Logo: We move along the close-up of pistol barrel, turn into slow motion and observe the 2K Czech logo carved on the barrel. When the light passes it, the carve gleams blue. The pistol makes a shot and we chase the bullet, again turning into slo-mo as the bullet moves with a trail behind and crushes the bottle with 2K logo, which also floats slowly. After this the Mafia logo plays.
FX/SFX: Perfectly made animation.
Music/Sounds: An ingame-type tense soundtrack with slowed down sound of shooting.
Availability: Appeared on Mafia II.
Editor's Note : Low to Medium. Because of the slow motion, the logo is not harmful.
