I have been shocked at some of the review scores being given to Mafia II. Sure, the game has its flaws, but you would have to see through all of its many awesome strengths to award it 4/10. On the other hand, it has also received some pretty awesome reviews from the likes of Game Informer who gave it 90/100, and of course MyGaming – we thought it was worth 88/100.

From the looks of things, it is not going to be for everyone. Some gamers will love it, and some will remain unmoved. It’s just one of those games. Read the reviews, and decide for yourself if it sounds like something you would like to play.

For those who have made up their minds, we have rounded up pricing on currently available pre-orders. 

Zapsonline.com has the cheapest PC version, when we take into account its free delivery if you pre-order. The Steam version may be the best bet though if you have the bandwidth to burn, especially for those who never got around to playing the first game.

As far as the console version goes, there is no major pricing difference, apart from Exclus1ves who is shooting a bit high. Kalahari and Zaps are slightly cheaper than the rest, again thanks to the free delivery. Zaps, again, is probably the best option when you take into account the bonus DLC.

Discuss Mafia II in the forums to find out what other gamers think of this one, and check out this discussion if you are trying to decide which version of the game to get.
