The best way to think about Mafia II is to think of it less as a 'sandbox' and more like a linear third person action game with an open-world backdrop. The gameplay is largely derived from large choreographed set-piece missions rather than a gameplay that emerges from a 'sandbox' environment.

We see our city less like a sandbox, and more like a context for the story. -The player 'becomes' Vito Scaletta. This way, when we move from gameplay to story and back again the whole experience feels consistent, the player has been acting like Vito Scaletta the whole time. We think that playing a mobster is fun, so I guess that this has been at the heart of our design philosophy.

The first verdict on 2K's Mafia II is in - and PC Zone's view is that, despite some annoying flaws, it's still a winner.

The mag gives the Mafia title 80% in its new October (yes, bloody October) issue - which is with subscribers now.

The game's major drawback, says Zone, is that it's an 'extremely linear driver and shooter'.

However, if you can get over that rather restrictive fact, there's plenty to enjoy for those nostalgic for the Cosa Nostra's days of US dominance.

The mag says that the dialogue is 'fine, and extremely well acted', adding that driving, 'as you'd expect from the former Illusion Software [2K Czech], is great'.

It continues: 'The collection of cars is great too - all timely models that damage so gently that you'll try to take care of them.'

All aspects of the game are covered in Zone's spectacular seven-page review - with more praise coming for the game's weapons and action sequences, despite a slightly 'cold' storyline.

It adds: 'Mafia II is 10 hours of driving, story and extremely competent gun action. Running at top specs, it looks stunning, and if there was a soundtrack album, I'd buy myself a copy.'
