Mafia Classic

The game is dated, but its still a good time. The missing music really does hurt the experience though. 3/5, on sale so it was worth it

Playing Mafia is like reading a book, it has such an absorbing story which pulls you in and won't let go. What a classic of the 2000's. The game shines in storytelling, soundtrack and atmosphere. but the engine is showing its age.

I have always been a huge fan of the Mafia franchise but nothing beats the original Mafia - City of Lost Heaven. I remember playing it for the first time as a teenager and how impressed I was about the whole story. I stopped at the racing mission because I just couldn't beat it. Months later, I revisited the mission and managed to beat it. I felt so relieved about it all and realised there was about 3/4 of the entire game left for me to discover! Nothing beats Mafia I for me even though Mafia II also had a great storyline with much better graphics, Mafia I still has a special place in my heart.

Mafia does an amazing job of creating a lively city. The world feels real and busy. It really pulls you into the experience. The characters are well done, each with their own unique traits that add to the story. The plot itself is great, keeping you interested as you play through the missions. One of the best parts of the game at least for me is the stealth gameplay. The music in the game is also great, helping to set the mood as you play. However, the game doesn't include any of the original licensed songs, which might be a letdown for some fans. Luckily, you can easily add them back by using a mod so I won't even consider this on the rating. Overall, this is a really fun game with only a small issue that can be fixed easily. If you enjoy stealth games and great storytelling, this one is definitely worth playing

I run it on my older PC equipment. Still works great for me.
