Mafia III Pre-order

Mafia 1 has arrived in the mail....will be adding to my ever growing list to play:)

I'm so glad I went back to Mafia I and Mafia II.

The immersion in both of those titles is what makes them. It may help with Mafia III - temper my expectations to what I loved about the other two.

For example, one of the things I noticed right away about Mafia III was the lack of places to go. Going back to Mafia I and Mafia II made me realise these games were just like that. So why would I feel disappointed about not being able to walk into other buildings in 3? Probably games like GTA V...bigger, grander open world games.

But again - Mafia I and II didn't have that either. What they did have was a fantastic story and superb detail in the area and the timeline.

When I fired up Mafia III - I noticed it had that. A great story and fantastic attention to detail for the time.

However - what Mafia I and Mafia II had also was a sense of being involved with the Mafia. Apparently, that's not in Mafia III...it's just about a guy getting revenge. Will that matter? I don't know. Perhaps the story will be engaging enough that it's not the fact that your character is a member of the Mafia in 1 and II - but will be engaging enough in itself that he's out for revenge against the Mafia family that interfered in his life.

Here's hoping. Currently, I'm working through Mafia II and enjoying it immensely.

Although I have taken a break from M3, I really was enjoying it for what it was.  Still no regrets and will complete the game, when all these other shiny new toys stop coming out:)

Well I originally posted a link to the Zero Punctuation review of Mafia III, but a lot of people over at YouTube were deeply offended by it, so I didn't fancy bringing that over here...
