A quick rundown of how my 10mins were spent in Mafia II demo (please note that I am on a crappy 8600GT and my 8800GT is gonna come back from RMA tomorrow) :-
So the demo starts out in Vitto's house. You can interact with almost anything. You can change his clothes, there are three rides in his garage and you can choose from them. The demo is limited to 10mins. So I go out of the house, got in a car and the first thing I did was to ram in a Police car. Sh1t! The cops are brutal in this game! I spent the rest 10mins driving around and killing cops. The shooting system kicks a$$! You can run around normally while aiming like in the previous Mafia and press the right click to zoom in (with any weapon). Pressing Lft+Ctrl makes Vito take cover behind the nearest object. The cover system is pretty simple yet effective. No blindfire.
The graphics are great but the thing is, the game ran like crap on my temp 8600GT. <25fps all the time and lagged like sh1t
. But still, the physics are great, the AI is kinda smart and the environment is detailed. Hope that my 8800GT atleast plays it on medium or otherwise I will HAVE to get another X360 ASAP coz can't get a new rig before April 2011
. The game's gonna rock though. Waiting eagerly for 24th August
