very good game
lots of language (this game is in the record books for the f-bombs). f**k is used 200 times. all the following are used more than 5 times... p**y c**k s**t and other many swears. anyone can be shot with blood spray though if a civillian or police officer is shot you will be wanted. lots of drug refrences and use along with a lot of alchol use and smoking. images of REAL people can be colleted and you see them nude. there are sexual refrences including a charater having s*x (it's not seen) and the s***p place witch is one of the most rudest parts of the game. cut scenes are sometimes more violent than gameplay including a cut scene where a man burries a dead body, a man being stabbed in the neck with blood running down his neck, a man being slashed by knives and a man being shot by a shot gun and these are just off the top of my head. if a kid wants to play this make sure they do not pick up any magazines and if they can skip the cut scenes. overall the game is quite good and fun to play.

This is one of my favorite games I have! But it is also the most mature game I have. If you have scene a gangster movie, you know what this will be like. It doesn't hold back with nearly constant expletives being thrown out (language). The main character is about Vito who comes back from the war. Joe, his best friend, gets him into the business of organized gangs. All he wants is to get rich (bad role model) through any means necesary (violent). In one cut scene, he gets a job in a strip club, and Joe can be a bit of a lady's man (sexual). But, its not all bad. It handles just like any other shooter, does not have online capabilities, and is the most true-to-life example of mobsters.

Review for Mafia I not Mafia II
Look, Rockstar Games has come out with another M rated, violent video game. But trust me when I say this one isn't that bad. If you get your kid to skip all the cutscenes (where they swear) it will be ok. Besides - Why do we think and we are convinced that hearing bad language will let kids or adults go around swearing all the time? Maybe hearing bad language shows an example of people showing their expression, fear or feelings. And now we shall talk about violence: In this game, you will have guns, the ability to run over people, a ability to shoot, punch and all that. Wow, people complain about THIS? People, I don't know if you've noticed, but you can turn OFF the violence! There is a setting in which it says: Blood and turn that all the way down. There is no blood then. Ugh, lets talk about language: Okay, you know, tones of kids hear swearing on TV, and real life? So what if someone says a bad word? Your kid will forget about it in less than 2 days. Skipping a cutscene would be the best choice. I didn't really pay attention to the story, but it is as fun as heck to drive all these old-fashioned cars! To sum it all up, this game should not be compared to GTA at all, as every game is different. Kids at the age of 10 have experienced more bad stuff than 50% in this game. You can steal cars, but why not have some fun once in a while? So 10+ is my choice.

Bloody, awful story, and boring
Mafia 2 is a very violent and much worse than any other M rated game I have played. You play as a world war 2 vet who wants to prove himself to the Mafia. The violence is very like GTA. You can kill police and random people walking on the streets. Pools of blood come out of the body after you kill them. Tons of awful language to. The N word is heard a lot. Sexual content in the game to.

Best game ever!
Great action, lots of violence, if you cant handle it, return it for elmos adventures or some kiddy game for the wii. it deserves the M rating for all of the reasons on the box, but a fantastic game!

Drinking, violence, sex: Why am I playing it?????
OMG!! Someone my age shouldn't be playing this game! However, my dad got it and I watched some of it and thought it looked intresting. If you want your child to play the game, watch out! Lots of F words, s words, and many other words I have to use the first letter of them. Also, the women are like inappropriate. Because of that, my dad lets me play the game when he's in the room, so he can tell when to shut my eyes. So here's my advice: Play it a couple of times, so when your kid wants to play it, they won't see the women.

maturity biggest issue
its not a really bad game, it's just you cant take anything your seeing seriously. everyone my age hears swears pretty much on every day. and almost everyone has a few really violent games. Black Ops is a huge one, almost everyone has that. if your kid is mature enough to handle it and not take any of it into real life, then not a big issue. but if they cant handle at least Wii games, then big no go. Wii's dont have any M rated games

A Venture Into the Dark and Life-Ruining World of the Mafia
Mafia II is a stunning journey into the world of organized crime and the consequences that follow when living a Mafia lifestyle. A warning to all parents, if you let your kids play this game, make them promise to not open the Playboy magazines. I had heard about them before beginning the game, and I decided not to pick them up. There are a few sexual scenes besides the magazines, and there is a ton of inappropriate language. The f word is used over 200 times according to the ESRB, and other language includes p--sy, d-ck, pr-ck, b--ch, a--hole, racist words and phrases such as ch--k, slanty eyed f---, and a couple others. It features lots of smoking, drinking, and talks about selling drugs. It has a lot of violence as well. However the story of Mafia II is surprisingly enough extremely educational. It tells the story of Vito Scaletta, a young man who joins the mob. During his adventures, (SPOILER ALERT) he goes to jail, loses his mother, is alienated by his sister, has his house burned down, loses everything at one point, causes chaos among the organized crime world and in the end, loses his best friend. Even from the beginning, Vito is in it for money and respect. However along the way he begins to question what he is doing and begins to want to change his ways. And in the end, while he gets money and respect, he loses everything and everyone he loves, and it shows within the game, as Vito becomes fed up with the lying, cheating, and abuse within the crime world, and turns on members of his own crime family. It helps you realize one important message: Karma really is a b----.

Please read!!! The truth about Mafia II!
Terrible,awful, boring, bloody, gritty, gruesome, dirty game filled with profanity. You are aloud to do anything you want in this game along with killing innocent civiliance, cops, and other gang members.You can't turn on the radio in your apartment without somebody banging on your door yelling "Turn that f*cking radio down before I smash down this sh*ty wall and stick my f*cking gun up you godd*mn a*s! So you better f*cking run before I call the f*cking cops you f*cking b*tch!" I've heard that it's in the records for how many times they "drop the F bomb". In the missions, there is almost constant sexual references (your best freind hires hookers all the time). You will see at least two sexy ladies in their underware walking around his apartment. Also when you wake up in the morning, if you go look at his bed, you will see a bright red bra on top of the covers. In one scene, a stripper will oraly have sex with a guy. You can pick magazines that have real nude women in them( they aren't animated). The gameplay is surprisingly average and boring. Not worth your' time. Can't believe CSM compared this game to GTA!!!

A very well made mod thriller depicting the life of the mafia underworld.
I got this game for my PS3 as the cover looked enticing and it w Really turned out to be an edge of your seat awesome fun.However,it took me 1 hour of this game to find out this was pause for 12.There is lots of violence,language,sex and prostituition all depicted very realistically.Not very good if you don't want to upbring a generation of future criminals.

good watch your kids behaviour
Im an 11 year old and i feel that i may be a tiny bit to young for this game, but there are some things that you dont want your kid to see. But your kid doesnt have to do the bad stuff, as in the Playboy magazienes found in the game, u have to pick them up which i dont, also parents if your child shoots someone blood splatters everywhere.DRINKING is very big in this game but i mean you cant buy your kid mafia 2 and not think people are going to get wasted. Also if u want to know what this game is like watch the movie the taking of pelham one two three. The swearing i wouldnt care about unless u shelter your kid to much because i can tell you first hand your kid is already saying the f word like me like it or not.
