Really, really considering picking this up for the PC, so curious to start hearing feedback once people play it. I have it coming for the 360 through Gamefly, but especially since I just got new graphic cards, I want something new to play on the PC.

GameSpot Score

8.5 great

The Good

  • Fantastic action set pieces
  • Shooting and hand-to-hand combat are both highly satisfying
  • Empire City is beautiful and stuffed with period detail
  • Brutal, involving story populated with interesting, well-acted characters.

The Bad

  • Not enough to do in the open world
  • Too much time spent on mundane tasks.

Destructiod rated the PS3 version the highest because of the exclusive content with a 7.5. It gave the PC and 360 versions 6.5 even though they both are graphically superior to the PS3 version

Extra content sure does make up for that missing grass and textures popping in and etc.

Infrequent and no save any time/quicksave leads to rewatched cutscenes (which you can skip) and the biggest annoyance re-driving to the location again.

I like when the checkpoint system is very cut-throat - Although, could do without skipping cutscenes every time.

Didn't Mafia 1 have a similar system?

Sethos likes games without save any time though :p

Exactly <3

Didn't Mafia 1 have a similar system?

I'm certain it does. I do remember a few fustrated moments where I got killed, then I hard to drive so many miles to the outskirts again to get to the action.

    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.

    • That's not what I meant:) I like the tabs being above the URL bar, but previously the tab selection started from the top of the screen (y=0). So I could just quickly push my mouse up and done. Now I have to actually aim it just slightly below the top, because the tab is now a few pixels below the top. In other words, previously I only had to aim with my mouse horizontally, now I have to both vertically and horizontally. Super annoying.
