Mafia 2 – Sequel to best Mafia game yet
As I was searching YouTube aimlessly trying to please my kid with anything I could find, I was searching for intro clips I some how dropped by the Mafia 2 Game trailer, which was announced to be in development two months back.
*** MAFIA I SPOILER WARNING ***
To those of you who don’t know, Mafia is a third-person shooter game that was released back in 2002 by Illusion Softworks. The game was so successful from many aspescts. Game play, sound, and the best part was the story script. It was something so original that reminds you of GodFather story. A decent Taxi driver gets dragged unintentionally into the mob business, raise higher and higher against his well, until he becomes the most wanted, try to sell his Don out, manage to live few good years with his wife and daughter, until he get shot dead infront of his house.
*** END OF SPOILERS ***
Immediately after the game end, many people started asking for a sequel, even though the ending of Part I does not leave much space for extension. News rumored also about development team leader leaving the company, bringing down all hopes of a new game. Now, this trailer came out of no where after years of wait. I doubted they would dump their best selling game ever. A game that have sparked idea for clones, ever since then we saw GodFather the game, and heard of Sopranos game as well. Nevertheless, they seemed to have made a good decision and started the story all over. Trailer does not show any link to Part I, and even shooting style seems different. Target locking seems to have been added, even though the FREE style shooting added some taste to part I, and made GodFather game so easy.
Anyways, this is a game I’d definitely be waiting for. The first part got me on the edge of my chair.

Kroms: Spammer :P.
Brutal Legend: It has sierra smell in it ;/. I don’t see the link between the game and the company logo or first game. I kinda thought they will create more lower rated games suitable to younger ages. I just saw the trailer, and you can tell he is trying to compensate for full throttle. Create new character to take his place.
Graphics looks awesome though.
Nahhh….they’re hopefully doing what I’d do: advertise the game as if it were similar to God of War and all that, and then pump the actual thing with creativity, Schaferness, etc.
Yeah I remember playing and finishing Mafia. It was a pretty cool and satisfying experience.
