missions in this game are fun but the graphics lack a bit. the cars are realistic and the music is great to listen to in free ride.
Rating: - Mafia Version 0.5
After playing through Mafia on the PC, this Xbox port is an unexpected disappointment. In hindsight the game never should have been ported to PS2 or Xbox. All of the things that made Mafia so visually arresting on the PC were stripped or deleted from the console version. The draw distance is awful: a hazy fog obscures the beauty of Lost Heaven. The lines on the street barely paint in as the front bumper of your car passes them. The landscape is stripped of detail, leaving only the muddy textures of building surfaces that were forgiveable in the PC game. Many of the customizeable in-game options have been deleted (like the ability to manually shift your car), just adding to the dullness.
I suppose if I hadnt played the PC version first, I could have seen this as acceptable. But knowing how the city of Lost Heaven *should* look and sound leaves me with the impression of a dead, barren world on the Xbox. Get a decent computer and play that version of Mafia; it's a world of difference.

i think this is the best gangster game i ever play. the story is good,graphic is good, easy control, real life situation, and exciting in each of the scenario. i had play other gangster games, but i think this is the best.

I first played this on PC and i enjoy it, then i played it for XBOX not much the same expereince but still liked playing it...GOOD PLAY
Rating: - An all-around entertaining game!
I am all for people expressing their opinions, but I will say that this game is much better than some of the negative reviews would have you believe. The missions are fun and challenging enough to keep you interested, not frustrated, and the settings/environments are nice.
In response to some of the reviews, I would like to point out that the driving in Mafia is not difficult. It is different because it uses the triggers for acceleration and reverse as opposed to the more common button method, but it is not difficult. You will pick up on the controls and handling in no time at all.
Also, Mafia is not Grand Theft Auto, and it is not meant to be. I don't know why people continue to rate every game based on how it compares to GTA.
The only aspects of the game that may take some getting use to are the reloading and aiming techniques. It is actually a bit more realistic than other titles, but the timing will frustrate you at first. A trick that I have learned is to keep your backup weapons loaded so that you can switch to them for a quick shot when one piece is empty/reloading.
Bottom line: Whether you rent or buy, you won't be disappointed with Mafia, as it is a fun game.
