Mafia Classic

The announcement of the Mafia 3 Trilogy finally made me get around to playing this and yeah..just gonna wait for the remake. Anybody who likes this game has their nostalgia glasses on way too tight. The game looks nice for the time but the combat is absolutely terrible with all the flaws of early 2000's third person shooters. Mafia actually got good when the original devs actually stopped making them so I'm looking forward to Hangar 13's remake because there is good stuff to this game but the archaic mechanics utterly ruin it.

this game is so horrible even EA has higher standards

As someone of Italian ancestry, this game makes me ashamed of my heritage.

I didn't play this game upon it's original release, so I don't have any rose tinted glasses through which to view the experience. The city is large but it's meaningless. There's nothing to do save for the occasional side quest after a mission. The cars are all slow and clunky feeling. You pretty much have to drive the speed limit the whole time as well. That wouldn't be too bad on it's own, but 90% of the game is driving from point A to point B. It's just empty, wasted time in every mission. The controls are clunky and you need to customize them to make them as least clunky as possible. The game uses checkpoints so you'll often have to replay large chunks of boring driving sections just to get killed again and repeat the whole process. The story is the only bright spot in the whole mess, it really is captivating enough to keep you hooked for a while, even with the myriad game play faults. Unfortunately, the overall game isn't fun enough to warrant playing through to the end. I just looked up a guide and I'm only halfway through. No way am I playing the rest of this thing just for the story. I'll just look up the ending on a wiki and be done with this game.

Where is Czech translation (&dialogues)?
