What did you think of Mafia 2?

(spoilers follow if you hadn't previously anticipated them) While I do think the plot itself had potential and was fairly decent, my biggest issue in this game was the gameplay. The cops are practically male Annie Oakleys if you hadn't noticed, you can be driving at 90 miles an hour and they can headshot you with ease. I also thought it was a bit too easy to die, call me a noob if you want, it's fine. Seriously, I can have full health one minute and then someone with a shotgun from twenty feet away kills me with one shot on normal. Also, did it annoy you that they force you to start from scratch practically, oh, five times? First, you go to jail; lose your money, guns, and suits, and nearly get *** d.Then, you have to invest your cash into paying back Eddie after the cigarette truck is destroyed, leaving you with little to no profit for the trouble. Then, those Irish guys burn down your house; did you save your money? No. Your suits? No. your guns? No. Then, in the hopes of becoming reimbursed, you enter the drug trade and end up making nothing off of it since the chinese guys took all of your money, leaving you with a 55000 dollar debt to a loan shark, will you have any money left after this? No. Then you're captured by Don Vinci, and all your guns, umming you'd gotten any, are gone AGAIN. Then the game ends. What the hell? For the last half of the game you are basically being screwed over again and again; it was more of a chore at that point than a game. And there was the fact that, aside from jacking cars, there was NOTHING to do outside of the missions. They must have an interesting perspective on the life of a mafioso; they get up, do a job, go home, maybe eat a sandwich, and go to bed. Taking all of these factors into account, I can really only give the game a 6/10. What is your opinion?
