Mafia II is a third-person action-adventure video game, the sequel to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. It is developed by 2K Czech, previously known as Illusion Softworks, and is published by 2K Games.Originally announced in August 2007 at the Leipzig Games Convention, it was released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in August 2010.
The game is set in 1940s and 1950s era Empire Bay (the name is a reference to New York's state nickname “The Empire State”) a fictional city based on New York City, with influences from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Detroit. The game features a map of 10 square miles with no restrictions from the start of the game.There are 30-40 vehicles in the game (45 with DLC) as well as licensed music from the era.
Many firearms from the previous return, such as the Thompson submachine gun, the Colt 1911 and a pump-action shotgun. New WWII-era weapons like the MP 40, the M3 submachine gun, the MG 42 and the Beretta Model 38 also appear in the game.
It has been stated by 2K Czech that the game's cut scenes are created by the game engine, in real-time, rather than pre-rendered cutscenes. For example if the player is riding in a car and a cut scene starts, the player will be driving the same car and if the car is damaged, that will appear in the cut scene.
Mafia II proved to be a challenge for our review sample. We maintained an average of 30 FPS which is not bad at all but there were several areas which fall below our sweet spot of 30 FPS as indicated in our Min FPS graph.
What a lovely looking little board that is. very attractive and great implementation. Awesome to see you guys reviewing more products just outside the UK viewpoint
Well this came out of the blue! I have heard a few good things about these boards and deservedly so by the looks of it. seems like a radical design well done. Nice review Steve, enjoyed reading this one.
I will be surprised if anyone in europe know this company, seem to be US/Canada only.
I concur with other people though this is a great looking little card at a fantastic price. what are the noise levels like ?
Radical design ! love the GTX460s glad to see KG aint giving up reviewing em
What is their warranty system like in Canada Steve? big deal for me as every card I seem to buy fails.
Just ordered this from newegg. was looking at it for a while but couldnt find any reviews online. hope its good or ill be back 😉
Wish more manufacturers would let you remove the fan like this, I know powercolor did it on one of their cards recently but it was a crappy ATI 5770 I think. this is much more like it. Do they make a 1GB version of this?
NEver heard of them? are they a new make? Galaxy? is this a newegg brand?
nice review steve. They let you keep it :p
Seriously, never heard of them either, are they related to newegg on some level? one of their partners ?
this is rather good for being one of the makes we normally laugh at. pricing is also excellent, but I wouldnt touch a 768mb card. maybe 1gb. good on a budget however.

I have just bought this card and i think it is just amazing for the price range that it is in. it has great overclocking potential e.g. standard clock 675mhz vs good overclock 850mhz. So galaxy has lived up to its name to let only the products that meet the “GALAXY” overclocking mark through to its production.
