Mafia is rather funny game.
It is qutie much like some Mafia movie, and it?s action parts are well made and the scheme of 1930s is done well. And the missions are much more interesting than GTA?s wnb-gangster-wnb-cool-guy- stuff.
In early game, I liked that mission Running Man, somewhat realism, life before Mafia. But some missions, like Fairplay, was pretty annoying. The idea etc were great and gave you real reason to play carefully, but the racing part just drives you to nuts, or atleast it drove me. I am the worst formula driver on earth so that?s why I did not like it. Nice idea though in that part.
Also, the plot is well made. It is truly like some sort of movie, with all clich?s etc.
And action parts are well done, and as I said, the game idea works also. Relaxing driving around city before something goes wrong.
But AI was real dissapointment, like that damm mission where you were supposed to do deal with that some guy before Morello?s gorillas came and stopped the deal in parking lot, I hated the last part of it because Paulie and\or Sam always killed themselves to that grenade because they just rushed there. Had to witness that for 20 - 70 times before the mission was passed :D
But otherwise, it is great game. The AI is big letdown, and in early on, most people would give up, especially in that driving part, but it does not ruin the overall mood of 1930s, being a part of Mafia.
Even the defeated pretend to elevate their wisdom and words
