Has anyone played Mafia II the video game?

Is it as bad (sinful) as the gta series, or is it ok to play?

I play just about everything…with that said I don’t in my opinion find games sinful if you keep them in the right context. I play GTA as well but don’t do the raunchy stuff. I’m also a first person shooter fan strictly on the competitive side. I really don’t see me playing sponge bob when I get the chance to play. I certainly can see where not letting kids play these types of games would be very important but if you are an adult and can compartmentalize well like I can it should be alright.

I certainly don’t condone the actions that you can do in some of the games so I don’t do them and leave it on a competitive level with friends I know. I’m sure some on here would say its sinful and I certainly can see where it could be but like I said if you are aware of the bad areas and avoid those then game on in my opinion.

I understand that a minor quest, a scavenger hunt, consists of hunting down copies of Playboy magazine, with visible nudity. That part can be ignored, however. The original game was classy, in my opinion: the story is written as a tragedy in which a good man is destroyed by the Mafia, and crimes against innocents are not glorified or condoned.
