

I liked Mafia 1 back in the days and Mafia 2 eventually. Second game has its problems, especially with cliches (at least I thought so) but overall its pretty enjoyable game. So I'm not surprised its topping charts.
There's this one certain moment in this game which was worth making whole thing for it. (I wont spoil it, but who played the game knows what moment I'm talking about)

@Sally

I'm confused, you just bought the game yourself and your moaning that other people have bought the game?

@Milky1985 He's also whining about " the people here".. now that's constructive criticism for ya'. I just want to virtual punch him in the heart for starting his comment with "so". What a pretentious douche bag.

@Meghterb1985 I really like it too. It's not a slam-bang actioner like so many clones of so many games nowadays, but give it an hour and it will suck you in for another eight.

The gunplay is satisfying and precise, the weapons are rendered quite beautifully and accurately for a third-person shooter. As a gun buff, I appreciated that. While the cutscenes are many, none are too long to really take you away from the fact you are playing a game... and the long ones are done well enough to elicit the right emotional impact the game was going for. I really want to kill this guy, I really feel bad for this guy, and I want to see more of this guy.

Problems lie in the fact that there are no real side-missions or choose-to in the story. For an open world, it relies heavily on rails. I want more choices, from deciding to put a .45 in my bedside table drawer to having to be selective with my clothing and weapons for the mission at hand. For example, if you want to take the long guns, you gotta take the raincoat. If you prefer the trousers and shirt, it's handguns only. Frame-rate stutters a bit here and there but nothing too terrible, and I felt the controls could have been tightened up a bit.

So! More side-missions, assassinations, more sandbox, more choices please for Mafia III. But until then I'm satisfied with Mafia II. The majority of people bitching about it are the spastic kids that need a linear CoD campaign where you walk down a block, kill 1000 bad guys, go into building, kill 1000 bad guys, and exit the building/turn a corner, and kill 1000 bad guys.

Mafia II is a really awesome game.

@Mr Khan Metroid came out in the UK the day before this data was collected. Wait for next week's chart and Metroid should be up there in the top 10.

I love the game. I think it becomes "cool" to slam games that get a few bad reviews or games that are highly anticipated. Same thing happened with GTA 4. It does a half billion dollars in sales in a couple of weeks and all of a sudden nobody likes it.

I don't want to give anything away but I'm at the part of the game where you do a lot of hand to hand fighting and am having a blast playing it.
