The promised playable demo for
Mafia II is now available, with the Windows sample of the open-world action sequel provided by
Steam. Here's word from the
Mafia II Demo page that sets the story for what to expect: "Vito has started to make a name for himself on the streets of Empire Bay, someone who can be trusted to get a job done. In this hot leaded playable demo, you and Joe get one of your first serious assignments, to deal with a chump that isn't playing ball the way the Mob likes it."
Update: A
post to our forums has a tip on how to hax0r the demo for unlimited free-roaming, overcoming its inherent 10 minute limit.
