The godfather of videogames

Mafia City of Lost Heaven is one of the best games I'v ever played all around. The story is superb It's nothing earthshakingly original, the rise and fall of an antihero who starts climbing the ranks of a criminal organization. Yet it's so well narrated that the elements that can be considered generic get totaly overshadowed by the hole. This situations the player get's thrown into, along with very detailed car handling and very sharp shooting mecanics delivers a excepcional experience. You can really belive that you are a 30' gangster shooting your way out of an anbush in a gas station on the middle of nowhere or speeding away from the police. In conclusion, great characters , story and gameplay make this game a must play for anyone who enjoys 3rd person shooters or is a fan of great stories.

Attention potential Spyware / Malware

2K has retroactively changed their EULA. Now they collect literally anything on your computer (including but not exclusively visited websites or payment information for example). Not sure if they are also installing rootkit like software in the gog version like they do in non gog versions. gog should consider banning all 2k games because I dont think that their EULA complies with gogs vision...

Good game

I first played this when I was younger and the locations were real in my mind. I still love it. I don't get the criticism about the gameplay. I remembered replaying the gas station mission because I enjoyed the shooting because of some implacable, weird tactility it had. The story is great. It's better than 2, and far better than 3. There's a lot of choice. There's all the spraying up enemy cars in free roam you could want. It's a good time. Play it.

A game you can't refuse

Mafia has definitely made an impression! Where the game really shines is the plot and characters. Visuals have aged fairly nicely in my estimation. It shows a bit of age with gun play, walking, driving etc. Music apparently has been butchered for this re-release but I can't tell first hand having never played Mafia before this. It's worth playing even today BUT be aware there's some bugs like sporadic crashes and invisible map markers. Not a huge deal but it means some backtracking because Mafia has this annoying checkpoint autosave. At worst points you would need to do a long boring drive just before a tricky shootout, a bit of a design flaw if you can't make your own saves. The game involves a lot of driving (and not seldom on the same routes keep in mind) so take that into consideration as well. It would have been a bit more interesting were it not for police on every street and street corner enforcing the speed limit. At points it gets ridiculous, example: two mobster vehicles engaged in a crazy shootout as they are blazing down the city street, the police join the fray with a speeding ticket...in short map traversal is a bit tedious but it's well worth looking past if you are in the mood for some epic crime drama! At points in which the game is not bogged down with tedious strolls around town or long winded tram rides it can actually be quite immersive and tense. If you can look past the flaws, definitely give it a go.

Nostalgia stands corrected

Mafia sure had its problems back in the day, but by now gamers got used to higher standards. A few random crashes, shadows glitching - I'm prepared to overlook it. It's just... Back then GTA had founded a new genre and it made sense to transfer it into the early days of cars. Mere years (in the story) make a real difference, so You'll experience the first ones slowly crawling up a bridge and how progress develops towards actually fast cars - it still keeps its charm there! That said it's not a polished genre yet. It's a genre-mix: driving, shooting, storytelling and at times a sort of puzzle-solving. Might sound good on the surface, but it's real annoying if the game doesn't communicate properly what You are supposed to do and which rules apply. Shooting can lead to mission failure after You already did the driving part for a good few minutes - gotta replay that bit then. Thanks a lot. Then there's some puzzle piece and You might wonder: didn't I already shoot all the opponents? What's left to do? Let's walk around on an empty map some more, because we all love doing that... The race is often criticized for being overly harsh. Actually I doubt that's really the problem (in this version You can even choose to render it easier). The problem is the genre-mix in itself. It's not a racing game and its players might not want to play a racing game either, but the race has a difficulty as if it was. Then again the shooting isn't any better: lots of weird bugs, like standing too close, reaching through opponents with Your arm and emptying a magazine "into" an opponent w/o any effect. There's quite a few real-time timers, so if You retry and play it quick You end up simply waiting until events move on. There's lots of walking around to "scout" a level, because the objectives are unclear and You have to "figure it out" - not with wits, but by walking, clicking, trial-and-error. Overall I really missed modern standards and find it hard to forgive its many small flaws.
