Mafia 2 Screenshots Take a Walk on the Mundane Side

by Nick Breckon, May 12, 2009 5:09pm PDT

One of the many fine details that make up the world of Mafia II can be seen in the bottom left image of this latest batch from developer 2K Czech. As mentioned in our interview, the backdrop of the game is populated with digital city-dwellers casually living out their lives in the mishmash of a 1940s town. They shine shoes, sell newspapers--and occasionally get run over by a mobster on the run.

Mafia 2 arrives on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this fall.

What's the bet you see that same guy cleaning the shoes of the same other guy a few dozen times throughout the city.
BUT, Mafia was a greatly underappreciated game, very atmospheric, great plotline, you really cared for the charactors and when one of them died towards the end, I was actually sad!
The unlockable Extreme missions were a hoot too! Drive like a MANIAC across town to rescue a fair maiden (actually prositiute!) from a sea monster. Drive this truck full of explosives but don't slow down below 50 miles an hour...tough but fun things like that.
I must have played it through a fair few times...
I'll go out and pay actual real money for this!

Hmm, I really liked Mafia, but I think the main complaint I had (besides the cars and the weird physics) was that the world was pretty cold and boring. I hope 2 helps with that a little, but it doesn't look too promising. I can't really put my finger on exactly what I'm talking about.... The world just didn't feel alive, it felt really wooden I guess.
