Als Hauptspiel aus dem Jahr 2010 bietet Mafia II ein düsteres, filmreifes Abenteuer, das die Karriere von Vito Scaletta in der Unterwelt der 1940er und 50er Jahre beleuchtet. Das Gameplay kombiniert Shooter-Elemente mit fahrzeugbasiertem Racing in einer offenen Welt, wobei der Fokus stark auf der linearen, charaktergetriebenen Geschichte liegt. Spieler erleben Schießereien und Verfolgungsjagden, während sie in die Falcone-Familie aufsteigen. Das Spiel ist auf PC, Xbox 360 und PS3 verfügbar und erhielt nachträglich drei DLCs sowie eine Remaster-Version.
