MAFIA larger then MAFIA II

[tomstyle]

Yesterday i got MAFIA from an old box and found out that I never came further than the second mission, but that's not what this thread is about.
The back of the cd-rom cover of MAFIA said that MAFIA is 12 square miles:

Explore over 12 square miles of this 1930's American city, with simulated traffic, landmarks and surrounding landscapes that evolve over time

'So the city in MAFIA 2 is actually, it's 10 square miles and that is like double the size of that in mafia 2 you know.'

I hope I'm wrong somehow, im 100% sure the back of mafia 1 says 12 square miles.

yes you're right

but is especially oomdat to 1 mafia is in countryside
Mafia 2 and the city is really focused

Mafia 2 but must be twice as long
because there are more side missions

but also know that maybe change
and there is still a countryside in Mafia 2

we shall see
are a couple of months

The City in Mafia 2 is double the size of the City in Mafia!

I know Mafia 2 is 15 square kilometers.
I don't know how much miles it is.

The 12 square miles described in the readup of Mafia The City of Lost Heaven
covered also the countryside.. not just the city.. I think if I remember from
reading somewhere the city was only about 5 or so square miles in size.

I think they might have lied on the box for Mafia 1 because I saw that too and it doesn't seem right at all. Games like GTA III and Vice City say that their cities are smaller than Lost Heaven, but they seem alot larger, especially Liberty City in GTA III.

I don't know, it just seems 12 square miles is way bigger than what the actual game is, but I don't know if they count the countryside or not. If you count the countryside and the racetrack, then it could very well be 12 square miles. The only thing that's a little silly about that is you hardly ever use the countryside in the main game. The countryside seemed like it was just as large as the city or very close to it lol. I'd say the countryside alone was 4-6 square miles so the city would have only been about 6-8 square miles which sounds a little more reasonable.
