Plus, there's nothing quite like listening to a collection of big band and doo-wop hits while driving through city streets that are lined with inviting lunch spots, classic cars, and nondescript brick apartment buildings.
Empire Bay is a large and diverse city that's a treat to explore. One aspect about Mafia II that's nothing short of captivating is its game world. It's colder than Frosty the Snowman's salami up in here. Every character is masterfully presented, the voice acting is spot-on, and the unfolding story will keep you hooked. After Joe forges some paperwork, Vito gets the opportunity to leave the army early and the 2 gradually go from petty organized jobs to climbing the ranks of the Mafia while experiencing many ups and downs along the way. This beginning of the story shows the contrast between Vito's home of the now war-torn Sicily and the promising modern city of Empire Bay which is an absolutely brilliant way to introduce the player to where the protagonist came from and where he's going. Although Joe gets away, Vito is arrested and to serve his time, he decides to fight in World War II. Mafia II stars Vito Scaletta who's caught robbing a store with his buddy Joe Barbaro back in 1943. It's great stuff that'll stay with you long after the end credits roll. Anyway, the overarching story is fantastically engaging and the ending is one of the most hard-hitting that I've ever seen in a video game. Heck, even some of the despicable characters have a certain charm to their womanizing and bigotry that's sure to upset certain types of people but if you expect a bunch of Italian mobsters from the '50s to be an inclusive bunch then you must be smoking some potent jazz cigarettes. By far, the most impressive part of Mafia II is its character-driven story that features a large cast of criminals who you will either love or hate. Now that a Definitive Edition is available for modern consoles, I hope many more gamers check it out so they can see what makes it so special. I remember snagging the limited edition of Mafia II back in the day and playing through it made for one of the most memorable gaming experiences of last generation.
