There's a demo for it if you want to check it out. It didn't seem too bad to me. It was on my list of games that I wanted to get.

I got it.
It's somewhat like GTA, in that it's an open world game. But it's a lot more realistic than GTA.
It's pretty good. I don't regret getting it. But then again, I love the 50s. The look, the music, the cars. Trench coats/overcoats are so win.
The cars are the biggest difference from this game and GTA IV. First off, not every car is exactly the same. Well, 98% the same. Every car in GTA gets to the same exact top speed, some just take a little longer to get there. Some handle slightly better than others. But most cars are exactly alike. This is completely untrue in Mafia II. Each car responds differently. Most cars have the same top speed of near 100, and take forever to get there, but there a few cars that are noticeably faster and a lot more responsive than others.
I would rate it 4/5. There needs to be more side missions. Otherwise, this game is amazing.
Is it worth it? $50 is a steep price. Perhaps when it is closer to $30. Unless you absolutely have to have it, it's not really worth it right now.

The story's fun. It's not very much like GTA. There is an open world, but the majority of the game is very storyline-driven. You get to see different parts of the city as you complete missions. It also doesn't have the re-playability of GTA. Once the storyline is over, the game just kinda gets set aside.

That being said, I love the 50's music on the radio, the guns and fight sequences are well done, the cars are great, graphics/scenery makes you feel like you actually in NYC back in the day, and the characters are well portrayed. I agree with Phobus that the gameplay isn't really worth the (in my case - due to Special Edition) $60 I paid for it. But it was enjoyable and the ending left it open for a Mafia III perhaps?

4/5 sounds reasonable to me.

Anyone got it?
-Yes, I have it..

I heard it was like gta is this true?
-I don't see that it is so similar to GTA since Mafia 2 has linear storyline.
And it has the best dramatic story that I've ever played.

How are the cars?
The cars are awesome, I like how real they feel to drive

Your rating? ( *, **, ***, ****, *****)
*****
Is it worth it?
Yes, I already bought the DLC called: "Jimmy's Vendetta"

I don't think it would be worth the money just yet.

I tried the demo and it seems pretty good though. If any of you guys have played the Driver series, it's somewhat like that. Physx also makes it a lot better.

It was entertaining, but short and there wasn't much of a replay value. I say rent it before paying full price for it. You will most likely get your share of entertainment out of the game in that time hehe
