The rest of the greasers get into a car and we give chase. Joe is having none of it, and as the leader of the gang walks up to him, he cuts the conversation short by simply shooting him in the face. They claim we operate on their turf and throw a couple of molotov cocktails our way. A bunch of "greasers", local hooligans, interrupt our little business venture. But fortunately this tedious, almost semi-legal work, is soon interrupted.
#MAFIA 2 DEMO PLAYBOY PICTURE LOCATIONS MANUAL#
It turns out Joe is a bit of a lazy bastards and he wants me to do some manual labour handing out boxes of cigarettes to smokers who don't care much about where they get their smokes from. I make my way to Joe's location cautiously while I try to obey the traffic rules. However, if you happen to draw your gun and do a bit of shooting, you better be ready to make a run for it if there is a cop in the vicinity.

In the demo, the police system was turned down low, but it won't be as aggressive as in the original Mafia, and you won't be penalised to harshly for minor offences (such as running a red light or bumping into a fender or two). a bit of target practise before taking on the greasers. Empire Bay serves as more of a living backdrop to the linear story of Vito's journey into a life of crime, than a sandbox where you can do what you please. In fact, what was originally planned as optional side missions, have been incorporated into the main storyline. If you are unfamiliar with the Mafia experience you may assume that the city is a bit like Liberty City, but there really isn't much to be experienced outside of the main story line. You get to pick an outfit and chose what car to get into to. Joe needs help selling cigarettes off the back of a truck, and Vito starts out in his apartment. The hands-on demo features an edited version of a mission called "Wild Ones" a few hours into Vito's journey. The music that plays on the radio, the small intermissions with news bulletins and such, also add a layer of authenticity and sometimes a bit of comic relief. It has an authentic feel, or at the very least it's coherent with the stereotypical image of that era that I'm accustomed to.

Shops, signs, cars, the people and what they wear. One can really tell that 2K Czech have taken their time to recreate an American city from the 1940's and 1950's down to the smallest detail. Picking your wardrobe is key to making it as a made man.Įmpire Bay is about twice the size of the city in the original Mafia, and it is beautiful to behold.
