Mafia II

Mafia II is a video game that consists of 3 releases


Mafia II is an upcoming Third-Person Shooter-mob game set in an open-world environment, it keeps the mob underworld of the original "Mafia" game.

Overview

The player character is Vito, a soldier returning from World War 2 to Empire City. Vito and his friend Joe Barbaro begin working in the criminal underworld of Empire City upon Vito’s return. The story focuses on Vito and Joe’s friendship and life as part of the mafia. Mafia II plans to be much darker and less romantic than the first game. The game will be set in the 1940s and 50s in Empire City, a city inspired by New York and San Francisco.

Gameplay

The game takes place in 10 Sq. Mi. of open-ended environments and the player can traverse all the scenary without any problem as long as he/she plays on it, unlike any other "Sandbox" open-ended games like GTA or Saints Row, in Mafia II, the player is supposed to obey various codes including Traffic Laws and trespassing restrictions; this means that the player needs to stop behind the red traffic lights, avoid reckless driving and stay out of restricted areas. In this way you can be disobedient but expect the cops to cause you trouble.

Mafia II has a dynamic "Newspaper system" which allows the player to follow the latest news all the time, the news and their contents are directly related to player’s behavior and his/her choices made during the gameplay.

Vehicles play a very major role in Mafia II.

Mafia II was meant to approach realism as much as possible and as a result Money plays a major role in this game, unlike games like GTA IV you can NOT easily possess cars or weapons by just stealing them, in fact the game forces you to be as low profile as possible for the sake of Crime family.

In Mafia II, the players will have their own cars and motorcycles with their specific registration plate which can be illegally customized, this means you will not race through the city stealing and wrecking one car after another and instead you will have to be more cautious about your car, its condition, its legal history and even its gasoline. In this game vehicles will run out of fuel and therefore the player will have to refill the car from time to time, you can also buy various foods and drinks such as hamburgers and coffee via restaurants scattered about the city, purchasable safe houses are to save your game progression and Empire Automobile Shop is there to present you with numerous services including replacing the engine, enhancing the power and speed of the cars and so on, you will also able to change your look by purchasing new outfits, buy the best clothes and hail a taxi all the time, the afore-mentioned features further increase the necessity of earning as much money as possible which is not as easy as you might think.
