The point isn't for you to change the outcome of the story, but to involve you in it. That's essentially what happens when you play Mafia II. The dialogue is well delivered and each character has his or her own personality. In addition, the atmosphere and visuals are appealing with the roughly period music to accent it. It's immersive enough that you almost forget about the sloppy driving, pseudo-open world, and lack of manual save games, and if you don't watch yourself, you can easily end up playing hours at a time.
