Gameplay

The game is set in a fictional city called Empire Bay during the 1940's and 50's. The map is 10 square miles and has no restrictions from the very start. The game has over 50 different vehicles and a wide variety of weapons including the mob favorite Thompson M1928 (Tommy gun), as well as some WWII Weapons such as MP40, the M3 Grease Gun and the MG42.



Driving is fast and fun where you can go out of control at high speeds if your not careful. The handbrake is very effective when turning corners at high speeds or to avoid a crash into a police roadblock.



Taking cover is extremely important because you cant take many bullets before going down. 2K has done a better job with this cover system compared to the first mafia game. Before you had to crouch and just stand behind something, now you have a proper cover system where you press A to go into cover and wont come out until you press either A or B. This is handy incase you accidentally come out of cover, which would be bad since a few bullets and you'll be sleeping with the fishy's.




Graphics




The graphic are very good, fires and explosions look surprisingly real and the cut-scenes use the same in-game engine.



The perfect game for all Godfather, and mobster lovers

Rating: 9/10 Gonna be a bombshell...

One of those killing games When I first saw this, I thought it was a movie. Maybe I should add the trailer to JR's Youtube Channel.

this game looks some what like GTA to me. i probably would prefer playing gta .
