Recent issue of BGamer magazine was devoted to Mafia 2 game. The article shows screenshots with shocking realism. You can take a look at scanned pages of the magazine in our gallery.

Logotype of Mafia 2 will be shown off on the cover of the official “Playstation” magazine in the may 2008. No doubt, because of lack of information about the game the interest of fans grows. We hope that after the May issue of magazine new details will be uncovered.

Yesterday official Mafia 2 site presented first concept art from the game. There is the main character Vito represented. It looks great! 2K Czech promised that more concept arts over coming weeks would be released, we hope so.

Few days ago Gamespot published 4 new screenshots from the game. You can take a look at them in our gallery.

There was uncovered more information. It was known that the last name of Vito is Skaletta. There will be more than 80 cars in the game and game will be produced initially for 3 next gen platforms: Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PS.

According to last information from Tiscali Games, the game will be produced for X-Box 360, Playstation 3 and PC platforms, however, PC version, will as usual be produced few weeks (or even months?) later, so the gamers willing to be the first to play Mafia 2 would only be able to do that on a console.

The game will feature 2 main characters: Vito (the guy you’re playing with) and Joe (it won't be possible to play as Joe, but he will play one of major parts in game story).

Physics and graphic model of cars will be shocking. Broken frontal glass, exploding fuel tanks, realistic holes from bullets, different dents and damaged corps will just charm.

The game is promising to be very realistic, you’d need to fuel-up your car at gas stations, you’d be able to buy new clothes at shops (to evade pursuers) and eat at restaurants (to strengthen up). Your car would also need to be washed after driving. Stuff quite similar to GTA San Andreas.

Empire city would be around 10 Km² large and the city will live with its own, extremely realistic, life.

The cover system in fight will feel like the systems of fight in “Rainbow Six: Vegas” or in “Gears of War”, cover can be found in any suitable places: fences, barrels, boxes, walls, cars, etc.

According to reliable Czech sources, the story will begin as Vito returns to Empire City from war in Europe, shortly before end of the WW II.

The final release date is still unknown, however, it is predicted to be not later than late Spring - Summer 2009.
