To run the PC version Mafia II, your computer will not have to trace its ancestry back to Sicily. However, it will need to meet some other requirements.
The minimum and recommended system specs needed for the game are below. If your computer doesn't pass muster, remember that there's always the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions to fall back on...unless you don't own either of those consoles. In that case, go rent Goodfellas or something.
