Mafia II<\/em><\/strong> is currently in development by 2K Czech, the same creative team behind the award-winning, genre-defining Mafia\u00ae<\/em><\/strong>, which captivated millions of gamers around the world.<\/p>\n Through a compelling narrative, Mafia II<\/em><\/strong> transports gamers into the dark and unforgiving world of the Mafia.

Players will easily become immersed in the game\u2019s cinematic Hollywood-style experience with strong, believable characters in a living, breathing metropolis. By fusing high-octane gunplay with white-knuckle driving and an engaging narrative, Mafia II<\/em><\/strong> looks to be the industry\u2019s most compelling Mafia title to date. According to IGN.com, <\/em>\u201cMafia II <\/em><\/strong>is definitely at the top of our most wanted lists.\u201d<\/p>\n Born the son of a poor immigrant, Vito is a beaten down Italian-American who is trying to escape the life of poverty that consumed his childhood. Vito, along with his lifelong friend, Joe, will descend into the world of organized crime. Looking to escape the life of hardship that his father led, Vito dreams about becoming a \u201cmade man,\u201d and together with Joe, will work to prove themselves to the Mafia as they try to make their names on the streets. However, the two quickly realize that life as a wise guy isn\u2019t quite as glamorous as it seems.<\/p>\n Mafia II <\/em><\/strong>is rated MA 15+ and R18+, in Australia and New Zealand respectively.
