Is it sadistic that I loved having to drive properly around the city in the first game...really made it feel real, not being able to hellraise around corners etc. in fear of the cops

I'll take that and raise you setting up my feedback wheel to the game as well

Did that actually work?

Mafia still has some of the best story ever written for a game..
The graphics is great and aged well, the attention to details is unparalleled. Every single mission is unique.

Mafia 2 is my second most anticipated game after Fallout New Vegas.

This is the only game i am considering upgrading for.
Serioulsy folks, if you have not played the first one, you really need to. It is one of only a handfull of games that is permenantly installed on my system ( SS2 is another ).

best single player pc game ive ever played

 

[Ollie83]

I loved cruising about in the original Mafia. Really looking forward to this

 

[skullman]

Has it aged well?

Yes. Its not mutiplatform muck like GTA, it was designed around the PC platform, and was all the better for it. It's still a joy to play.

 

[Setroc]

Hugely looking forward to this. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

Mafia is quite possibly the best game I have ever played on my PC

The car racing level was a bit annoying though, sometimes it was ridiculously easy and others the difficulty seemed to ramp up too high.

Without doubt my fav game on PC. I must have spent hours not even playing, instead just sitting listening to the music!

There are some videos up from E3 but don't think the footage is anything new. Can't wait for this game to be released.

oohhh this looks good
loved the first game apart from a couple of moments....one mission i got sent on i killed a bazillion people, it was like i had been in a war and won all on my own.
when i went back to the cafe they reacted in a manner as though i had done little more than won a playground fight! the cheeky ********************
need more stars in that to show my anger at them ....see i still remember it today, thats how angry i am at them

 

[MikeB]

looking forward to this to, loved the 1st one

Mafia II gameplay video I posted on Youtube.

A little bit of melee but mostly driving in the city, footage

 

[SkeeterUK]

looks crap in that vid

 

[russ0r]

Will be buying this. Probably my all time favourite PC game. Beat all the GTA sequels by a mile. Do we know if it's set to be released on schedule?

I had to download a trainer for that one mission Never could do it, the car oversteered all over the place.

Also a confirmed demo on the way I think.
