Anyone else looking forward to this?

Think I'll be getting this on the Xbox rather than the PC as I can see myself spending hours on the sofa playing it!

 

[JackoR26]

If its anything like the last one it will be great :approve:

It did take a while to get started in the last game with the taxi runs at the beginning but after that it just got better and better.

 

[Alex H]

Reminds me of the Godfather series of games, could have been so much better than they were. Will probably give it a rent still.

 

[richo]

Had the first Mafia on PC and loved it - was always good fun with the speedo and the cops chasing you for speeding.

Hope this lives upto expectation, I wasn't so keen on Godfather it became a bit tedious.

 

[H182]

Should be good, enjoyed playing the first one. PC FTW though.

That's where I gave up with it. I should have progressed more on it, tbh...

[Spiezels]

Looks sweet.

 

[iain187]

mafia was amazing, will have to try the console demo if there is one to see what i buy it for though... been waiting ages for this!!!

 

[AK]

Never played the first one

 

[dunganick]

The first one is one of a very small number of games i have actually completed. Looks pretty cool.

 

[Cookie]

I played the first one again all the way through from the beginning a little while ago

Looking forward to this!

 

[Griff]

Demo now confirmed for August 10th on all platforms

 

[RoryW]

I've been waiting since the 1st for this. One of my all-time favourite games tbh.

What's the difference between normal and special edition? Same price at game but no info on why? Obviously order the special

Looks great this, I loved the first one. The Godfather after that I thought was shite. Should look good in HD too with the 30's city skyline etc.

 

[JoeyD]

The Demo is up for this now. Haven't played it yet, but from what I've seen, the game looks really great IMO!

 

[Christopher]

It's not on Live yet. The link's there, but the demo isn't.

:S

 

[JoeyD]

You have to go to "all downloads" when it takes you to the Mafia 2 screen. Just search around, it's definitely on there

 

[Scutch]

Will check dis out later, innit.

 

[AK]

Was just about to ask about a demo, good times.


Need a new game.. Getting bored of COD and blur..

 

[Scutch]

You get 10 minutes of the demo, apparently.

 

[JoeyD]

You get to drive about aimlessly for 10 minutes, then you can do the mission. It's alright tbh, get to go to the car garage & customise your car, go to the clothes shop etc.

 

[Christopher]

Downloading now.

 

[Scutch]

You can also pick up dirty mags.

Score.

 

[Darren S]

Out on Steam for us PC'ers as well.

[oska]

Awesome, just when I'm skint again.

 

[Griff]

Awesome, just when I'm skint again.

It's only the demo. The game isn't out for a fortnight.

There's a "patch" out to remove the time limit

 

[JoeyD]

^ I'm guessing that's just for PC?

 

[Scutch]

Few pics from the PC version :

There's a Playboy magazine you can browse through in the house.

PS3 version is playstation plus only

Anyone got a download link for the PC version?

Dont really want steam, but have found the patch to remove the 10 minute limit

 

[RoryW]

Ps3 version is out tomorrow unless you have psn+ in which case you'll have it today.

You can also mod the xbox version for unlimited time if you're any good with a hex editor
