OXCGN reviewer gets up-close-n-personal with La Familia in Mafia II with his latest review. For some the game is a welcome relief, and for others a bit of a disappointment. Personally I'm enjoying the game, but come and check out what this reviewer has to say about a title that has been 8 yrs in the making.

Does it make the cut - or not, come check it out and see.

It’s only taken 2K Czech 8 years to develop and release Mafia II but I would have gladly waited another year if that meant a longer game storyline, a more fleshed out environment and more activities to do within the city of Empire Bay.

Mafia II seems to give the player the illusion that this game is an open world game much like Grand Theft Auto 4.

Technically it is open world, but because 2K Czech have spent so much time and effort in creating an engaging storyline you are always pointed in the direction of where to go.

You’re not free to do any side missions because there are none, you’re not given different contacts who have jobs for you to do whenever you’re bored or need money etc..

Mafia II is like the love child of Grand Theft Auto 4 and The Godfather II.
