About Game: Mafia II is an open world action-adventure video game developed by 2K Czech and published by 2K Games. It was released in August 2010 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows; Mafia II: Director's Cut was released by Feral Interactive in December 2011. The game is the sequel to 2002's Mafia and the second game in the Mafia series. Set within the fictional Empire Bay (based on New York City, as well as aspects of Los Angeles and Chicago), the story follows a gangster and his efforts to climb through the ranks of the Mafia crime families.
The game is played from a third-person perspective and its world is navigated on-foot or by vehicle. Players control Vito Scaletta, a war veteran who becomes caught up with the Mafia when trying to pay back his father's debts. The player character's criminal activities may incite a response from law enforcement agencies, measured by a "wanted" system that governs the aggression of their response. Development began in 2003, soon after the release of the first Mafia game. At release, Mafia II received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise particularly directed at the story, though the linear open world design was criticized. Its successor, Mafia III, was released in 2016.
A version consisting of previous downloadable content, entitled Mafia II: Director's Cut, was released by Feral Interactive in December 2011.[4] Mafia II was followed by the sequel Mafia III in October 2016. To coincide with the remake of 2002's Mafia, Mafia II: Definitive Edition, a remastered version of the game developed by D3T, was released by 2K Games on May 19, 2020. It received mixed reviews, particularly for its bugs and glitches, which weren't present in the original game. This Definitive Edition was also bundled in the Mafia: Trilogy pack, released on 25 September 2020.
Gameplay: The game is set in the 1940s–early 1950s era of Empire Bay, a fictional city based on New York City. There are 50 vehicles in the game as well as licensed music from the era. Depending on the weather during the course of the game, vehicles are handled differently. For example, during the early chapters in winter, vehicles are more likely to slip on the road due to the ice. Many firearms from the previous game return, such as the Thompson submachine gun and Colt 1911, as well as a pump-action shotgun. New World War II–era weapons, the MG 42 and the Beretta Model 38, also appear in the game.
A map is included as in the original Mafia game, but the checkpoint system has been completely overhauled. New controls include a cover system that allows the player to take cover behind objects and shoot enemies, rather than just entering an arbitrary crouch pose behind them. This feature provides tactical support against enemies and has become a crucial technique of the genre.
Setting: Set nearly a decade after the first game, Mafia II takes place between two distinct time periods—the mid-1940s, and the early 1950s—within the fictional American city of Empire Bay; the game's main story also includes an unnamed town within Sicily during the earlier time period, while the DLCs take place during the latter time period.
Development: Preliminary work on Mafia II began in 2004; the work on the script began in 2003. Originally intended for a PlayStation 2 and Xbox release, the game was moved to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2005, following difficulties with the developer of the game engine. It was officially revealed in August 2007 at the Leipzig Games Convention. A playable version of the game was achieved in 2007 or 2008. Mafia II was expected to release in late 2009, but was delayed until its release in August 2010.
Release: Mafia II was released on 24 August 2010 in North America, 26 August in Australia, and 27 August internationally. On 22 August 2015, digital sales of the PC version of Mafia II were suspended on Steam and other digital retailers for unexplained reasons. The game was restored to Steam on 1 June 2016.
Definitive Edition: A remastered version of Mafia II with updated graphics titled Mafia II: Definitive Edition was released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 19 May 2020. The owners of the original Steam version had their copy of the game updated to Definitive Edition at no additional cost. The Definitive Edition, which includes all of the story expansion and style packs, was developed by D3T. The Definitive Edition was later included in the Mafia: Trilogy pack, which was released on 25 September 2020 and also includes a remake of the first game, titled Mafia: Definitive Edition, and a version of Mafia III including all story expansion packs.
