    Yet Mafia oozes class, polish, and style like no other game so far this year. To not "experience" Mafia is a far greater crime than any in the Salieri family ever committed.

    The question here is: why don't you own this game already? This is an excellent game.
  3. Gamers' Temple

    Outside of my complaint with the racing level and a few very minor issues, Mafia is a really immersive game. The story is very good, and the cutscenes and voice acting are of the highest caliber.
  4. Total Video Games

    For a superbly crafted single player experience you probably won’t find many to touch it, everything combines to create such a cinematic experience that you can’t help but find yourself completely encompassed into it.
  5. PC Format

    As cinematic games go, Mafia is in a league of its own.
  6. Gamer's Pulse

    I really enjoyed the missions, and even though they could be tough, the movie-like atmosphere makes for a truly compelling gaming experience.
  7. Computer Gaming World

    The pacing seems a little off in this game, and to compound the issue, there's no in-mission save. [Dec 2002, p.120]

    Probably one of the best games I have played. I don't know why everyone is complaining with XP. I have Windows XP Service Pack 2 and itProbably one of the best games I have played. I don't know why everyone is complaining with XP. I have Windows XP Service Pack 2 and it works fine. Even though its been out for a long time, still worth getting it and playing it. Even after you beat the main game, there is still other parts of the game to finish before truly "beating" it.

    Definately a great game.    … Expand

Отличное звуковое сопровождение. Саундрек хорошо подобран к атмосфере тех времен. И еще одним плюсом является интерактивная музыка. Управление непривычное для такого вида игры и достаточно непривычный интерфейс. В итоге атмосферная отличная игра на 9/10… Expand

    Probably one of the best games ever in its genre. The atmosphere, the storyline and the great deal of possibilities left to the player are Probably one of the best games ever in its genre. The atmosphere, the storyline and the great deal of possibilities left to the player are all well composed and fit seamlessly together. The artistic detail of the virtual world (city and exteriors) is astonishing as for the date of release. There is just one emminent drawback to the game. The player cannot save during missions, so he must start the whole mission all over again, if he dies. But, after some time one becomes used to it and develops survival techniques to prevent rash deaths. Even though some technical glitches remain, even after the release of patches, the concept of the game and the devotion it was made with qualifies it for highest rankings. I not only recommand everyone just to play it, but to even recommand it further!… Expand

    I am 16 years old. It's been 9 years since I first played this game on socket 462. This is still my favorite game, a true masterpiece.
