Mafia II has the most realistic driving in snow I have played

I fishtailed into one too many people on the sidewalks to finally understand that you have to put some attention into driving when the ground is covered with snow.  

The main story is a straight line of quests, broken into 15 chapters. And you spend the vast majority of that time driving around the city, from one mission checkpoint to the next. There is very little incentive to do anything but find a fast car, and upgrade it to its max potential. There are not that many clothing options, and nothing much to do outside of the main story.     
 
That said, with only couple chapters left, it has been a fun ride so far.   The missions are varied enough, the story is engaging enough, the gameplay is solid, and the voice actiing is quite top notch. 
 
You are looking at a 15-ish hour experience is you just do the story.
