Fantastic. OMG, they shot the Steinway!

The game is looking good. Nice atmosphere. Great imrpovement over the original, but let's hope the gameplay is at least as good. Mafia was a superb game. There were some scenes that I remember today as being really impressive, esp. the final Museum set.

Thanks for the link! Can't wait for this game, it fell right out of my memory!

Also, nice avatar :) BDM is a great band!

Sure is \m/

But ya this game isn't given enough attention IMO, the first one was so sweet.

I have part 2, the 4disc box set. Only played a few mins of the game, and its kinda cool, however the cars are slow as hell. I know its early in the game, but they could of added some faster cars in the beginning of the game. Its a gta clone, but a very good one. Part II is on my list to buy ( um when the price drops to 29.99 )

Looking forward to this game also :)
I just hope it's as good as the first, including good wheel controller support. :respect:
The first Mafia was great with using a wheel and keyboard commands together. :rockout:
This is where the GTA series failed bigtime. Sure there are work arounds, but it's such a hassle to get working especially with my Thrustmaster wheel.:banghead:
Here's hoping :)
