15 Severely Underrated Xbox 360 Games That Deserve A Second Chance
15. Mafia II
Perhaps one of the best sequels of the last-gen, Mafia II improved on its predecessor completely - creating a fully realised city oozing with 1940s and 50s character. It was superbly acted and offered brutally fun gameplay to boot, but it's still a relatively forgotten title of the Xbox 360. 2K put their own spin on the open world formula and crafted a tale that took heavy inspiration from films like The Godfather and Goodfellas, and the environment of Empire Bay is still a great place to roam around in despite the fact it was heavily under-utilised. As it stands Mafia II suffers from some issues of repetitiveness, but its story, gameplay and strong characters all contribute to make it a game you'll regret you missed first time around. Plus, with Mafia 3 on the way, wouldn't now be the perfect time to give it a go?
