Mafia II Definitive Edition GOG CD Key
Mafia II for PC, X360 and PS3 is a continuation of the gangster action game Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, developed in 2002 by the Czech studio Illusion Softworks. The same development team is responsible for the creation of the game, which in 2008, after being taken over by Take-Two Interactive, operates under the new name 2K Czech. In addition to both installments of the Mafia series, the team has also made two well-known series of tactical shooters Hidden and Dangerous and Vietcong.In terms of the story told, Mafia II retains the plot with the first installment of the series (including numerous flavors and references), but this time the action takes place several years after the events described there (turn of the 40s and 50s), and during the game we take over control of a completely new hero. In the game we play the role of a certain Vittorio Scaletti, who in 1945 ends his military service and returns to his hometown of Empire Bay. Together with his old friend Joe Barbaro, our protagonist tries to find himself in a new reality in which the pinnacle of dreams is a stable job for starvation at the nearby docks. Our hero, however, does not intend to follow in the footsteps of his peers and, wishing to ensure a decent life for himself, slowly enters the path of crime, and as the game progresses, he becomes a full member of the influential, local mafia family.The gameplay mechanics in Mafia II are almost in all aspects an extension of the ideas used in the predecessor that was published eight years earlier. The place of action here is again a city with an open structure of about 10 square miles - the monumental Empire Bay, which is in fact quite a loose, virtual adaptation of New York (in the game we meet, among others, such characteristic buildings as the Empire State Building or the bridge Brooklyn). The city is divided into several different districts, including Little Italy, Chinatown, an industrial or port district, a district of the rich, as well as slums). As in the original, the axis of the game is a fairly linear storyline, which should take a total of about 10-15 hours to complete. Subsequent tasks are quite varied, offering, among others spectacular skirmishes with members of rival mafia families, car rides during which we have to follow someone or run away from the police, and even challenges involving the necessity to act from hiding. However, the player is not forced to follow the plot path and in the course of the game can also devote himself to numerous side plots and additional activities.Compared to the first installment of the series, Mafia II offers much greater freedom of action and the possibility of unhindered exploration of the city around us, which lives its own life and tempts with a large number of not entirely legal attractions. While playing, we can steal vehicles (by breaking glass or a bit more subtly), choosing from over 50 models modeled on real brands, and then improving and modifying them in the workshop. In Empire Bay, we will also find a lot of shops where we can buy clothes, eat or get new weapons. Our protagonist has also gained a range of new skills and now he can, for example, fist with more blows, hide behind various covers, and jump over obstacles. As the action of the game takes place a bit later than the events of the first Mafia, we are also accompanied by slightly different, even more cruel realities, as well as a completely different city style and much faster cars.
