Someone should comment further on the released screenshots. There's a lot of factual information in them that can be posted here, including "Empire City Transport", seen on the back of a bus, indicating the possible name of the City that the game will take place in.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.211.220.56 (talk) 05:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Europe release only? 

message: I noticed on the Amazon.com pages for Mafia II (Xbox 360 and PS3) the release date is October 31, 2008. It has been listed as the release date for a long time now, Amazon is usually always correct, I think it should be included in the article. Here are the links to verify my find.

replies: text: Sites such as Amazon are generally considered not to be reliable sources for release dates as they often use estimates. It would probably be best to wait until it is officially announced. Although, in WP:VG/DATE it says that "Care should be taken in stating release dates. Many commercial gaming sites, such as GameSpot, IGN, and 1UP.com, supply accurate dates, as well as vendor sites such as Amazon.com or GameStop". I believe this refers to dates given after the game has been released but I'm not sure. ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 23:40, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  System requirements: rumors 

message: It's only an assumption, but if you'd read the plot, it states that the player Vito Scaletta has just returned from world war II. It's only opinion but, this is similar to Micheal Corleones return from World War II in The Godfather. Also Vito was the first name of Don Corleone. Should we mention this, and maybe reference it? I'm only asking because in the Marketing and release section, the game makes references to The Goodfella's. The Godfather and Goodfella's are the only movies I know of that would inspire a game much like this. Not to mention, the setting is the same. It's just my opinion, though. Like I said. I just see some similarities, that's all. --Shadow6Wolf66 (talk) 23:53, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: That sounds a bit like original research to me. Editor's personal opinions should not be reflected in the article. Even if no notable reviewrs have deemed it "revolutionary", it has received enough coverage to be considered mainstream and "important". I'd say it lacks the major significant cultural impact of games like Spacewar! and Doom or major franchises like Mario or GTA. Still that doesn't make it low importance, or we'd have to tag nearly every mainstream game that way. 96.228.129.69 (talk) 06:59, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

message: In the part of the game set in 1951 (which is the majority of the game)
Many songs on the 'Empire Classic' radio station plays songs that did not exist in 1951 - Buddy Holly (That'll be the day, Rave On etc etc, all 1957), Eddie Cochrane's Summertime Blues from 1958.
These are just the ones I recognise and remember, I suspect there are many more musical anachronisms on the soundtrack.
Be less rigorous friend. The idea is that it's the 50's, and the atmosphere is from the 50's. It does not really matter exactly when in the 50's the songs were written.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.231.197.126 (talk) 12:13, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

message: In Chapter 15, the protagonist from Mafia I makes a short cameo. He's the elderly gentleman watering his lawn who gets mowed down by Vito and Joe. If a detailed synopsis ever gets written up, this should be incorporated, because I came to this Wiki page looking for confirmation. (I've never played Mafia I). I didn't get the info from this Wiki page, but the Mafia I page.

message: Mafia II received average reviews from critics. IGN gave the game 7/10...IGN AU gave it a 8.0/10...Gamespot gave it 8.5...Game Informer gave it a 9.0/10...
The most negative review came from Eurogamer who gave the game a 4/10...
These don't sound like average reviews. In my book, an average review is centered around 5 on a scale of 1-10. If 4 was the lowest review and most of the notable magazines gave it 7+, we have to assume the mean score is well above 5 if everyone uses a 0-10 scale. Personally, I've never played the game and came here to read about it, but the way the reception is phrased makes the article misleading.
I'm rephrasing it to "Mafia II received generally positive reviews from critics." 96.228.129.69 (talk) 07:01, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
