PLAY MAFIA 2 DEMO WITHOUT STEAM SKIN

Instead, our intrepid anti-hero decides to kill the goons. But while you could use stealth and patience, that doesn't make for much excitement. Again, you can take this more than one way. The only catch is that there are guards on the roof. You plant a bomb under a table and make your way towards the roof, where you'll access a window washer's platform to set the detonator and blow the bomb. While it would seem reasonable to kick in a door and shoot the target in the face, Joe has other ideas. This makes the ascension to the top of the building much easier. And one option, which was shown to us, was to secure disguises and pose as janitors.

Just as in the original Mafia, there's more than one way to skin a fat cat. Leaving Martin to watch the car, Vito and Joe make their way inside.

This fat cat is at the top of the Empire Arms high rise and you'll need to find a way in. The mission demoed, 'Room Service,' sees Vito, Joe and youngster Martin ordered to take out a mob boss, Clemente. Rather than follow the day-to-day events of a mobster's life, Mafia II focuses on the key moments-the big days-in Vito's life, so you'll be skipping forward in time quite a bit, exploring his rise from flunkie to made man. One just wants to get the job done, the other wants to do it with a bang. That puts him at odds, sometimes, with his partner and good buddy Joe who does it all for the love of fame. Mafia II is set in the '40s and '50s and follows Vito, an up-and-coming wiseguy who's in it to help his family. The original Mafia focused on the classic bootlegging days of the mob in the '30s. You can't see it from a screenshot, but that glass shatters realistically. Oh yeah, PC fans can be excited too, it is, after all, coming out for your personal computing pleasure.

If our brief demo of Mafia II is any indication, console gamers shouldn't be worried and fans of actions games should be excited. It's a tall task for 2K Games to drum up excitement for a sequel to a seven-year-old game being developed more for console audiences than its PC fanbase.
