Mafia 2 (Definitive Edition) (XSX)

This game can be played on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. However this version DOES NOT include the performance enhancements provided in the Xbox Series X/S version.

Mafia II: Definitive Edition is a game in the action-adventure genre developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K Games. Definitive Edition indicates it is a remake of the original Mafia II from 2010. The game focuses on the protagonist - Vito Scaletta, the scion of immigrants from Sicily.

The game plot is set in the 1940s, giving the players an opportunity to explore the secrets of Empire Bay, a fictional city based on numerous real-life metropolises such as New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles or San Francisco.

One of the most beloved aspects of the Mafia games series is an open world with many streets and nooks and crannies to explore. Combining that with an intriguing and engaging plot and a perfect remaster in HD, it's no rocket since the Definitive Edition is widely approved amongst fans.

Remastered Gameplay

As the city of Empire Bay is extremely large, the player is granted several vehicles to drive from that era. Suffice it to say, the handling of said vehicles is dependent on the in-game weather, for instance, when there is winter, they tend to slip on the ice-covered roads.

There are three different in-game radio stations featured in the game, all of them with licensed music. That gives the player a chance to embrace the atmosphere of that era while listening to tracks from genres such as rock and roll, big band or rhythm and blues.

What would be a game about gang rumbles without access to loads of different weapons? Many fan favourite models such as the Thompson submachine gun or Colt 1911 return, while also new models such as the MG 42 and the Beretta Model 38 from the II World War era make their 'debut'.

Moreover, the cutscenes during the game are created in real-time, which means the same outfits the player is wearing or vehicles they drive will appear in cutscenes. Combined with 4k HD remastered graphics, the cutscenes should be more than enough to satisfy demanding players.

Plot

The 2020 full remake of Mafia 2 definitive edition video game provides the player with an adventure type single-player experience.
