So playing this game with your current mindset of how a gun or vehicle should handle will just infuriate you. This game is set in 1945, so your weapons and vehicles handle as they would during that era, which is crap compared to current standards.

Thankfully, your AI buddies are actually smart and do just enough to give you proper support. You can’t take too much damage, so you need to make use of cover, Gears-style. Playing this type of mission like it’s a Halo game is suicide. The crew then makes its way to the rival gang’s home base, where an all-out war goes down. PhysX also powers Mafia II’s clothing and explosion systems, giving both a real-world look. As you’re shooting up the building, pieces of wood and glass will splinter onto the ground in a realistic manner. Where the PC version starts to differentiate itself from the consoles is with the use of Nvidia’s PhysX. They then proceed to take the place down with a hail of bullets. No good deed goes unpunished, so Vito, Joe and a few other members of the crime family pay a visit to a building owned by the rival gang. A rival gang doesn’t appreciate the encroachment on their territory, so they destroy the truck with Molotov cocktails. The demo begins with main character Vito selling cigarettes off the back of a truck with help from his friend, Joe. There’s a deep, serious story here that will provide a nice alternative to those who are tired of over-the-top, arcade-style sandbox crime games. Of course, homicidal driving in 3D isn’t the sole reason you’ll want to pick up Mafia II. Why is that such a big deal?īECAUSE YOU CAN RUN PEOPLE OVER WHILE DRIVING IN FIRST-PERSON VIEW. Besides the exclusive extra features, the game will also have 3D support. Mafia II will be out this August on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, and if given the choice between the three versions, then I’d suggest getting Mafia II on the PC.
