After seeing numerous developer demos for the game over the past 1.5 years, I was finally about to get hands on with Mafia II at E3. The level we saw, early in the game’s timeline, has you taking out a rival Made Man in a warehouse with two other goons at your side (a level I’ve seen demoed twice, but was now able to play myself). Going on the strong foundation of the first Mafia and the open-world gangster genre, Mafia II looks to be a solid single player title when it drops this August, albeit with some issues.
If you’re a super cool PC gamer with the latest and greatest, you might be interested to hear that Mafia II will support NVIDIA’s 3D Vision technology on PC along with PhysX support on all platforms. Hope you’ve been saving up your money.
While Mafia II surely isn’t the first game to support 3D technology, it’s certainly one of higher profile titles of the summer to come out of the screen and assault your face. Based on what we’ve seen so far of the game in a few developer demos, it looks be a pretty damn good classic mobster game.
As for me, I’ll be playing a console version of Mafia II. I run my life on Mac and, even if I was a PC guy, I don’t see much reason at this point to drop hundreds of ducats on a 3D video card, 3D monitor, and 3D glasses. There are quite a few other things I can justify buying before going 3D. How about you?
It’s been a long wait for Mafia II and my interest is beginning to fade. Then I see cool developer diaries for the game and remember just why I love old gangster movies and games about them. I have no doubts this is going to play well and the story will be great – I just want the damn game in my hands. With E3 right around the corner, I have a feeling that might happen fairly soon…
