I had a low end pc for the past few years so I had to get some low end games. Mafia 2 certainly appealed to me. I liked open world games, and I liked the whole 40s-50s theme, so I got it. The game is fantastic. The graphics certainly look good today, and the story, voice acting, and characters are fantastic. Probably the worst thing about mafia 2 is the gunplay. It feels pretty awkward, but considering it's 2011, I'll let it fly, so If you love story rich video games, then this is your best bet. I highly recommend you get mafia 2. I got it for 7 dollars on steam, I'm sure you can get it cheaper.
