Done downloading, will post my first impressions here.

Damn it was pretty dang good I loved it, I didn't mind the driving, I bet they're trying to go for that. I'm not sure if the older 20th century vehicles had good handling or not.

Optimization was pretty good, completely maxed out on a radeon 5850 1 GB Overclocked, intel core 860, 8 GB DDR3 RAM. but I did experience some really odd slow downs, optimization could be a BIT better but no worries.

It's like a better GTA

Be sure to let everyone know how much of the demo data you've downloaded. This information is very important to us all.

Demo was pretty good. Controls could be a lil better for aiming and the driving isn't great, really its not even good. But it is pretty fun. I hope there's a way to disable crosshair in the full game as well. The cross hair is huge. In shooters i always make it as small as possible. Graphics are good game runs great. 50+ fps for the most part.

Just finished the demo. So far so good. Gameplay is great, graphics are good, and very well optimized(I got 30+FPS on high with 16xAF and 4xMSAA), and the game is fun!

Uploading video to youtube. Will post here when done :)

Runs good, looks good, controls are wobbly but doable. Overall pretty good. Doesn't change the fact that there's only a 10-15 hour campaign so it's still a bargain bin title as far as I'm concerned.

If you ask me, it's a better version of GTA IV, but with the Mafia, and amazing optmization.

Graphics options are good. If you ask me, the optimization is amazing. Don't use the Yougamers check, it's way off. It told me that I could run it on low, yet I ran it maxed out with AA and AF.

Controls are good, crosshair is large yes, but not a gamebreaker.

I'm getting the video uploaded, will have it in the next hour.

They're pretty much the same as in GTA IV.

Hmm, where di you hear the 10-15 hour campaign from?

If you're talking about the number of missions, it's actually the number of chapters (15) with several missions in each

Controls yes are good. Feels like a pc game mouse wise not a console port. They aren't perfect though and as someone mentioned I think the car handling is relative to the big steel boat car models in the game. But basically it's impossible to turn without sliding lol

And I really hate the 10 minute limit you have free roaming in the demo :P

But I actually learned to drive properly.

If only my converter would work faster :|

Shootouts just don't give me the same satisfaction as gta4 though. As far as stray bullets perforating cars and glass and what not. Animations are pretty good though. Good body physics

I'm quite amazed that it runs on mah single core machine. I just took my 5770 from my actual gaming system and plugged it in. Crazy. Hopefully the finished game will run like this.

If your like me games generally take 3x longer than quoted.

If you speed through, you miss half the stuff anyway, take it slow & enjoy.

managed to get a decent frame rate with settings maxed but with AFx8 @1920x1200. However when i put Physx at low or medium my frame rate drops dramatically. I have an 8800GT for Physx so i was expecting to at least be able to run the game with Physx on medium. It looks as though Physx isn't optimized well at all in this game. Other than the Physx the game run really well and looks great.

I love it!!!

They still have the old features from the first Mafia and I love the way they have every little detail in your house - Drink, eat, look at playboy, change your clothes, play around with the taps and turning lights on and off.

The graphics , to me, are spectacular. The lighting is gorgeous and the amount of detail put in is great! Gunfights are really fun, you get to see lots of crap flying around as you blast your way in the distillery. Too bad the demo has a 10 minute limit for free roam, which is the flaw of the demo. I'm very glad I pre-ordered this.

Im pleasently supprised by the good feedback from the PC gamers. I was sure this would be a rubbish console to PC port. I dont think it will surpass the original though :)

A 10 minute demo is seriously.... dissapointing. Anyway the timer stops when you start the first and only mission in the game. The gameplay: Is very gta iv like but with full of action in the missions. It has very gta iv like things like food, breaking windows to get into cars and other reallistic stuff. The driving is the same as gta iv :( perhaps a bit easier and you can turn simulation mode on at the options. Damn cars handle like crap. The gunplay is very easy and similar to gta iv, only weapons lose more accuracy when shot and it takes 2-3 hits to kills someone. What i really liked is that for once the combat system matters alot, if you are exposed for a few seconds you die, so you have to use cover and take your shots fast. Also the controls during cover is what gta iv controls should be. You health regeneration and when your car you take damage but you recover. There is no super duper recoil like the previous game. Sound is great and weapons sound great too. Overall miles better than mafia and clearly better than gta iv. The perfomance is very good on my pc i maxed it out with 50 fps, i have not tried physics yet, It required a restart, i will try again, still plenty of stuff break without them, they just dont turn int little tiny pieces on the ground. What suprise me is how SMOOTH the framerate was, i was able to move and look around as fast as max payne 2, it felt like i was playing an action game and not an open world game. No stutter no issues nothing, Also i didnt heard my cpu fan to go wild, so i guess its not that demanding of a game. The dissapointing parts are that the map is pretty small, thus the perfomance and you cant swim. I would say the graphics are not that impressive, but it has a very good way to use color and lighting while you are outdoors so the visuals change and give you the feeling the lighting is better than it really is. The textures look better than gta iv on medium, due to a compression method. However it annoys me that it does not look sharp in 1680x1050, :( same as gta iv, perhaps a bit better. However there is antialising but you can only turn it on and off and it hardly makes a diffirence. I mean seriously? I hope i can use nvidia control panel to increase antialising. Anyway long story short, gta iv has just being destroyed. Oh and a side note, the camera/reticle placing during gunfights is a bit weird, not proper over the shoulder camera.

Yes, you can still get ticketed for speeding, crashing etc. :)

But for the manual driving, I haven't seen any in the demo although they MAY have it in the full version.

Did someone's experience game crashes as well? It crashed twice for me in an hour and i had to reboot my system... The game ran great though, pretty solid 60 fps with v sync on. But i had to turn Physx off it totally killed the performance and i have a 480 GTX.
