You can rack up the stars and wanted level in the game though, which has cops following you like crazy everywhere around the town. On the other side, this also means the driving segments are a little more boring, as police are very prone to try and chase after you just when you’re cruising around the town. This is a pretty neat feature that sets it apart from other series that would not allow you to do this. Running into other vehicles and trying to run over people isn’t the only way to get the police to get after you here either, as even going over the speed limit around them can get them to try and pull you over, where you can simply pay the ticket if it’s a minor enough offence. Driving around is also enhanced with the inclusion of three radio stations that play classic songs from the era, which helps to add to the authentic experience for the period it is set. The game has its fair share of different vehicles to choose from that you can then take to body shops to change as a way to hide from the cops or just fix up for aesthetic reasons. Driving in Mafia II: Definitive Edition is pretty much as you would expect from this style of game, with the controls feeling a bit dated times, but still working well enough to get you from place to place. The gameplay in these story missions usually consists of two different parts, the drive to and from a location in a car and then some sort of other on foot segment that leads to gunfights. On top of that, there are some problems with the loading of textures on time as well, at least in the console version. There are some improvements in this area, but there is still a pretty large gap between the second and third entries in this department. While the environments look much more like what you would expect from this generation of games, the character models still feel a little left behind due to their stilted movement and overall the last generation look. REVIEW : Mafia II: Definitive Edition (XBOX One)īeing the Definitive Edition of the game, Mafia II looks better than ever this time around thanks to polished textures and just about everything about the visual style. The design of the city itself is pretty typical but fits the era that the game is set quite well. However, the map size was good back in 2010 and still works for the game to where things don’t feel too bloated at times. Even though Grand Theft Auto V came at the end of the last generation of consoles, you should not be expecting a map anywhere near that size in Mafia II: Definitive Edition. Mafia II: Definitive Edition is set in the fictional city of Empire Bay, which is an amalgamation of various real cities like New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles. It's a really weird change to probably one of the best guns in the game.REVIEW : Mafia II: Definitive Edition (XBOX One) In Definitive Edition it sounds like shit. Oh and one final thing, in the original, the Magnum made a cool sound when you shot it. Idk why it's paywalled, there's a mission where there's fully upgraded vehicles in it in the base game which is really annoying. Oh, and that final vehicle upgrade is unfortunately very useful. TL DR Xbox 360 version is probably still more stable, and cheaper (unless you want the DLCs, the final vehicle upgrade is locked behind one of the DLCs, Joe's Adventures ties into the main story and the two Jimmy ones are basically arcadey free roam spinoffs) But, that was years ago, I think they fixed that one but I'm not sure. Late game after that was really screwed up. A few goofy bugs here and there, nothing too bad, until you get to one of the chapters later in the game, it's set at night time, and driving in a specific part of the town causes a bright light from God to blind you as the game drops to like, 5-10FPS, stutter, freeze, crash. Outfits, I'm not sure if they unlock with their car packs or if they're available.īig difference though, is that Definitive Edition was unplayable last I tried to play it. Well it depends, I own both, the original xbox 360 version you can get through backwards compatibility won't have the DLCs and buying them seperate will probably end up costing more than Definitive Edition, but you'll have access from the start of the game.ĭefinitive Edition, DLC stories are available from the beginning but the vehicles in those packs are added to your garage in the base game and DLCs as you progress the main story.
