Global Survey of Mafia II Players

I welcome all visitors to this blog and congratulate everyone on the New Year!

I found an interesting message on one of the German fan sites and decided to share it with you.

The release of Mafia II at the end of August 2010 did not go unnoticed and caused a strong resonance; the game divided fans into two camps worldwide. One part received the game with enthusiasm, while others were greatly disappointed due to missing previously promised features. Despite all this, Mafia II is not such a bad game, as can be judged by the number of illegal downloads, which amounted to 3.55 million in the past year; however, the game did not become the blockbuster of the past year.

Now, several months after the game's release and several DLCs, the idea to organize a public opinion poll came about regarding what attracted us to this game and what did not, so that these wishes could be embodied in a possible continuation of the series.

This survey is offered to all players who have played Mafia II. Your participation and honest answers may help to achieve certain results. You will need to answer 77 questions. All conceivable points of view about the game are considered and addressed.

The survey will end on 15.02.2011.

After processing the results, it will be sent to 2K Games.

We hope that 2K Games will take into account the wishes and incentives of the players when creating a truly worthy successor to Mafia.
