Interesting impressions of the E3 demo appeared on http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/. Because demo contains only one mission – “The Buzzsaw”, we can look forward to further look at this mission.
A couple of months ago we brought you lots of information about 2K Czech’s forthcoming Mafia II. A new mission has been demoed at E3, this time one set near the beginning of the game in February 1945, so it’s time to tell you some more. (You can see some clips of it in the trailer released this week.) The war’s still raging, and Vito Scalleta was recently back from Europe, flat broke, looking to get himself some well paid work. Hello the mob. By the start of this mission, called The Buzzsaw, Vito’s already met his buddy Joe, along with Italian immigrant Henry, both acting as his wingmen. It’s time to go kill the Fat Man. When not time-sensitive, starting a mission doesn’t prevent your exploring Mafia’s sandbox world. Like the original, Empire Bay can be driven around freely if you choose to make a diversion on the way to your task. Except this time there’s a lot more to do on your travels. With around one hundred interior locations to find, poke around, and shop in, and all manner of AI pedestrians playing out their own lives, it’s a much more vibrant city. But of course, the focus remains on the story. The initial task in The Buzzsaw is to take out an individual known as The Fat Man. He’s running an illegal distillery, which wouldn’t be a problem you’d care aboutwere he not failing to make his payments to your ‘family’. The three of you head in to teach him a life lesson.
