Mafia II is one of my favorite games I have played. It is realistic and tell a story about what happened in the mafia in the 1940's. the game shows detail and perfect special effects. Mafia II uses detail for all it 3D modeling. For example when you scratch a car the scratches look realistic and not an over the top smash. when using guns, when firing the impact of the guns firing is realistic with time lengh and blood splatter.
