	The new game, cleverly called Mafia 2, is a sequel to the 2002 mobster-orientated action game also developed by Illusion. Mafia 2 will again be set in the 1940's era and will again be about sandbox gangster action - with the publisher already boasting that the game will be “packed with both behind-the-wheel and on-foot action...fusing high octane gunplay with white knuckle driving and an engaging narrative.” The game is set to launch on PC, where the previous title did quite well, and an as yet unspecified next-gen console. Our bet is on the PlayStation 3, but it's just a hunch. “As the original Mafia was a big success, we are excited to leverage the power of next generation console technology to create an all-new experience, while embracing the elements that resonated with the previous game’s fans,” said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K, in a press statement. “The ‘wow’ factor of Mafia 2 is definitely the benchmark-setting visual quality and action that you expect to see only in Hollywood movies.”

I didn't realize how much people liked the original. It's really cheap on Amazon so I might give it a spin

Definatly give it a spin. The gameplay is pretty good but the story and enviroment are out of this world.

Mafia has one of the best stories I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing through a video game.

I'm very psyched about Mafia 2 as well

Woo yeah! High speed chases at a whopping 45 mph!!

Not that big of a fan though.

Man on the original the gameplay was sh*t, performance was terrible, and the graphics were boring and the scenery repetitive.

Yet I absolutely fu*king loved it. It just had such a ...I dunno... good feel to it. It's one of those games that I look back on with fond memories. Story was indeed awesome.
