Clemente is on the run and you have to chase him down. Even after shooting your way to the parking garage, things aren't over. Like when you're shooting some bodyguards and Joe grabs a dude and throws him out the window. He can hold his own in a fight and there are scripted moments throughout that you'll catch out of the corner of your eye. There is no co-op (or multiplayer of any kind), but at least Joe's AI is solid. One of the rooms had some fancy glass paneling which chipped and shattered realistically. Take cover behind a bar and the bullets flying over your head will be shattering expensive bottles of champagne behind you. And we don't just mean little chips in the wall. Pretty much everything in the environment can be shot to hell. Here's where things get a tad more interesting. It also wrecks your easy way out, forcing you and Joe to go back inside and fight your way out. One that somehow doesn't kill your intended target (he was taking a crap). The explosions takes out half the floor of the hotel in a glorious fireball. Of course, this isn't any tiny little bomb that blows up a table. You still have to blow Clemente up and escape. Once you clear the roof and get to your position, things aren't over. That's not to say it isn't exciting, but until we get our hands on Mafia II, it's hard to say that it's going to be that different of an experience from other recent action titles. There's a cover system, regenerative health and plenty of swear-filled quips from every character on screen. This is a third-person shooter and it looks pretty much like what has become the norm for these types of games. This leads to an all-out firefight on the rooftop and showcases some of the action elements of Mafia II. 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.
