Heavily-inspired by the iconic mafia drama films, the game created an in-depth look at the reality of the Mafia life and how its glamor will always come at a high price. The Gangster LifeĪs the highlight of Mafia II, the single-player game’s storyline spanned over several years, detailing Vito Scaletta’s adventures in the criminal underworld.
His journey from low-ranking goon to “made man” in a crime family is fraught with blood, betrayal, and the ever-looming question of morality as he fights to survive the glimmering city of Empire Bay. Similar to the first game’s premise, the story follows new protagonist Vito Scaletta, a war veteran who finds himself entangled in the complicated world of the Mafia as he struggles to pay back his father’s debts. The sequel to the critically-acclaimed third-person shooter, Mafia II is an action video game released in 2010, boasting an impressive design of the open-world exploration, new realistic game mechanics, and an even grittier drama.
