Finally 2K Czech's crime masterpiece has been released after over 5 years of development. Has Mafia II lived up to the hype or has it buckled under it's own weight?

For a market flooded with crime based action games and sandbox/open-world games, Mafia II has lived up to its core potential of delivering a memorable period based mafia epic. With an experience that is well-rounded and executed well, the game doesn’t have many weak points aside from one chapter at the mid-point and a few small gameplay and story issues. Don’t let the 1940s setting fool you into thinking Mafia II isn’t as good as GTA as it certainly is.
