It's a great experience, though a game like this would really benefit from being more open to free-roam and not as strictly linear as it is. And this is one of the few games I can think of where you get to drive classic-style cars amplified by the music of the time. Even the cutscenes have an artistic flair to them. Having never played it before, I'm impressed by not only how good it looks, but also that the voice acting and dialogue are excellent.
To say I loved the game is an understatement. While everyone else has been playing the Division and the latest offering from the Hitman series, I've gone back to the 40s and 50s with Mafia 2.
