  I'm constantly suprised by how good the graphics are, I should really get used to all this next-gen stuff. .___.
  
  The screen where he's getting in the cab looks good. They seem to have worked on everything; the cars, citizens, background etc rather than focusing on a few things in particular.

I've never heard of this game or it's prequel.

But, judging by StarJet's comment, it must be pretty good.

  You've never heard of 'Mafia'?
  
  Where have you been? I'll admit it wasn't the best game ever, but it was good.

    Yeah, it wasn't the best, but was one of the best games of the time. I just loved Free Ride Extreme.

Only 10sq miles of city though.. Hmm, doesn't sound like much. Graphics are amazing though.

  That is a fair amount of space though >_>
  
  Oblivion is supposedly about 16 miles Square, and it is freakin' huge.
  
  10 Square miles is a decent sized city, I'm sure.

  Then you probably haven't played the first one. It wasn't much of a hyped game, but it was a pretty good one, nevertheless. Much like GTA. Who knows? Maybe R* got some ideas from Mafia.

I've never seen the first game either.

Hasn't there already been a Mafia 2 trailer out on Xbox Live though?
