Stylish classic

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.

No GTA clone, instead a immersive story.

Mafia had the misfortune of releasing after GTA III, and was quickly labeled a clone. In truth, it's a very different game with a linear, story-driven experience that trades a sandbox for immersion and atmosphere. The story is its greatest strength. Told through flashbacks, it follows taxi driver Tommy Angelo, who is reluctantly drawn into the Salieri family. This framing device spans years and shows how his ordinary life collapses into crime. The pacing feels believable, and Tommy is a grounded, human protagonist whose choices make sense. Lost Heaven, the 1930s metropolis, is carefully crafted with authentic cars, music, and routines. Unlike GTA's playground cities, it's not meant for endless roaming. The world enforces rules speed limits, fuel consumption, and police patrols that make it feel more like a living simulation than a sandbox. Small details, like buildings under construction that later finish or newer car models appearing, reinforce the passage of time. Driving is slow and clunky, reflecting the era's cars. Some find it dull, but it supports the realism: reckless driving usually ends in arrest. Gunfights follow the same philosophy as few bullets kill, weapons are limited, and tactics matter. Yet combat often feels frustrating, with trial-and-error encounters and weak AI, making it the least polished part of the game. Attention to detail sets Mafia apart. Tires and windows can be shot out and bullet holes persist. These touches strengthen immersion. Outside the story, however, the game falters. Freeride mode quickly feels empty, and even the bizarre “Freeride Extreme” challenges clash with the grounded mechanics. Its gameplay can be rough, but as a narrative-driven crime drama, it delivers one of the most immersive experiences of its era.

MAFIA HEAVEN !!

Do you like Gangsters with guns?, do you like fighting a lot of guys by yourself? can you rely on the shotgun, or the Tommy Gun, how about a revolver? This game has a free roaming experience like the Grand Theft Auto games. It's a classic game so do not expect a 2017 game. It's fair for the price and it's a classic game remember this. It has a lot of hidden easter eggs, the missions can be done any way you want. There is a gun store in the game so make sure you stock up on all the goodies. If you are into Gangster or Mafia themed games then please try this out. It has a great story, if you played Mafia 2 or the new Mafia 3, this is the original ! This game started the franchise !. It's a great piece of video game history if you like Mafia 2 or Mafia 3. What do you lose? a pizza cost 20 bucks, and it's for one time. This you can play for weeks. Good luck amico ! this game is the best !!

The best MAFIA ever!

This game is a masterpiece... Still very nice graphic, still great gameplay, still the best story of all MAFIA games. Imho it's better to buy this part of MAFIA than any other MAFIA games. MAFIA 3 isn't MAFIA... If you want to play MAFIA buy this one or MAFIA 2 and even dont think about buying that piece of ****, called dunno why, "MAFIA" 3. Mafia is one of the bestest games that i've ever play, first on PlayStation2 and now on PC. TOTAL MUST HAVE for all MAFIA fans and peoples who never play MAFIA! 10/10
