Illusion Softworks has updated the official Mafia Web site with developer diary entries that originally appeared in the Czech magazine Score. The first entry details the development team's preparation for E3 and how they managed to get a relatively stable build ready in time for the show. The second explains how the team handled the show and gives their overall impressions of how everything went. Mafia is a full 3D action game set in the 1930s. Players assume the role of a gangster and perform mob hits or participate in car chases in a city that spans 12 square miles. The game features more than 20 missions, and it also provides players with a wide assortment of weapons and vehicles.
