Lost Heaven, 13. Juni
Tommy Angelo ist eigentlich Taxifahrer, doch sein Schicksal nahm eine unheilvolle Wendung. Er wurde Mafia-Gangster - von der "Familie" respektiert, von seinen Feinden gefürchtet und mit dem unbeugsamen Willen, die Dinge auf seine Weise zu regeln.
Begleiten Sie Tommy durch ein spannendes Gangster-Epos und erleben Sie seinen steilen Aufstieg in die Süitze der gefürchtetsten Verbrecherorganisation der Welt - DIE MAFIA
- Tauchen Sie ein in die Unterwelt der 30er Jahre und erleben Sie hautnah rasante Auto-Verfolgungsjagden, Banküberfälle, illegalen Alkoholschmuggel, Attentate und brutale Bandenkriege, verpackt in einer fesselnden Story aus Verbrechen, Leidenschaft und Verrat.
- Über 20 actiongeladene Missionen, gespickt mit unerwarteten Ereignisen und überraschenden Wendungen sowie zahlreichen Untermissionen für den erfahrenen Mafioso
- Fahren Sie über 60 authentische Fahrzeuge, wie Sportwagen, LKWs und Cabrios, um der Konkurrenz immer eine Nase voraus zu sein.
- Wählen Sie aus einem breitgefächerten Angebot an Waffen, angefangen bei Baseball-Schlägern über Magnums bis hin zum gefürchteten Thompon-Gewehr.
- Erforschen Sie eine fast 20 Quadratkilometer große amerikanische Stadt, die sich kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt, inkl. simuliertem Straßenverkehr, markanten Gebäuden und weitläufiger Umgebung.
- Komplette Charakter-Animationen im Motion-Capture-Verfahren mit realistischer Mimik und einer speziellen Lippensynchron-Technologie machen aus jedem der vielen Charaktere eine eigene, selbstständige Persönlichkeit.
- Entwickelt von Illusion Softworks mit der LS3D-Engine, die eine der fortschrittlichsten Physikmodelle beinhaltet, die je in einem Computersspiel zur Verfügung standen: mit Echtzeit-Schadenssystem und authentischem Fahrverhalten bei allen Fahrzeugen sowie realistisch gerenderten Stadtumgebungen und hochdetaillierten Innenausstattungen.

PlayStation.com steps gingerly into the seedy underworld of 30's America, with Take 2's action-packed mob caper...
You're part of the family now. Join the mob as a foot soldier, carry out jobs for rewards and respect, and work your way up through the ranks to become a mafia don. The city of Lost Heaven has been torn in two by a turf war, with rival families, the Salieris and the Morellos, battling for supremacy and control. You start out as a humble cabbie, working for the Salieris, before going on to get involved in various shady dealings, including acting as getaway driver, subbing as a racing car driver and performing hits for the family.
The story unfolds over the course of 20 missions, with additional side-quests including car chases, mob hits and shootouts. Get the jobs done, and you'll earn the family's respect and elevate your status within the mob.
In a similar vein to Grand Theft Auto, you'll explore the city either by walking or driving around, searching for missions and avoiding police and rival gangs along the way. And as with GTA: Vice City, the architecture and atmosphere of the game's era has been recreated to impressive effect, with Lost Heaven sporting run-down hotels, dark and dingy dockyards, and smoky bars full of scary Mafia types.
But you won't be doing much scenery spotting, because it seems most of the city's out to get you, and you'll be dodging bullets quicker than you can say Cosa Nostra. Lucky then, that you'll be equipped with a satisfyingly comprehensive collection of weaponry from the era, with everything from Tommy Guns to pump-action shotguns on offer for ridding the streets of those pesky law-enforcers. Guns, classic cars, and lots of zoot-suited mafia-types - what's not to like?
- Join the mob, run errands to earn respect, and climb the ranks to become a feared mafia don
- Take on more than 20 missions, with additional sub-quests for earning extra rewards
- Drive almost 60 different vehicles of the era, with realistic physics and handling
- Get to grips with Tommy guns, magnums, colts and pump-action shotguns on your travels
