This thread has been linked to the game 'Mafia II'.
Wondered if anyone else had tryed the demo and what your thoughts on it were? Personally, it feels abit like GTA to me. Although I enjoyed how you could die extremely easily, as I don't like these games were just because you're the main character, you can take more bullets than everyone else. I won't be buying it, not until it's come way down in price (I predict it will seeing as there doesn't seem to be much hype surrounding it's release).

I played the demo over the weekend and I rather enjoyed it.It doesn't seem to be anything new but I just liked the look and feel of it. I do have reservations after losing interest in The Godfather 2 but I'm still tempted.
And no reviews so close to release always raises a little glimmer of doubt.

I saw that review. I've also seen a 9 so it seems to be covering quite a range of scores.
IGN seem to give every new game a high score. They gave it 7/10.
Playing the demo, I wasn't very impressed. The thing that got me the most was the car control, it's ridiculously easy. Seriously, download the demo, and try the cars out. You can wiggle about side to side and you still keep control, when you should really be spinning out.

I prefer a less realistic car handling in this sort of game, it makes the car chases more fun, I want to handbrake round corners with the police right behind and not have to worry about whether I'm going to spin the car or not.
I've been waiting for this for a while now and will get it on Saturday. Seems to be getting okish reviews but I think it's the sort of game I'll enjoy.
Looking forward to LA Noire more myself... think I'll wait for that to come out.
Alot of the reviews seem to point out how the game is trying to imitate the classic mafia films. The typical 'mafia' storyline looks like it's killed the game off. Would like to ask though; how can you make a Mafia game without it being somewhat similar to the mafia stories we've already heard? That's what the mafia is. Certainly won't be buying after the amount of reviews I've checked though.
