Everybody here should run out and get this game at Electronics Boutique...I've been waiting at least 2 years for this game, and for an avid gamer like myself, that's a long wait! The game has been in production for four years and let me tell you, it was worth the wait!!! Any fans of GTAIII (Grand Theft Auto 3, for those in the Dark Ages) will love it!

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna get it.

Thanks for the info man I've been waiting so long for this game to come out.

The game is fucking amazing...so far, here are the missions I have done (don't worry, I won't give away any spoilers):
1. The Getaway, where you have to escape some rival mob guys.
2. Some random stuff with escorting people in the taxi...after all, you are a cabbie!
3. Joining the Salieri family (WOOHOO!!!).
4. Torching some cars (a la Goodfellas!).
5. Collecting protection money.
6. The mission I'm on now: a racing one...

These missions are superbly made...I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

GTA3 still has a special place in my heart, though...in fact, I'm working on completing it again! It's just that goddamn fun!

Those are awesome! Thanks for the link

Has anyone gotten the game yet? It is great! You guys would love it!

Wow! I watched the trailer and I think I'm going to get this thing! I have Gangsters 2 and I thought that was cool... after seeing the preview for this one, Gangsters 2 looks like Pacman!!!

Yeah, Gangsters and Gangsters 2, despite the themes, never really appealed to me, mainly because I don't really like those three-quarter bird's-eye view games...I'm more of a 3D action, adventure, or first-person-shooter gaming fanatic. Was it a good game though?

SWEET!!! Right now I'm on a level of Mafia where you have to tranport some whiskey from Canada...remember, during this game it is the Prohibition Era, so that's why you have to go under-wraps to transport it!

I just got mine today Im at the level where you beat the shit out of some guys cars and tourch them. Ive heard alot about a racing level and the stuff I heard is not to good. Have you played the "racing level" yet?

Yes, I have gotten to it and I have beat it...it took me about 30 tries though. Either way, it's refreshing once you complete it. You know, I'm 20 and I've been playing video games practically my whole life so I may be a little more skilled than others,however. I have seen some frustrated people over that level and I can't blame them. Just keep trying it and trying it and finally you'll win!

I finaly beat the Race Level. That was a stupid level I hated it. Everytime I turned a corner my Goddamn car would spin out.

I heard a while ago that it was going to be released for PS2 also. Does anyone know when that will be?

I heard the same thing too. But I dont know when its coming out. My guess is it will be coming out maybe at the begging of the year or next year sometime.

Well, I've seen that it will be coming out for PS2 and XBox in like November, but I wouldn't count on it...the game had so many delays when in production for PC I would estimate it's release for the consoles sometime next year.

Hey Howard how far are you into the game? Im at the last mission and it is a pain in the ass.

Well two hours later I finaly beat the game and The ending is awesome. It totaly caught me by suprise. For anyone who likes video games this one is great. I recomend this for all of the Mafia fans out there.

I'm at the party on the boat where you have to assassinate the counselor. The game is so great, man...better than any I've ever played. I mean, the acting is good, and this is the first game where I actually care about the characters in it. Also, it's just a thrill to drive around with mobsters in the car while you look around at all the other pathetic people and their unentertaining lives. I mean, you really feel like you are a mobster...Out of all the games that I've played in my lifetime (and that's a lot), I can say that this one is among the top three, right up there with GTAIII and Hitman: Codename 47.

I'm trying to make the game last as long as possible, anyway, just because I love long games. DonPalentino, did you do all of the side missions for Lucas Bertone? They're really fun...I just wish there was more side missions to do like in GTAIII...that really stood out in that particular game. Anyway, I'll probably play this game again after I'm done with it...I'll try to complete the missions in different ways and such...I'm also gonna screw around on "Free Ride" and "Free Ride Extreme".

Yeah I did all of those side missions. The game is awesome wait till the end of the game. Are you having a hard time with that level your on now? because I never found the gun. So I just beat the shit out of the guy till he died. Oh and by the way Hitman is a great game too. I cant wait for the second one to come out.

Just bought it myself and loaded it onto my laptop this evening. Can't wait to start playing, it looks great!

For all you X-Box players and PS2 players the new target release date is March 2003.

Don Cardi

Well, seeing how the PC version went through SO MANY delays, I wouldn't be surprised if those got delayed more, although it isn't THAT hard to make a direct PC to console port, so maybe it will be out on time. Bottom line: it is unknown for sure when it'll come out.

DonPalentino: Have you downloaded the demo of Hitman 2 yet? If you need it tell me.
Also, I did find the gun but you have to talk to the lifeguard about it (I'll try not to put too many spoilers here, for those of you who haven't played it yet). Right now I'm chasing Sergio Morello with the other car...it's HARD...the cutscene with the train right before that chase was great!!!

Going good so far, doesnt look too bad at the moment, might just turn out to be a really good game =)

Howard: No I haven't downloaded it yet. Thanks for the offer If I need it I'll let ya know. The mission your on took me a few trys to beat. Just wait till the next mission.

The links aren't working on my computer... you fellas seem like its a good game though..
?:
is it a pc game or a game consol game?

It's a PC game...the console version will come out sometime next year, first quarter possibly.

I've been waiting for Mafia to come out for a LONG time now! But, now... Of course, as soon as it comes out... I'M FUCKING BROKE!

But... Soon, I'm gonna get it. I'll find SOME way!

Plus, I like playing games on the console better than the PC. I mean, I'm much more comfortable when I'm sitting down in a chair, or laying on my bed, with the controller in my hands better than sitting up at a computer chair, staring at the screen, a foot away, clicking and typing!

So, I definately will get the PC version... BUT, as soon as I get my Gamecube this Christmas and the game comes out... You can bet your ass I'll have it! :p

Oh, wait... It's coming out for PS2?! YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH! Okay, that was refreshing. I'll have that thing the day it's out! No fucking doubt!

Wait... Is it DEFINATE that it's coming out for PS2? I hope so!

Yeah Im pretty sure its coming out for PS2. I'll be buying it as soon as it comes out for PS2.

I just finished the game and all I have to say is "wow". Hands down the best game I have ever played, including story, graphics, and concept. I felt really sad for Tommy in the end and I wished the game wasn't actually over. Did you feel that way DonPalentino?

Oh well, now to start Free Ride Extreme! You know there's missions in that mode right?

In a way I did feel sad for the guy but he was a rat and he broke Omerta. So I thought it was a very fitting ending. I too wished that game would keep going I never wanted it to end.
THe Freed Ride Extream mission are wierd as hell but you do get some sweet ass cars in those missions thats for sure.
