Here are some FAQ from Mafia II forum:

Q: When is Mafia II coming out?
A: Mafia II is currently scheduled for early 2010 release (January-April) and has no exact release date set yet. Any dates provided by online retailers are just their estimations and thus shouldn't be taken as trustworthy nor official.


Q: On which platforms will Mafia II be availiable?
A: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC


Q: Will Mafia II have a time exclusivity on consoles?
A: No, Mafia II is going to be released simultaneously for all three platforms.


Q: What hardware does the PC version require?
A: This has been not specified yet, but 2K Czech's Illusion Engine has a uniqe streaming technology to keep the requirements mainstream friendly even with the benchmark-setting quality.


Q: Does Mafia II feature any multiplayer mode?
A: No, the developers at 2K Czech are heavily focusing on telling a complex story with strong narrative and rather than experimenting with multiplayer, they spend their time on polishing every aspect of singleplayer experience.


Q: Are Joe and Eddie the guys from the ending cutscene in Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven?
A: Nobody knows and this probably won't change until we get our hands on the game.


Q: Are there any connections to the stroyline of original game in Mafia II?
A: There are some ties and reminders for Mafia fans, but they do not play a key role in Mafia II's story.


Q: Is there going to be any freedom of choice during missions?
A: Yes, players will have to make some important decisions at several points of the story. Also, some missions can be executed in two or more different ways.


Q: Does Mafia II feature multiple endings?
A: Yes, Mafia II can conclude in four different endings.


Q: How do the missions look like? Are there any side missions?
A: Each mission in the game tells a story of one important day in the life of Vito Scaletta. As the missions are quite complex, they do include some optional objectives which perfectly fit into the plot and the setting of given mission. There are time jumps between missions, so we definitley won't experience every single day of the 10 years period which Mafia II story covers.


Q: Do money play some role in Mafia II? Is it possible to buy food, clothes or cars in game?
A: These are not the main features of the game, but yes. Buying food restores your overall health, changing clothes can help you to confuse the police and the same goes for buying cars. Cars can be also repaired or re-sprayed in repair shops for a reasonable price.
