Looks like a gta/mafia style game. Worth trying?

Looks very good.

I am going to try it.

Yeah looks like my sort of game, going to be a pre order for me

K1LLSW1TCH · 1 Dec 2009 at 08:24

Looks 'okay'. I'd probably play the demo first, definitely wouldn't pre-order a game that I've not heard much about.

That guys voice in the youtube video just goes through me btw!

Sounds like a great game, but it looks fairly average in the video really.

Looks good, but is it me or does it just look like another Godfather game?

It's not just you. The driving in that video looks like a slightly better version of the driving in the Godfather videogames. All in all it looks extremely arcade like to the point where even the guns don't have recoil.

What happened when the character got blown across the map onto a balcony but still didn't die? I don't really think it matters that they *based* the character on a real life person when the game looks like it plays out as a poor mans GTA 4.

I have had this on preorder for a while, really looking forward to this. I will hopefully have it on Friday.

Apparently all of the Pandemic staff involved with this game have been made redundant.

Don't expect any bug fixes or DLC!

That's not a good omen is it?!

Looks good, but I have read that People with ATI cards will have problems running this game.

Why is it developers screw games up for ATI all the time. Why dont they just play fair.

Yea I was looking at getting this game too but have since read it's totally un-playable on ATi cards at the moment. Freezes without any solution.

Hopefully there will be a release day patch!

I have this on preorder and a hd 5870, hopefully there will be a patch quickly if there are problems

Fantastic game

Mafia meets GTA4, but runs a lot better than GTA4. (works fine on my 8800GT, X2 3800+)

I love this game, got it yesterday and its fantastic.

Running a 1gb 4890 and I7 @ 3.6ghz and I've had no problems so far.

Deadbeat · 6 Dec 2009 at 21:03

That's promising, I liked the vid preview - could be worth looking in to.

Oizu · 6 Dec 2009 at 21:10

its from pandemic so im expecting nothing except a dreadful rushed game like their last few outputs

Are you having any problems with you 4890 (ATI) cards are having a few problems with the game.

Mad_Jay · 6 Dec 2009 at 23:15

I've had no problems what so ever, the odd glitched building here and there in random spots when I'm driving but thats it.

I'm not sure what driver version I'm on, I've not updated in ages. Perhaps that is the case?

*edit*

Just downloaded and ran GPU-Z, I'm on Cat 9.8 Driver 8.14.10.0685.
