@HurricaneDave: Oh man I sure did hate those races. That's the only thing that made me hate the game, that and the damn long ass load times going between the sectors.

This was a great game.

This game is a must buy, hands down (so I guess I'll be carrying it home between my teeth)

It was flawed, but not the the extent where it stopped being a masterpiece.

Mafia is one of the most underrated games ever. These screenshots make me want to go back and play it. I actually didn't mind the slow cars, but I can understand that being a point of contention for most people. Yes, the races sucked, but I honestly can't remember them. Obeying traffic laws grounded the game in reality.

I'm kinda surprised to see how many people agree that Mafia was one of the best games ever made. But it's true, the story and all cinematic elements are fantastic and it has the perfect mix of driving and shooting.

This is a day one purchase for me, regardless of further details/hype.

Mafia for the PC will always retain its place as one of my top 5 most favorite of all games every created. Truly an epic.

if number two changes a few things for the Better than thats another title added.

@TKoTD: But if you're going to be in the Mafia properly you'll have to, it could be one of the first missions as its not like he's well protected or anything. Pretty easy hit, however stylish/classy/shocking it is.

Mafia is still my favorite game of all time. I absolutely loved the story. The only bad part was the driving but I still loved that game.

Wouldn't it be great if one of the missions in the sequel is you enacting the events at the end of the first? That would dovetail nicely and be a good nod to the fans. Oh and I'm totally stoked for this!

I loved Mafia. I had my gamepad hooked up to my PC and would pick it up the minute I jumped into my car to make driveing easier.

I'll never forget having to go 'teach' those guys, that messed with Salieri's daughter, a lesson. With a baseball bats. You couldn't fire a gun or you would alert the target bad guy far in the back of the complex. God Pauly died 12 times in a row in that one! Frustrating.

I'm really looking forward to this even though i never got to finish the first mafia due to bad targeting and yes the races were crap but i loved having to stay in the rules, not driving too fast and not running red lights. And don't forget running out of gas! I laughed my head off first time that happend.

Can't wait for this one either. Mafia was totally one of my all time favorites on PC. I picked it up again a year or two ago from a CompUSA bargain rack for like $5. It felt like stealing. If this sequel is half as good as the original, we're in for a treat.

I hope that guy wearing the red floral, under the brown leather jacket, is going to keep it that, and not change to paisley and blond hair - because that's my character design!

mafia was pretty cool as i remember it, although the driving was AWFUL. I remember thinking 'ah a race car mission i can finally drive quickly!'; how very, very wrong i was...

realism is cool and all but the cars in mafia were a little too realistic for my liking.

I'm really happy that this game takes place in the 50's. Can't wait to see those vintage Caddys. Hopefully the next one will be in the 70s for some American Gangster/Goodfellas type scenarios.

@Acunia: That was so wrong... I lol'd.
@Lokno: I liked the cars, but I hated when right at the end of a mission the car would get stuck on the tunnel (north of Salieri's) because it didn't have enough horsepower to go uphill at the tunnel exit.

What was wrong with the cars? Racing level aside, I think the attempt to simulate period cars was part of its charm.

Also: [kotaku.com] looks incredibly like a corner from the first MAFIA, right outside the hideout, driving downwards. Um...yea I memorized it.

It really looks similar because of the bridge and all. Pretty cool.

Also from the pics you can deduce that it will be slightly more modern than its predecessor possibly being set in the era that the first game ends in 50s/60s. I'm talking about the final cutscene, the original doesn't play through the decades for those who haven't tried it. :-)

Candlejack — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 07:36:42 MST

Gief. Nao.

I want this game badly, but even some more info would do it. Telling from the screenshots, the game already has the charm of the original MAFIA. It fits perfectly.

Keep an eye on this one boys, it's gotta be good.

The original was brilliant. So many flawless set pieces. It was a masterpiece. Sure the race was a blot on the manuscript of its genius but The Godfather series didn't end at 2 either. :-D

That would be neat. I never got a chance to play the first Mafia.

bonecows — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 07:33:07 MST

I liked Mafia but not as much as most people. The races were a pain in the backside and driving within the speed limit respecting the lights was really boring.
The action was awesome and the history was even better (I'm a sucker for mafia histories), but the game felt too linear sometimes. I remember being blown away by the facial models in that game so I hope the sequel will live it up in the graphics department too. Mafia 2 will definitely be on my must buy list.

RandomPoltergeist — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 07:30:19 MST

Mafia was (and still is) one of better sandbox games developed. But the driving bits were weak...

This looks great though, it will definitely live up to the original.

Man Im so looking foward to this game since I loved the story + characters in the first one.

But must agree, no more fucking races please. That was the only thing I HATED in the first game.

Wow the game looks great. If they nail the driving system and get rid of crap like races , this will be a must buy.
