He pretty much nailed it, great game with a lot of potential but instead rushed & implemented with restrictions and cuts, along side with a cop-out half-baked ending.
wow. i watched this video and laughed.
this guy makes some pretty funny reviews...
The video is broken.
I have to agree with his points.
You have to admit, even if you don't like what he says you know he's right.
I really didn't catch the similarities between Mafia 2 and GTA4 until he brought them up, but probably only because even if GTA4 was an incredible low point for the GTA series, it's still a better game than Mafia 2 in terms of fun to be had.
I really didnt like Mafia 2, it was the little things that really really started to piss me off. Why the fuck is the apartment on the 4th floor? Why the fuck cant he drive himself home? Why the fuck can I open windows, flush toilets and turn on taps?
I also found myself not giving a fuck about the characters.

Haha, NO.
God, I feel so good I didn't buy it.
Couldn't agree more with Yahtzee here.
"Following the adventures of the European immigrant Nico Bel-I mean Vito Scaletti, who arrives in the big city and ends up in various criminal pursuits with his fat best friend Roma-I mean Joe", made me laugh :D
I hear mixed reviews about this game, My friend says it is amazing, Yahtzee says it is bad.
wow this was good, for once i completely agree with him.
It's a really fun game, the story just limited the fun and was cut short.
I saw the reviews for Mafia 2 and I was disappointed with them. I thought it was a wonderful game.
But what the video says is true i reckon.
[QUOTE=Rashy;24846244]Yahtzee says it is bad.[/QUOTE]
No he doesn't.
I'm actually glad I didn't pre-order this. It doesn't seem to last that long and it doesn't even have freeroam. (Or it does but its limited or something)

It's not limited, you just don't have any reason too.
I loved how he cut it to the ending.

I've never disagreed with him nor disliked what he's said, even if he's pissed on something I liked.
You know Yahtzee is supposed to give games bad reviews. Don't get turned off a game just because it got a bad review on Zero Punctuation of all places.
This looked alright for his standards.
I was underwhelmed by the demo, it sure looks nice and I guess the shooting and driving is kinda fun, but... nyerh.
i want an other reveiw of a game he does likes
He liked Modern Warfare, Portal, and Psychonauts
Don't forget Silent Hill 2. He sure won't.
He liked Shadow of the Colossus too.
Damn good good damn damn damn good damn good good damn, damn... good.
He was correct about Mafia 2 except he forgot the part where all quest NPCs don't know how to drive, you can't shoot out of your vehicle and you can't jump out either unless it is a complete stop.
[QUOTE=BurnEmDown;24850795]He liked Shadow of the Colossus too.
Damn good good damn damn damn good damn good good damn, damn... good.[/QUOTE]
And Saints Row 2.
His review was what motivated me into getting it, and I found it to be a shitload of fun.
I liked Mafia 2, even though it was extremely disappointing.
I agreed with every single point he made.
And the Orange Box. In other reviews he compares how good games are on a scale of 0 to Portal.
