I finished it this morning, after about 10 hours total. (difficulty: middle)

Well it was good, and nice to have some connection to Mafia I. But the only reason for me to re-play it would be to find all collectables.
After all driving was ok, it just took some getting used-to.

Without wanting to spoil anything, I'd like to say that the ending was a little bit weird. And I felt a little bit sad.
