    I'm playing through Mafia II right now my XPS L702X, and besides the graphics being absolutely stunning (to me), I really REALLY enjoy the music!

    And it's not just the music from the beginning, as the years pass, the music changes too! It's nothing major, and doesn't change the game play, but that little bit of attention to detail was just pretty cool!

    I wish the game was a bit more open, but it's a TON of fun at any rate!

    I think I bought this one, just one of the many on my to play one day list.

    Wanted to beat GTA4 first since I already started it and then move to Mafia 2 right after I even got the deluxe edition that I think comes with extra music or something.

    It's a TON of fun, but it's not really anything like GTAIV, you have one mission at any time, and you really don't get to make any decisions, but the story is fun, the Voice Acting is top notch, and I'm a huge fan of the 30/40/50's era music so it lent itself very well to my ear LOL

    Yea I loved Mafia 2, very fun game. Get the DLC where you get to free roam and do missions as you please. The music is really great to listen to. I am a big fan of that era and after playing the game I find myself just listening to some oldies music a lot. I felt that the atmosphere in that game really capture you and sucks you into the game.

    Also, I ended up watching some random episode of Happy Days too, lol.

    Yes I love Mafia II, have 71 hours played on it now, bought all the DLC, the enhanced PhysX in this game just blows my mind, makes the firefights really amazing with the debris and glass shattering. XD The music only enhances the atmosphere as well.

    One of the best things was in Chapter 12 we were going to get loan money and they were playing "Money" by Barrett Strong LOL.

    I have the DLC and can't wait to play them, I'm on Chapter 14 right now in Mafia II and I used the Texture Pack download as well, and it looks damn good.

    I finished playing mafia 2 a month back and totally love the game. I think it's one of the best games I've ever played. What is the DLC edition? What is the difference between that and the normal mafia 2?
