yeah, really. the screenshots of the city look really great! I wonder if they're using the RAGE engine from their rockstar cousins.

So the chances are good that it might get more than 4/10? ;-)

Looks good.

One concern I have was my PC won't handle this I reckon and last time the console versions were a joke compared to the PC. I hope that's not repeated!

I'm all for delays if they really do improve a game. Was looking forward to this, after being gutted with the poor reviews Godfather 2 got and sent it back. People have to fight hard for my money these days - FIGHT HARD, I SAY!

I hope the emphasis hasn't switched too much to the 'sandbox' because that was never what was brilliant about the original Mafia... and seriously guys, 4/10? :)

I've moaned twice already about the 4/10 on different articles today, so, in an incredible display of maturity I'm going to bite my tongue and not mention it again. You guys made a mistake and you know it. Gestalt has departed.

BUT SERIOUSLY, 4/10??!

This looks good. Love open world games, and love mafia movies. And it looks like they've paid a lot of attention to the details and getting the period look right. Good stuff.

Kind of funny that ppl make that gears of [insert word] joke so much, since Resi 4 was the first landmark game that die the over the shoulder thing.. or was there one even before it?

Ah, I remember when Mafia came out. Hot summer day. My friend had just built a swanky new computer, and Mafia put it through its paces. It really looked fantastic. Gameplay not so much.

I'm sure they can easily improve on it.

Mafia was the sort of game that justified sticking a 4/10 on the end of a review. So much promise, such faltering delivery.

I really hope that elevator lady says "What the hell are you doing?" in true Ghostbusters-cleaning-lady-styl when you're done shooting up her cleaning cart.

This game looks awesome! First one was a true classic as highlighted by retro sundays! I also think that people have to work hard for my money these days. However... I got the new PC gamer and interestiingly it shows that over its 200 issues, which im assuming is about 17 years(ish), the average review score has actually gone down. Maybe it's cos i'm a poor student though!

Yeah, and it makes me feel very old, I still have the first one with the cover-floppies kicking around somewhere.

Looking really good. I particularly like the sound of the direction and quality of the cut scenes. I just hope the console version is close to the PC version.
