Mafia Review (no fat)

Game Description

Mafia is not an adventure game, it's not a driving game, and it isn't a shooter. Mafia is a world in which you have to discharge some missions. Tommy is one of the principal characters and he proves us what means to be a gangster.

Mafia Gameplay

:

The story for Mafia is strong, well thought out, interesting and well-paced with an impressive voice talent. While the 20 missions of the game are vigorously linear, there is little limit to how you can complete them thanks to the working cityscape.

Tommy becomes a gangster and has the opportunity to take revenge on the people that had harmed him. He is expressing to a police detective serious remorse concerning his employment with the Salieri family. Your missions begin at a Italian restaurant and there are 20 missions, of varying lengths and difficulty, integrated perfectly with the plot. The building architecture, the cars, the speech, and the music are all done with perfection. Objectives include fixing a car race, protecting a woman from criminals, taking revenge and others.

You have some choice as to how to approach the individual missions, you have 12 different weapons, including a Colt revolver, grenades, a pump action and when you shoot people, you can see what part of their bodies you hit. The gameplay is equally parts driving and part gun slinging action. You will receive a mission, pick a car, drive to the mission and shoot, destroy. Though, this way is invariable and become annoying.

Of course, we all know that Mafia is rated for blood and violence, but also the steeple chase is quite fun, just very time-consuming. It takes several laps simply to get familiar with the course, several more to understand how fast your car can safely take corners, several more still to get used to racing in a crowd.

Mafia Graphics

Everything in the game is just that much more real, but the difference is in the style. The game takes the idea of the bustling city to a new level with an awe-inspiring sense of detail. The models are wonderfully well done, the textures are done pretty well too and the animations are good to boot.

Without doubt, the game deserves all our attention. There are sixty vintage cars with about a bazillion polygons each, unparalleled texture detail, densely furnished indoor areas. Gameplay ranges from fantastic to kind of fun weighing much more heavily on the fantastic side.

Mafia Sounds

Even the music in the game, is absolutely exquisite. The swing music to the orchestrated score ranges from the dramatic to the tense to the relaxing sound of the more personal and character building moments. The music just brings the game to a mightier cinematic level.

Mafia Overall Impressions

This game shows us how it is possible that such a valuable, respectable and honourable man could also be so violent and vindictive. In the end, what story could be more interesting when you have in your own hands a town, two gangs, crooked cops, shooting, chasing, and stealing

Mafia is a pretty game, perhaps it's a little melodramatic, but it makes the level interesting to look at and even more fun to play. There's no limit, the game create an unreal world and propose to complete interesting objectives. As you progress, the action become more dynamics, but in the same time quite fun.
