For your viewing pleasure, here is the Mafia II trailer that debuted last night during the Spike Video Game Awards.

It's crazy how far graphics and game technology have come for storytelling. What you see above is powered entirely by 2K Czech's engine, which lets them tell this 1950s Hollywood movie-ish mobster world story in style. Graphics aren't everything, but I don't think you'll find much to complain about as far as Mafia II's visuals go.

Along with this trailer, 2K tells us that Mafia II is on track for a simultaneous release for the Xbox 360, PS3, and Windows PC in fall 2009.

This can't be new can it?

I downloaded this and have it on my hard drive off of 360 marketplace months and months ago.

This is old but the one they showed last night was just as cool. I'm pretty interested in this game, I'll probably pick it up.

I thought I had seen that particular trailer before. Turns out I wasn't wrong.

The trailer you are looking for is the one Milkdad posted.

The original game was one of the best story driven games I've played. I can't wait till this one comes out.
