In development by 2K Czech, the same creative team behind the award-winning, genre-defining Mafia, Mafia II transports gamers into the dark and unforgiving world of the Mafia. The compelling narrative is embellished by a sophisticated, era-evoking atmosphere that meticulously replicates the clothing, cars, music and advertising of 1940's and 1950's Americana. Players will easily become immersed in the game's cinematic Hollywood-style experience with strong, believable characters in a living, breathing metropolis. By fusing high-octane gunplay with white-knuckle driving and an engaging narrative, Mafia II looks to be the industry's most compelling Mafia title to date.

Mafia II is slated to arrive on August 24 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC platforms.

this trailer put to bed my fears this game was going to stray from its very realistic roots and become an arcadey GTA clone.

Can not wait!
