Looks good :) Nice to see they're keeping with the era and the same 'look'.

New York, NY - August 21, 2007 - 2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today announced that it will publish Mafia 2, a sequel to the original Mafia title that sold more than two million copies worldwide and helped popularize the gangster genre. Featuring a deep mobster-driven narrative packed with both behind-the-wheel and on-foot action, Mafia 2 is the sequel fans have been clamoring for. The game is being developed by Illusion Softworks, developers of the original Mafia title, for next generation consoles and Games for Windows®.

Like the original Mafia title, Mafia 2 immerses players in the mob underworld of a fictitious late 1940's-early 1950's scenario. Players will easily become engaged in the game's cinematic Hollywood movie experience with strong, believable characters in a living, breathing city. By fusing high octane gunplay with white knuckle driving and an engaging narrative, Mafia 2 looks to be the industry's most compelling Mafia title to date.

"As the original Mafia was a big success, we are excited to leverage the power of next generation console technology to create an all-new experience, while embracing the elements that resonated with the previous game's fans," said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. "The 'wow' factor of Mafia 2 is definitely the benchmark-setting visual quality and action that you expect to see only in Hollywood movies."

This should spark sales of Mafia I again in the meantime. I know I will be giving it a try as I never finished it first time round.
 
It looks very similar to bioshock mainly cos same ppl i think. Also mafia 2 was if ever made to have multiplayer so thats a bonus if it gets in.

The same period of time also, I believe. So they will have plenty of experience with the art direction of the period at least. (art deco and so on)
 
Wow, that looks immense. Mafia is a truly great game, one of the best, hope this is just as good! :D

Any ideas of a release date?....another one to add to the list!
 
The best PC game I've ever played, installed it on Vista last night and was stunned that it actually worked. I can't wait.
 
Looks like i'm gonna have to reinstall the orginal and play a fantastic game again. glad to hear it works on vista.
