Minimum number of complete play throughs needed: 1, but you may need to clean up some missing collectables with level select after completion.
Number of missable achievements: 4 these are only missable when going through the chapter the first time. You can always reload and get the achievement later.
Glitched achievements: None
Are there any cheats?: No
Mafia II has 3 difficulty levels. Easy, Medium and Hard. I started the game on Hard and had no problem going through the game. Just remember to use your cover and take your time. You can get about 800 - 900 G on your first playthrough.
There are videos all over YouTube to help with the Playboys and wanted posters. I will post the link for you to view. I waited until I finished the game to collect the wanted posters because you can collect them at anytime. The Playboy's I got as I went through the chapters, as they are chapter sensitive. The achievements are in order of the way I got them so you can kinda see how I went through the game. This is my first attempt at a guide so I hope it helps.
Thanks and credit goes to Achievement Hunter and savgcom for the videos from YouTube.
