This game is awesome.

Everyone with who loves Half Life should buy this game, it is the undisputed master of creativity as far as creative games go. The community support is just mind-boggling with thousands upon thousands of mods ranging that would take to long to even describe the variety.

If you have even a ounce of creativity inside you this game is for you and even if you're looking for a mess around a blow things up game this is also for you. The best way to describe this game is it's like Matrix where you're in a virtual world where you can just about do anything.

On top of the insane possiblities it has a mulitplayer feature as well allowing you to show off, build together or go to war with friends or strangers.

Imagine all your favorite Mafia movies thrown into one game set right after WWII. This game doesn't try to be funny or make fun of itself and is truly very serious about the story and your role in the story.

Beyond the serious not it still holds true to the gritty and sometimes dark humor of the Mafia culture. In between missions you are emersed in a open world with many different vehicles but not much to do other than the main story.

The main fault of this game is that like many modern games your basically on a boat going down a stream with not much choice but to follow the main story. This kills replayability and really spoils what could've been a ever evolving mafia world under the influence of your actions.

Mafia II nonetheless really opens up in it's story and has a great story and fun gameplay where you get a splash with all the culture of the time and get to sample the entire map and it's fantastic graphics.

Great buy for a good price, but no replayability.
