'Mafia II' demo out in August

Upcoming epic action crime game 'Mafia II' will have a downloadable demo available worldwide on 10 August for the PlayStation 3 , Xbox 360, and Windows PC.

Set in the 1940s and '50s American urban cityscape of Empire Bay, the 'Mafia II' demo invites gamers to dive into the "Buzzsaw" level, where Vito and his buddies, Joe and Henry, are sent to take out a mobster known as "The Fat Man".

While the game spans two decades, the Buzzsaw demo 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. The demo showcases the type of vibrant edge-of-your-seat action, as well as a slice of the expansive city of Empire Bay in the colourful era.

In 'Mafia II', due for release on 27 August,players take control of Vito Scaletta, who is making a name for himself on the streets of Empire Bay. He's someone who can be trusted to get a job done. Together with his buddy Joe, he is working to prove himself to the Mafia, quickly escalating up the family ladder with crimes of larger reward, status and consequences… the life as a wise guy isn't quite as untouchable as it seems.
