Mafia II is a third-person action-adventure video game, the sequel to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. It is being developed by 2K Czech, previously known as Illusion Softworks, and will be published by 2K Games. The game is set from 1945 to 1955 in Empire Bay (the name is a reference to New York's state nickname "The Empire State"), a fictional city based on San Francisco and New York City, with influences from Chicago and Detroit. The game will feature a completely open-ended game map of 10 square miles. No restrictions are included from the start of the game. There will also be around 50 vehicles in the game, as well as licensed music from the era.
Many firearms from the previous game will make a return, for example the Thompson submachine gun, the Colt 1911 and a pump-action shotgun. As seen in screenshots, new WWII-era weapons like the MP 40, the M3 submachine gun, and the Beretta Model 38 will make an appearance in the game as well as the MG 42.
Interacting with objects in the environment involves two action buttons- a standard action and a "violent" action (for example, when stealing a car, the player may choose to either pick its lock or break the window glass), used in context-sensitive situations. A map will be included as in the original Mafia game. The checkpoint system has been completely overhauled. New controls include a cover system that allows the player to hide behind objects (such as generators, walls and large crates) to shoot enemies, rather than just using a crouch while behind an object. Flanking may be a large part of the combat.
It has been stated by 2K Czech that the game's cutscenes are created by the game engine, in real-time, rather than pre-rendered cutscenes.

and 1 virtual rating

7.0
Play in a rich and beautiful world that -- like the experience it provides -- is awfully hollow.

8.5
Mafia II's exciting action and uncompromising mob story make for an impressive and violent adventure.

6.0
This decent tale of ascension through the mob ranks feels a little outdated as an actual video game.

6.9
Live a life of crime, passion, corruption, and limitations in Mafia II.

Virtual ratings prevent games with a small number of positive reviews from dominating the top of our rankings. See our FAQ.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception - Reviews

9.5
based on 7 top critics

9.0
There’s an interesting ‘behind the scenes’ video on the Uncharted 3 disk that, amongst other things, tells the owner of said disk that the series’ push towards Hollywood-style action thrills has been an evolution. Apparently, Nathan Drake hasn’t always been totally about massive explosions and improbable chaos. I know! I couldn’t believe it either!

10.0
Nathan Drake's latest journey is a treasure unto itself.

10.0
Nathan Drake's new adventure doesn't rewrite the book like his last one did, but damn if it's not a great action game anyway.

9.2
Developer Naughty Dog shows that they're still masters of their craft.

9.5
Uncharted 3 Review: Another Epic Chapter

10.0
Treasure hunter Nathan Drake's outstanding new adventure isn't just the best game in the Uncharted series -- it's a must-own, and a definite contender for Game of the Year.

9.0
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception continues where its predecessor left off, delivering a memorable adventure that pleases on all fronts.
