2K Games had some new screenshots waiting in my inbox for their upcoming game, Mafia II. I never got around to playing the first one but I heard a lot of good things about it so I have my eye on the sequel. It’s being developed by 2K’s new studio in Europe, 2K Czech. Expanding upon the original hit that captivated more than two million gamers, 2K Czech takes players deeper into the Mafia with a mature and compelling narrative that will immerse players like never before.
Screenshots: Mafia II
Mafia II provides a beautifully crafted look into the dark and unforgiving world of the Mob. Drawing on the experience they garnered from working on the critically acclaimed Mafia and Hidden & Dangerous series, 2K Czech’s look at Mob life in the 1950s will immerse gamers in the seedy criminal underworld that makes up Mafia II.
You ready to get really gangsta with Mafia II? If it keeps impressing me like this, then I’ll be there on release day to pick it up.

The first one you post there looks good… but cartoony. The colors are a bit too “RED, BLUE.” I like the navy blue, black, yellow, and white/ivory cars in the other pictures. Much more believable.
Character models don’t impress, but the environments… wow - I could wander around in that city all day and find things to look at.
I think this game would do awesome with some creative in game advertising… classic style coca-cola logos, etc… it’d be a nice touch.

When I first played Mafia on PC (sadly, the xbox port was awful) it became my favorite game ever, for a while. Really it was that good
This does look great imho, awesome screens! Wow I can’t wait.

Look good, I really liked the first trailer they put out last year of Mafia 2.
