I couldn't seem to find a thread on the Mafia game so i started my own one. I first played it properly last night and i got to say,they almost ruin the game with those tedious repetitive driving missions at the start.WTF is up with that.I almost turned it off after those repeated taxi missions.But i stuck with it (mostly cause i was bored as hell) and then the game started to unfold a bit.After the first missions the game starts to get quite enjoyable and interesting.Yes there is all the mafia cliche' dialogue and chapter names,but all in all so far im loving it now.
Your thoughts....
The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters. Cus D'Amato
The PC version is the only version worth playing, IMO. I have both the PC version and PS2 version (and have played the Xbox version.) They can't hold a candle to the PC version. The console editions are plagued with extremely long load times, choppy graphics and frame rates, and terrible draw distances (although the Xbox version performs better in this area than the PS2 version.)
I'd give the PC version a 9/10, while giving the console versions a 5/10.

MAFIA is probably my favorite game of all time, I must have played it from start to finish maybe 8 times and started playing it again recently. The FreeRide Mode and FreeRide Extreme or something like that are very enjoyable as well.
They've been talking for years about making a MAFIA 2 so I can't wait for that.
Mafia was great. Awsome story line and and the car physics were amazing (one of the feature that most games in the genre lack). Lved the level when you had to drive that race car to the garage and back. Overall an amazing game.

Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

I cant believe you guys didnt like the car physics. I thought that was one of the best bits of the game because it made the game feel realistic and more enjoyable. Reminded me of Gran turismo.

The pc version of the race,was almost impossible to beat.I had to do the shortcut trick to pass it.

The car phsics were great, but the cars were too slow...

You just have to make sure to not go off road and take every turn as close as possible. Also, stay "straight" as long as you can, the second you move your car loses speed.

I didn't have the option of changing the difficulty setting!!!
BLAST!!!That would have made it so much less stressful.
