Interestingly, the original Mafia title sold over two million copies worldwide. In fact, this game helped popularize the whole gangster genre.
Mafia 2 features a deep mobster-driven narrative packed with both behind-the-wheel and on-foot action.
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 like it could become the most compelling Mafia title to date.
Mafia 2 is being developed by Illusion Softworks, who were also the developers of the original Mafia game title.
According to Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K, “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.”
“The ‘wow’ factor of Mafia 2 is definitely the benchmark-setting visual quality and action that you expect to see only in Hollywood movies,” he added.
Mafia 2 is being developed for all next generation video game consoles as well as Games for Windows.
