Driving through these streets while Chuck Berry and Little Richard are playing on the radio transports me to a time period quicker than any text or exposition ever could. All the licenced music from the original release is back and I cannot stress how much these tracks add to the immersion of the game. The other impressive aspect of this title that holds true over time is the sound and music. Back in America due to a gunshot, he will find a way to be dismissed forever from the army, hoping to resume a social climb that will make him forget his modest origins. Poor family, a father full of debts and bad friendships are elements that lead him to be caught in the act during a theft, with the consequence of being brought back to Italy to help in the liberation of the peninsula during the Second World War.

The protagonist responds to the name of Vito Scaletta, born in Italy but soon moved to America with his family, represents the stereotype of the young man who emigrated overseas in the early decades of the 20th century. The rest of the game world has also received a significant boost to graphical fidelity and while there is no hiding the fact that this is now an old game, it is probably the best looking old game you are ever likely to see. More so than ever you can see the rough times that Vito has lived through, in the scars and emotions on his face. The detail in the characters, Vito especially, is quite impressive. The upgraded graphics are wonderful, especially considering this is an upscale and not a full remake. Just know that if you have never played this title, there is a gripping tale of betrayal, duty and suspense that frankly stands head and shoulders above 90% of stories in video games. Despite this being a 10-year-old game, I am not going to spoil anything for you. The story feels familiar for those of us that have seen classic gangster movies like The Godfather or The Untouchables, but there are enough twists and turns on that well-worn road to keep everyone interested. For mine, Mafia II’s story is one of the best pieces of narrative work in gaming history. I am not going to beat around the bush here.
