Noticed PS Plus members can buy Mafia 2 for £8 off of PSN, worth it? I really liked the first one, but the second got a lot of negative vibes.

i have it on PC and have played about an hour of it. so far it was good, but i was very early in the game. im going to go back sometime and start over. i'd say it's worth it for that price.

I'd get it if you like games with a story and don't expect loads of side missions. One of the most enjoyable games I played through that year. Want to play through it again sometime.

I played it on PC and the setting was great but the missions were a joke.

They all practically followed the same pattern: Sleep, wake up to get a phone call, drive to meet and pick someone up, drive some more, (big) gunfight, drive the person back, the end. Just felt like no creativity went into the gameplay.

And when you have completed there really is very little to do other than walk around and drive or start fights with pedestrians. There's extra mission packs to download but I was pretty bored of the game by the time I completed it as you do a lot of driving. One thing that really did irritate me was if you died or failed a mission, you had to do all the driving again.

The collectibles are super annoying. The game is very linear but it's fun and enjoyable. For that price, it's a steal. Note that if you buy the Platinum version, it has all the DLC for just 3 more £.

Played it on 360 and I say go for it...

One of the few games (I have to admit) that I had no "problem" playing through.
It kind of played itself!

^in terms of how much I enjoyed it.

Plus £2.03 shipping.

Getting the DLC is a plus, but having it on my hard drive and for £8 seems the better deal - In case I don't enjoy it that much and never get around to the DLC.

The DLC is terrible, you would not miss much by not having that. Its basically a load of timed missions with a few lines of text as a story... nothing like the actual game.

That been said the actual game is fantastic, the story and cut scenes really get you immersed in the game. One of the best games I have played in a long time.

[Boxster17]

As the poster above said, the DLC really isn't really anything that worthwhile. I enjoyed the game and for that price I'd definitely pick it up and give it a play through.

This is a bargain bin title. It'll keep you occupied for awhile.

I LOVED Mafia II when I played it. It's got a brilliant story (if you like Mafia stories anyway), great atmosphere and some pretty fun gameplay. It's deceptively linear, but it's great to have an open-world, at least to look at. Probably not worth £30 but if you like mafia stuff then it will be £8 well spent.

[Audioboxer]

Yeah I picked it up, only had to pay £6 something as I had change in my PSN wallet.

What I probably like most about it is the flair of the 1950s...

Any other games that are set in the 1950s and of such quality (or better)?
Seasons would be bonus!

L.A Noire comes to mind. It's an amazing game and also has a complete edition with all the DLC.

Already own it, however, is it set in the '50s? (Haven't played it so far)

I thought it's in the '40s?
