The developer of this and Mafia I is one of the most interesting game developers around, they have put time and effort into a remarkable game engine that creates a very large and very intricate 'living" world. It is full of action and intricate activity and I have the greatest respect for them and their titles. Hidden and Dangerous was perhaps the best know of their series, a espionage series set in WWII...but they also did two titles set in Vietnam in the US Vietnam war, unique subject matter and their engine does a great job.

I have utmost admiration for both the Mafia titles and think the world that is created, the ambience and the games themselves are very very good, indeed great and they will be recognized as classics as time goes on. I totally ignore modern reviewers who have little understanding of the real issues of game development and are not to be trusted by and large, tho there are exceptions who i do respect. They are used to looking at new title thus the eyes of their own predudicies and that is a disease that has affected critical analysis and treatment of most of the creative arts of the modern age.

Well done i say to this new title.
