***Check out the new Info on the Fallout New Vegas Soundtrack, with lots more classic songs from a similar time period as Mafia II!***
**** UPDATE, Full Mafia II Review – “Family” is Thicker Than Blood has been published, check it out! ****
As I mentioned in my Mafia 2 Preview and my updated Mafia game review of the original, music plays a huge part in this series. Mafia spurred my interest in Django Reinhardt and many of his tracks are mainstays on my ipod now. Period authentic music is a perfect method for enhancing the realism and immersion and the developers have continued the trend with their latest entry in the series Mafia II. The recently released Mafia 2 music list, while not a true Mafia II soundtrack listing, gives us a good picture of what to expect from the game music.

As you can see the Mafia II Soundtrack features a plethora of artists, all the most popular one from the time. The game is out tomorrow, so look for my initial impressions of the game soon, and then a full review to come shortly there after. Playing the Mafia II Demo gave us a glimpse at the excellent use of the Mafia II soundtrack towards the games authenticity. Can’t wait to play the game!
excellent game and soundtrack the only faults is that there is hardly any Downloadable content for Xbox 360 and the storyline isnt long enough although it keeps u fullfilled whilst u play the game excellent music 2 compliment the game though
Awesome posting man, I incredibly like the look and also the feel of this kind of blogging site. You write certainly well, you just need to be a aware guy. Will undoubtedly come back
Some songs are way before 1951 (Barret Strong – Money is from 1959), the game ends in 1951…
Just a though.
Oh come on it doesnt matter whether the songs are exactly correct for the year, theyre still the right period/style of music and it’s all about the feel in the game and they do their job perfectly. Mafia II isn’t perfect but it’s by far the best ‘gangster’ game I’ve ever played (my only complaint is it end’s a bit abruptly)

Good day very cool site!! Guy .. Excellent .. Amazing .. I will bookmark your site and take the feeds also?I’m happy to find numerous helpful information right here within the post, we’d like develop more techniques in this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .
Andrew sisters.
badass game amazing soundtrack but no elvis presley?!!!?
Elvis songs require significantly more money to license, especially the more popular ones. This is probably why we don’t have any Elvis tracks in there.
Mafia 2 is one of the best games i have ever played!Everything is amazing about that game, but soundtrack is epic, really.
