There is a great Mafia II review over at Kotaku and boy am I glad I didn’t buy the game. If you have listen to our last couple podcasts you know that the demo impressed me and that the open world was created beautifully, at least what one saw in the DEMO.

Turns out that the world is beautiful and that you can do even mundane tasks such as flush the toilet or turn lights on and off. What the devs seem to have forgotten to let you play in the open world. Which is too bad, I wanted to like the game, but from the sound of it it will need quite a price drop and a lot of DLC.

He says a lot about his experience with the game, but this right here is the straw… well that makes this a no buy before it hits the bargain bins:

Mafia II is eminently beatable in a single sitting, and its achievements and trophies can be plundered in the span of a rental. With no multiplayer – not saying there should be any for this type of game – I simply can’t see Mafia II as worth the full fare.
