2K Games has released a PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 demo for Mafia II.

The PS3 demo is a 24 hour PlayStation Plus exclusive, however, and will be available to download by all PS3 owners tomorrow.

Queue up the Xbox Live demo over at Xbox.com.

Or, PC gamers can download the PC demo from Steam.

"While the game spans two eras, the Mafia II demo invites gamers to dive into the Buzzsaw level, which takes place during the summer of the '50s – a time considered the 'Birth of Cool', and with it, rock 'n' roll, hot rods, and rebellious attitudes," says the official blurb.

In the demo, Vito Scaletta and his buddies, Joe and Henry, are sent to take out a mobster known as The Fat Man.

"This mission showcases vibrant edge-of-your-seat action, era-evoking cars, memorable characters and a snapshot of the expansive city of Empire Bay in this colourful era."

Game's out on all three platforms on 27th August 2010.
