Mafia Classic

С год назад писал в поддержку gog.com с просьбой выложить в продажу эту игру! Спасибо вам за возможность поблагодарить разработчиков за этот шедевр, еще раз! Покупал игру в далёком 2003 году и тогда она произвела на меня неизгладимое впечатление! Позже вышедшие Mafia 2 и 3 - лишь блеклая тень этого шедевра. Спасибо gog.com!

This is a game I used to play a lot when it was new. And then again a year later. And again a year later. You get the point. The story is absolutely fantastic, there are great characters and there is the general feel of a Mafia town during the Mafia times. The true, prohibition Mafia times. The controls are a bit dated, but you can fix that as they are customizeable, and the gameplay is fun. This is a GTA ish game where somehow they managed to set a speed limit and make cops actually stop you for running red lights not seem obtrusive and annoying. The only bad thing is that the licensed music is gone, so driving isn't as fun anymore. Luckily, under the game installation folder there is a subfolder named sounds and another named music where you can replace the city_music_##.ogg with any other .ogg sound file and that will play just fine. If you happen to have the original soundtrack somehow, I suggest putting that in there. If you have any other good 1920's music you like, you can put that in there. That being said, it's still an issue with the game as is, which is the only reason I'm giving four instead of five stars. The music is key for this game.

One of my favourite games of all time. Be aware that there is no licensed music in the GOG version of the game, which is definitely a detriment. You can find it online though, if you're resourceful. :)

The Mafia was wonderful. at that time were 2 games with big sandbox world. Mafia and GTAVC. In the mafia, although there were fewer opportunities, but it was more atmospheric. Perception wasnt like a game, but as alive city with its own history. Is it worth playing it? I don't know. except that only for nostalgic. It was funny listen people, about the difficult level with race))) there was a way by which you could drive a short way. shortcut was 100%, I confirm this. then a patch appeared that blocked the short path, but added a difficulty easy level and even gave chance to skip the race. As in this edition of Gog, I donot know yet

Сильные стороны этой игры - сюжет, режиссура и атмосфера в целом. Даже спустя (на минуточку) 17 лет Мафия играется с удовольствием. Если закрыть глаза на некоторую "деревянность" в силу почтенного возраста, эта игра не оставит вас равнодушным.
