PC Game Analysis : Mafia II PC Game 2010

Experience the criminal underworld in a deep and full of detail

This title is the highly anticipated sequel to Mafia, left in 2002 for the PC and in 2004 on the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox. Mafia II is being developed by 2K Czech, formerly known as Illusion Softworks, the same studio that developed the original game, so in theory we should receive much more complete experience and improved a title which in itself was quite good in his time , introducing unusual elements then, starting with the size of the city itself, the fields and roads surroundings. Another point in favor of that game is the realism that had, as even stay within the rules of civility and transit gave better results than simply trying to drive like maniac.

In this new history will take place in a period of ten years between 1945 and 1955, and will revolve around Vitto Scaletta, a son of Sicilian immigrants who just returned from a violent military campaign during World War II, having enlisted the army to avoid jail after a failed robbery. The interesting thing is that after this strange method of avoiding prison, Vitto return to a life of crime, violence and murder, but also of easy money, women and glamor associated with the murder of innocent citizens with impunity and attentive to their civic responsibilities and legal. The reigning underworld in Empire Bay, the city in which the plot unfolds, consists of three main families: the Merciful, the Falcone and Vinci. This division of powers which will serve as fuel for the inevitable bloodbath that will take place, because, well, we are talking about the American Mafia.

As the gaming world, Mafia II 2010 PC Game will have a map of more than 25.9 km ² which will be fully open from the beginning, no closed bridges in this title. An attractive element is that the city will not be a static, as their inhabitants, fashion, cars, advertising and the environment in general will evolve to reflect the difference between the 1940 and 1950. Obviously this feature include the music of the period, providing a soundtrack that includes some of the most influential singers, musicians and emblematic of those times.

In addition, Playboy will offer over 50 covers and images of heart in those days because what is respected mafioso a day goes by without your favorite entertainment publication? All this with the purpose to increase the aura of realism and create a much more immersive experience, though as a cultural figure, I have to say that Playboy was first published in 1953, so we expect only to see it in the last two years of adventure .

Another thing that will help the immersion with the game environment involves the way that you interact with things, since the game gives you the option of using two buttons, one of which manifest a normal action and the other will unleash a violent activity. For example, if you are extorting money from a baker and it does not want to cooperate with your business ingenious system, you will have the option to speak with and explain calmly that you need to use their legs, but also have the option to clobber and show that it is not good to appeal to your dark and violent nature.

As to combat Mafia II PC Game 2010 will offer a wide variety of weapons at the time, unable to miss the famous Tommy Gun and the sawed-off shotgun, known as the Sicilian lupara between common. But the shooting in this game will not be focused on running as the last action hero of Empire Bay and firing right and left as if no tomorrow and the bullets grow on trees. From the outset the game features a cover system, which enables you to strategically place you behind objects that present a greater resistance to bullets, say, your stomach and from there you can unleash a hell of lead on your hapless victims, Clearly, if you must learn to overcome quickly outflank and attack your enemies on the sides.

2K Czech has said will not be fighting massive battles, as we are talking about the mafia, not the Korean War, and would do well to remember that although the death toll became hugely during periods of violence, these accumulated over a period of time, not in a super epic carnage on the docks of the city, for example, and this is reflected in the gameplay of the game.

So now you know, if you’re into sandbox games without geographical restrictions and enjoy the glamor that presents the golden period of the Mafia in the United States, also enjoy an interactive experience immersive, deep and well maintained with details, Mafia II could prove what he had been waiting for. But it also worth mentioning that the game does not offer any multiplayer option, either cooperative or deathmatch, either way this title will be hitting the windows of your favorite store this coming August 24 2010.
