A sloppy remaster of a great game.
I love the original version of Mafia II, but as of the time I dropped this game, it's unfortunately the worst way to play the game. Particle effects have been downgraded and yet the game still runs worse despite looking the same (at least on PC, may be better in comparison to the original console release). All three DLCs are lackluster with only Joe's Adventures only really being worth the play to bridge a small gap in the story. Odd graphics glitches such as melting faces and AI outright breaking in the remaster is what leads to me to give it a poor score.
Go out of your way to try and pick up the original on Xbox 360 or PS3, and stay far away from this remaster.
