You know what was the most accurate aspect HBO's award-winning TV series The Sopranos' depiction of Mafia life? Not the whacking, not the idea of honor, but instead Tony Soprano's determined, yet aimless driving around town that embodies the mafia boss's struggle against his societal cage. 2K Games' Mafia II, available on OnLive's gaming service, similarly touches on Mafia themes--the importance of family, honor, revenge--but also gives the player the unusual experience of driving around a town for hours with nothing to do but ponder the weight of their actions. While an action-game at heart, the slow burn of the narrative and long-winded pacing makes Mafia II less a thrill ride than a creaky drive around town. To put it another way: While many action games are Red Bull-infused, machine gun-toting nutjobs with attention spans as short as their hair, Mafia II is the relaxed, serious man in the corner. He's well dressed, a little bit boring, but tells a good yarn between long drags on his cigarette.
