(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A member of the European Parliament has appealed for Take-Two's Mafia II to be banned. A decision which if ensued would anger thousands of hardcore gamers across Europe.

Sonia Alfano's father was murdered by the Mafia in 1993 when she was at University, and has since campaigned on behalf of the relatives of those who've suffered at the hands of Italian organised crime.

Alfano, president of the Italian association for the families of Mafia victims - Familiari Vittime di Mafia, said yesterday:



Alfano appealed last week to the European Commission, calling for the game to be banned, which has a rank-up system within a mob in 'Empire Bay', a fictional New York.

Alan Lewis of Take-Two, defended the game:

stop trying to ban games for any raison and beside mafia 2 is great

i got this game for my ps3, its ****en sickkkk
i wish it was longer though..
everyone needs to play it
why ban games?

Wow lol. Why would they do that, Mafia II is a good game.

Never Really Played This Game.. How Is IT ?

mafia 2 is a GREAT game, fun, exciting, lots to do, has free roam abilities. not lie gta series, the graphics are great, and some good dlc content. one of last years gems for games. recommend you try it sometime.

Just downloaded this, installing it now on my PS3. I've played the demo before, it's pretty sweet!

What Annoys me about people like this is, they probably don't even own a games console let alone the game, the fact of the matter is if you don't like something don't go out and buy the ****er in the first place, its like that time when some religious guy tried to get a game banned because it offended him (infact i think it was MW2) in the end IW had to add a bit that allowed you to skip offensive parts, its political correctness gone insane, i wish people would just STFU and keep their opinions to themselves, if these people ever got into power we wouldn't be allowed to do anything.

geez you can't even pick your own nose these days without offending someone.

i thought it was andy dufraine in "shawshank redemption?"

Ok ban me noe because im going to start the NGU mafia!!!
