Grab your tommy gun and strap on your cement shoes because TalonSoft is preparing Mafia, a third-person 3D action game set in the 1930's underworld. Throughout 20 missions, you will rise through the ranks of the powerful Salieri family, taking on roles such as hitman, enforcer and getaway driver. To accomplish your various duties, you will have access to an arsenal of weapons, from shotguns to Tommy guns, as well as over 60 driveable vehicles, including a delivery truck and a Model T. Mafia will muscle its way into stores in October.

Here are some new screenshots of TalonSoft's upcoming foray into the seedy and action-packed world of organized crime, Mafia: La Cosa Nostra. Set in a fictional American city called Lost Heaven, Mafia puts you in the shoes of a foot soldier in the army of mob boss Don Salieri as you take on assignments and work your way up to become a "made" man. The developers have recently rebuilt the game's engine to bring out all the gritty realism of the 1930's underworld, from shady bars to swanky hotels. The lead is going to fly when Mafia: La Cosa Nostra takes to the streets in early 2001.
