Mafia II Guide

by Colin Moriarty

It's a fact -- people are absolutely enamored with the mob. This fascination goes way back to the earliest parts of the 20th century, but came to the fore in 1969, when Mario Puzo released his quintessential mafia book The Godfather. By the time the book was made into a movie in the early 1970s, America's (and the world's) love with the Italian-American underground was fully cemented, and we've never looked back. Especially in the realm of cinema, we are inundated with mafia and mobster movies. We just can't get enough.

Gaming is a different beast than cinema, of course, but with games like The Godfather, the mobster gaming sub-genre seems to be coming into its own. Mafia II itself is the long-awaited sequel to the game Mafia, released way back in 2002. The game focuses on a character named Vito, who rises from rags to riches through the illicit underworld of the fictional city, Empire Bay. The game has fifteen chapters to complete, and plenty of unlockables and collectibles to find, including elusive Playboy Magazines and Wanted Posters. And naturally, our guide's got you fully covered.

Our guide has a complete Trophy and Achievement Guide for Mafia II, which explains in detail how to get many of the harder-to-earn Trophies and Achievements in the game. Be sure to consult that section of the guide for more information.
Where do I find [X] Playboy Magazine?
Our guide contains two different ways to track down the Playboy Magazines you're missing. You can either use our detailed walkthrough to find each and every magazine as you work your way through the game, in sequence. The Playboy Magazines section of this guide will also explain where the magazines are, with details and screenshots, and even links back to the walkthrough to add context to the magazine in question's location.
Where do I find [X] Wanted Poster?
There are 159 Wanted Posters in the game, making the Wanted Posters the more plentiful of the game's two collectible types. They are found in the game's sandbox, and will take time to hunt them down. The Wanted Posters section of this guide has a complete map which shows the exact location of each and every Wanted Poster. Additionally, each poster has a write-up about it, as well as screenshots showing where the Wanted Poster is in realtime. That's where you want to go to find Wanted Posters. There is no better reference available anywhere.
