As promised the Mafia II demo should now be available on all three platforms, the PC demo is available via Steam only. The finished game is due in stores in exactly 2 weeks time in the US and a few days later in Europe.

While the game spans two eras, the Mafia II demo invites gamers to dive into the "Buzzsaw" level, which takes place during the summer of the '50s – a time considered the "Birth of Cool", and with it, rock 'n’ roll, hot rods, and rebellious attitudes. In the demo, Vito Scaletta and his buddies, Joe and Henry, are sent to take out a mobster known as "The Fat Man". This mission showcases vibrant edge-of-your-seat action, era-evoking cars, memorable characters and a snapshot of the expansive city of Empire Bay in this colorful era.

Mafia II centres around Vito Scaletta, who has started to make a name for himself on the streets of Empire Bay. He’s someone who can be trusted to get the job done. Together with his buddy Joe, he is working to prove himself to the Mafia, a move which escalates to crimes that generate bigger rewards, bigger status, and bigger consequences.
