For fans of the original Mafia game, having to wait an incredible eight years for a sequel must’ve been tough. But as we found out in our review, the wait might be forgotten as the game is quite good. It doesn’t feature near as much depth as say, Grand Theft Auto IV, but it does a masterful job of bringing you back to the 1940’s and letting you experience the Mafia lifestyle.

Manual Run-through: Because this game doesn’t allow us to save a game in the middle of a level, we chose to use chapter 7, “In Loving Memory…”, to do our runthrough. That chapter begins us on a street corner with many people around, and from there, we run to our garage, get in our car, and speed out to the street. Our path ultimately leads us to the park, and takes close to two minutes to accomplish.

Mafia II exhibits quite different increases compared to the last couple of games. The gains are still good, at around +50%, at both 1680 and 1920, but again, it’s proven that at ultra-high resolutions, like the 2560×1600 one we test at, we can really see the benefits of multiple graphics cards. There, we saw an increase of +83%.
