This feature provides tactical support against enemies and has become a crucial technique of the genre. New controls include a cover system that allows the player to take cover behind objects (such as generators, walls and large crates) and shoot enemies, rather than just entering an arbitrary crouch pose behind them. A map is included as in the original Mafia game, but the checkpoint system has been completely overhauled. Interacting with objects in the environment involves two action buttons: a standard action and a 'violent' action (for example, when stealing a car, the player may choose to either pick its lock or break the window glass), used in context-sensitive situations. New World War II–era weapons, the MG 42 and the Beretta Model 38, also appear in the game. Many firearms from the previous game return, such as the Thompson submachine gun and Colt 1911, as well as a pump-actionshotgun. For example, during the early chapters in winter, vehicles are more likely to slip on the road due to the ice. Depending on the weather during the course of the game, vehicles are handled differently. There are 50 vehicles in the game as well as licensed music from the era. The game is set in the 1940s–early 1950s era of Empire Bay, a fictional city based on New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston and Detroit. However running from the authorities will still result in them shooting the player.

Police awareness in the game works in a similar manner as with the previous game, although the player can now bribe after committing an offense. The player character engaging in a gunfight with the authorities. A remastered version of the game, entitled Mafia II: Definitive Edition, was developed by d3t Limited and Hangar 13, and released by 2K Games on.

Its successor, Mafia III, was released in 2016. At release, Mafia II received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise particularly directed at the story, though the linear open world design was criticized. Development began in 2003, soon after the release of the first Mafia game. The player character's criminal activities may incite a response from law enforcement agencies, measured by a 'wanted' system that governs the aggression of their response. The game is played from a third-person perspective and its world is navigated on-foot or by vehicle. Set within the fictional Empire Bay (based on New York City, as well as aspects of Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston and Detroit) in 1945 and later 1951, the game's storyline follows Sicillian mobster and war veteran Vito Scaletta as he becomes involved in a power struggle among the Mafiacrime families of the city while attempting to pay back his father's debts and secure a better lifestyle for himself.

The game is the sequel to 2002's Mafia and the second game in the Mafia series. It was released in August 2010 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows Mafia II: Director's Cut was released by Feral Interactive in December 2011.
