In a win-or-die-trying romp through America's happy days, Mafia II players vie for underworld ascendancy, in the role of a young thug who's willing to drive and shoot his way in and out of whatever trouble it takes to get the job done. The original Mafia won a gangland of fans by combining the open-ended driving adventure and on-foot urban action of Grand Theft Auto III with a more tightly scripted story, set in a romanticized 1930s inspired by films and pulp fiction. Coming a console-generation later, Mafia II presents a grittier, less linear, more personal adventure, but with the same goal of enveloping the player in a cinematic experience of action, storytelling, and violence.
Mafia II is set in fictional interpretation of New York City called Empire City, during the 1940s and early 1950s. Most of the game plays out in a ten square-mile area, created from hundreds of photographs and illustrations of the era, in interactive detail worthy of Illusion Softwork's (now 2K Czech's) original Lost Heaven -- but in higher definition and greater intricacy. Players are free to walk, drive, and move all about the area with no artificial restriction, but the choices made there have realistic consequences. Laws, including traffic laws, are expected to be obeyed. Some character abilities can be advanced as the player desires, as in visiting a gym to improve hand-to-hand fighting. In many common situations, players can choose between normal and violent interactions with objects or people.
Instead of unfortunate circumstances leading the main character to a life of crime, as in the original game, Mafia II's Vito Scaletta is an outlaw hero at heart, whose ambition outweighs his moral reservations right from the start. When he was busted in a small-time robbery that went wrong, he took an opportunity to join the military instead of serving time in jail, The game begins as Vito returns from his tour of duty in World War II, ready to get back to work on his career. There are three competing crime families running the Empire City underworld. With patience, some luck, and a little dirty work, one day Vito could be the man in charge of the one that puts the other two out of business.
Features:
Immersive Gangster Experience: Through strong, authentic characterization, compelling narrative and stunning presentation, the mature storyline will make players understand the pull and impossible escape of life in the Mafia
Action-Packed Gameplay: Take part in heart-stopping car-to-car chases, visceral hand-to-hand combat and intense gunplay, all of which come together to form a deep and engrossing gameplay experience
Illusion Engine: 2K Czech’s proprietary Illusion Engine, allows gamers to explore Empire Bay’s 10 square miles while transitioning from beautifully rendered outdoor environments to intricately designed interiors seamlessly without the need for loading times
Authentic Portrayal of Mid-20th Century America: Experience an epic story set across two decades where the clothing, cars and advertising are meticulously created to replicate the feel of a ‘40s and ‘50s American city; as players progress through the eras the city and its elements will change to reflect the time period.
Soundtrack Reflects the Mood of the Era: Players will be immersed in the Golden Era of America as Mafia II features tracks from some of the era’s most influential artists

Here's an offer you can't refuse: step into the shoes of Vito Scaletta, an ex-soldier turned mafioso in a rags to riches story set in the beautiful Empire Bay.
Story is paramount in this epic game, where you gradually work your way up in the mafia. Inspired by the mafia classics of the big screen (Goodfellas, The Godfather, Casino), Mafia 2 doesn't disappoint, acting out much like a movie you'd pay to see over and over again.
The gameplay is pretty good too... Nothing groundbreaking, but it's the little things that the developers worked into the game that make this an awesome game to play. Destroy cars, walls, concrete pillars and other environmental elements to crush your enemies, earn some coin and respect among the families.
I highly recommend this game, even if you haven't played the original you still become deeply immersed in this exciting adventure!
Thanks for my xbox control which arrived today. Not only was it a great price but the service was second to none with real fast delivery. I would most definetly order again from you. Thanks again guys.
