General Comments

The minute I saw the first review for Mafia from Gathering of Developers I knew I had to get it, so when the first chance came I bought it. Mafia is set in the 1930's during the ending of the prohibition and the beginning of the depression. Of course you can expect some of the missions to involve bootlegging. You are Tommy Angelo during the depression have a job as a cab driver, you find youself lucky to have a job unlike some people during the depression, when one night some mobsters need your help, you need to drive them...away from other shooting mobsters, eventually the mobsters that were chasing you hunt you down and you yourself turn to a mobster. The cars in this game are as detailed as they are in real life, I know I have seen what some of them look like. But dont expect high speed chases, its the 1930's, sometimes the cars wont turn over for a few seconds. Some of the voice-acting is crummy but its only the minor characters of the game so you dont have to worry to much. You have 12 square miles of mobster-stricken city to ride around and 20 missions not including side missions. I dont know why some people compare Mafia to Grand Theft Auto, I dont know why it doesnt say "this is exactly like Grand Theft Auto" or anything like that. Mafia is much more into the stories and realistic (you can get pulled over, get a ticket, cant go through red lights, or speed) then into the driving around and killing everyone. Mafia will probably be one of my favorite games until I die.
