Mafia: The Old Country isn't great, but you know what? Its rendition of 1900s Sicily is sun-drenched, citrus-scented, and very nice to look at. The problem is that the main game just treats it as a series of roads to cart you between dull missions and the game's exploration mode—squirrelled away in its chapter select—really only exists to let you go and collect old newspapers you forgot to grab in the main game. There's nothing to do in it.
So I suppose it's good news that the legitimate businessmen over at 2K have announced that—in return for fans' 'love and loyalty'—the game is soon to get a new Free Ride mode. So, um, another exploration mode. But this one's different: 2K promises "new activities and gameplay, arriving free for all players in the coming months."
