Awesome trailer, I almost forgot all about Mafia 2 with all the games I've been trying to keep track of.

Come on. Does anyone still care about the Mafia? Hopefully the characters are more than just a bunch of Godfather and Goodfellas cliches. This trailer smashes those hopes, though.

Omg... Yeah, I played the first one. That game was so damn boring and frustrating. I don't care if those cars were supposed to handle realistically, driving them was a fucking punishment. Even stealing that race car thing was a let-down. I can see how people like it, though. I, personally, have seen way too many mafia-themed movies, so anything like this is just gonna seem like a blatant parody, a rip-off, or a simple cash-in. That is... unless the game's actually good. Hasn't happened yet, though.

Loved the FIrst mafia Game, hope this is good too. Any one notice that we are having alot of retro open word games. We had Saboteur now we have Mafia 2 then Maybe next year LA Noire. I love the period myself but this seems just an excuse not try new things in these types of games. Change the setting and hope nobody notices it's the same game, with graphics++.

Those of you who judged the first game by the console ports, you are judging a game that is nothing compared to what the PC version is.  The PC version of Mafia is still the best game I've ever played. The port to the consoles was done poorly, but judging the ports would be like judging Avatar viewing it on a Tube TV.

If you played the first one on consoles it wasn't very good.  It first came out on PC and was just all around better.  The controls were better, it ran smoother and made some of those later missions a lot more fun and a lot less frustrating.

I noticed that, too. It looks incredible and gorgeous, but it took me right back to the firefights of the original Mafia. Frankly, this has been my most anticipated game since the first was released. Couldn't be any more hyped. And if I have to build a gaming PC to experience the best version (though I suspect they'll all play the same, unlike last time), I'll do it.

Looks so good. The first one kicked ass. 
 
...Maybe it's just me, but did anyone find Paulie to have a similar character to that of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas? Lovable, yet can turn into a total badass when it's called for.

Man, first mafia was one of the best open world games I've played. Sadly, I'm not really looking forward to this anymore. Don't know why. I'll definitely buy it when it comes out, so I hope it will be as good as the original.

Damn, the editing of this trailer was neat. If the rest of the game can hold up to that, its an instant buy.

As much as I really loved the first game and really looking forward to this sequel, I found this trailer a bit letdown since it really brought forward all the mob-flick and mafia clichés; which I found the first game managed to somehwat avoid and really stand on it's own two feet,. I'm afraid this time around it seems like the game perhaps really will step in all the clichés and feel very unoriginal. 
 
But all this I only judge from this very very short trailer, which just tries to grab ones attention and perhaps does not represent the story very good overall.
