Mafia 2 is overrated

[Rainhands]

I don't see what was so special about it. It was an average 3rd person cover shooter game for it's time. I played it, enjoyed it for what it was, then moved on with my life. Years later its considered a classic and I'm like how?

It had a tiny map, campaign was short, story was a lame tv series compared to Mafia 1 which was like a godfather movie, combat was unsatisfying and boring. Just wait for someone to poke their head out, rinse and repeat. You never got deep into the Mafia world, Lincoln was deeper involved.

Very average game with no replay value.

Game was an absolute looker on PC, and the main reason to own a high end 200 series card. The shooting was solid and the story is decent, but cut short because 2K Czech cut a lot of content. It had potential to be much better.

Mafia 3 wins over the whole trilogy in that department hands down, but then again, 3 is of the very best examples of writing in gaming to date.

I loved M2. I played it like three times and there is something in that game i love.

Overall it was a below average 3rd person shooter. I love how Mafia 2 reused the same NPC of Vito's sister in the Cat House. You can also find Vito's sister all over the city.

Lol how embarrassing.

I agree, it was an okay open world game, but nothing special.

I prefered Mafia 2 to Mafia 3.
Mafia 2 is a great 25-30$ game

Easy to say it's overrated now. Back when it first came out, it was a masterpiece.

Sure, it had it's flaws, but there was nothing else like it at the time.

Masterpiece on what planet? Surely not earth!

I played it at the time of release like a lot of people, and it was a very average game. The way to compare old games is to compare them against other games released within the same period.

GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect 2 blow it out of the water. It wasn't even one of the best games released that year. Don't forget we had Bad Company 2, Fallout New Vegas, Civilisation 5, COD Black ops.

Mafia 2 doesn't make the top 10 of that year. It's a fact that it's an average 3rd person cover shooter with no replay value.

Mafia 1 and 2 masterpiece for its time.
Mafia 3 biggest pile of poppoo its like they didnt even know what they doing.

Lmao yes... Mafia 2 is overrated and Mafia 3 is a masterpiece.... in your none importance, meaningless opinion.

Calling Mafia 2 overrated and "Average 3rd person cover shooter" to that game is a crime. While also praising that disaster that was Mafia 3, which was nothing but a sheer repetitiveness of destroying rackets while having 20% "Canon" scenes.

Don't even get me start on the fact that you've stated that Vito was a less of a 'mafioso' rather than Lincoln who was basically a murderer with a vengeance vendetta. True, Vito wasn't a 'mafioso' to such a degree as Tommy was in the first game, but he felt more of a genuine mafioso, rather than Lincoln who had none relation to any mafia and was acting all alone, aside from a few colleagues.

Additionally, you noted that the game has tiny map. How is it far to judge a game from 2010 for its small world-map, but otherwise completely avoiding mentioning that Mafia 3 the successor from 2016 had a small map as well. Quite contradictory.. But, well from this post I can already perceive that you're not that intelligent.

TLDR: Stop enforcing your non-existent logic and baseless, factless, moronic opinion onto others. Mafia 2 is an excellent game which was innovative for its time. Unlike Mafia 3 which was utter garbage. I do give you props however for praising the first game though.

People who liked mafia 3 (dont saw what to like in that game maybe just that time period) clearly didnt understand what made mafia 1 and 2 amazing games.

It is unfathomable for me to comprehend how it's possible to like Mafia 3, while also bashing Mafia 2 which actually felt like a genuine, real mafia game.

Exactly, I don't even get how anyone could play through Mafia 3 without it leaving a bad taste in their mouth, if you've ever played M1 or 2 you'd instantly know 3 was awful

People use the word 'overrated' too much
