    Really good demo. Enjoyed it a lot. Shame how short it was though! Ten minute timer when roaming the world and the only mission lasts about 10-15 minutes.

    Hi Folks,

    Some of you may know about this fix, but I was really upset at the frame rates until I realized what the problem was.

    This is for you Nvidia folks that may be wondering why the game is running slow.

    I downloaded the steam demo, and part of the installer installed the newest version of Physx, problem is that is installed in in CPU mode, so the game was not using the GPU to render the physics (overloading the CPU and causing low frame rates).

    The simple fix for you NVIDA Steam demo folks that may be in the same boat is to uninstall your physx and reinstall Physx manually from your Mafia II steamapps folder under the 3rd folder

    In my case it was here:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\mafia ii - public demo\3rd

    Now the game runs rock solid 60 FPS and now the game is amazing. Cars are easier to drive, and the Shooting is easier to target (along with amazing visuals)

    Good luck, if this helps one person my work is done
    Done. Still not impressed. Anyone else got a single 480gtx? i do have a spare 260gtx collecting dust atm but need a new psu to power that along with my 480gtx. tempted to do a razor and buy another 480gtx >

    Re: Mafia 2 demo out today

    Tbh i was impressed with how well the engine scales, bearing in mind im on a laptop and can get a nice comfy 30fps, ok the settings ain't on ultra but it still looks good lol.

    More then likely a driver issue with the above josh, would expect a 480 to do better then that at that resolution.

    Re: Mafia 2 demo out today

    As my pc is out of action (new build to start soon) had to try it out on my 360, and I have to say i'm not impressed at all!! My main issue is the graphics :| They look worse than the original Not sure if this is the same on the pc, but i'm reconsidering buying it for the 360 now!

    Very nice demo, this may be one of the very few times I pre-order a game. Can't wait to play it in full!

    Graphics were very good on the PC version, and I don't have a fantasticly uber setup. Probably just the Xbox version.

    Re: Mafia 2 demo out today

    I was considerably underwhelmed. It seemed rather dull and the general handling was like it was on rails. It didn't feel like it flowed very naturally. Like the difference between arcade racers and simulation racers, except shooting. The cars I drove were pretty bad. OK, so they're old timey cars, but the handling was still terrible.

    Meh.

    It was okay. Nothing fantastic but I'm putting down the lack of anything special to the fact it is a demo. I really like 50's setting and its been pulled off really nicely.

    Also the playboy photos are a nice touch
