    In the third part there was at least an open city with a game in it. And DE is by playability chapters with tasks on which you just go non-stop.
    In the "walking around the city" everything is closed, you will not be allowed even on the tram for npc and the train station doors are locked which was for playing in the original Mafia.
    For 2020, as a game - it sucks.
    Trim the original, turning it into a much more boring game.

    If you want nostalgia - it is better to play the original.
    It's a DE game of shaming that doesn't cause anything but surprise how much those who did it in general didn't care about the final product and the joys of the players.

    If you've played the original Mafia 1, and are hoping that the "Definitive Edition"would be an improvement on that, you'd be disappointed.

    I didn't think that after a year, the game was never finished. Not introduced a unit of currency money, not expanded the story (as made it short not complete) no interaction in freeride.
    We all Mafia fans just got screwed for our money.

    All you had to do was refresh the original game, not change it... Unfortunately this game is empty, shallow. I don't understand why someone feels like changing something when we are talking about a freakin remake...

    The story is cut and remade in a ridiculous way. Music is close to non existent, contrary to original where the music was on practically all the time. Side mission with Luca    All you had to do was refresh the original game, not change it... Unfortunately this game is empty, shallow. I don't understand why someone feels like changing something when we are talking about a freakin remake...

    The story is cut and remade in a ridiculous way. Music is close to non existent, contrary to original where the music was on practically all the time. Side mission with Luca are gone, Ralphie practically gives us 2-3 cars the entire game. There is no free time in between the missions, it's like introduction, fast forward to action, some shooting and then boom, next mission. No side talks with Sam and Paulie, just jumping from action to action.

    In the original we were feeling the world development, as the years passed, the cars got better and you could really feel that changes in the city. Here there is practically no difference at all, not that it matters as there is not a chance to even know the city, if the mission allows driving the target is usually really close.

    So the story/characters were ready, all the devs had to was refresh the graphics and maybe even add something new to the story, but no, let's shorten the story and change it and don't even think about adding some content... If you wanted to write new story just create a new game, oh whoops, I forgot you made one, Mafia III which was utterly booring (at least the music was fine there).

    To sum up, this game is not worth the money. The graphic is good, but all else, just not worth it, and if you are a fan of the original, it's painful to play this game knowing how they ruined such good story.

    I'm pretty sure I will play original game many times again (already did like 4 times) but I doubt I will ever play definitive edition again...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mafia 3: Tommy Angelo DLC. Let's get into the positive things:
    -Lost Heaven looks great.
    -Some sounds are good.
    -The cut scenes are good.

    Now let me explain why is a 10/10 game:
    -Lost Heaven people are suffering brain damage, the AI lost Tommy if he's over a box, they also run to random spots and some times friendly AI doesn't shoot.
    -They do a good effort with the random people fighting animation on the street, but you open doors with your mind faster than a bullet. Also the melee animation is awful, you always elude with the same animation whether the enemy has a knife or a baseball bat.
    -People is cover in oil, because when it's raining, they ain't wet at all, unless they are in a cut scene 'cause there is where we draw the line.
    -Gunplay is great, you can get in cover like in Gears of War, throw grenades like in Gears of War, don't recognize when you are low in health like in GoW and run raising hell to the enemy like in Gears of War. Sadly you ain't playing Gears of War and Tommy ain't a trained soldier. Also, death animations are taken from Hentai Hitler.
    -There is a stealth gameplay, sadly for this Mafia 3 DLC , they didn't change the horrible stealth system from the original mafia 3. Tommy is cover in lethal poison, 'cause hugging someone from behind it's immediately dead.
    -There is a simulation driving option, sadly you are simulating the arcade driving, because those options are the same.

    Something good about this remake/dlc is the rewriting they did to the story, because Tommy Angelo in the original was a **** with feelings and all that **** luckily they changed that. Spoilers ahead. In the Corleone Hotel mission, Tommy is sent to kill the manager and a girl. In the original, Tommy understand that the girl did nothing wrong and is all Salieris guys fault, so he let she alive. In this version, Sam explain to you why you shouldn't kill the girl 'cause Hangar 13 know you are stupid enough to don't get it.
    That's not all the rewriting they did, there is also the Frank mission, in the original, Tommy kill people until he get to Frank and understand that kill that guy isn't a good idea 'cause he was your friend and all that sentimental stuff. In this version they just look at each other, Tommy was about to shoot but Hangar 13 remember that Tommy let him alive, so Frank get in the plane (Also the plane looks uglier than the plane in the original). Then the Canadian mission, 3 guys in a truck against half the cops and a **** TANK, spoilers Tommy wins (I think they saw some random mission in GTA and copy past it). The Morello's brother mission, the one that every one remembers from the original, the long shooting at the port, the mind blowing thing with the train and how Tommy understand that every one that live by the sword, die by the sword. TOO MUCH THINKING LET'S MAKE TOMMY DRIVE A BIKE (Also, the bike riding is awful, feels like you are moving a wheelchair, and they don't have any kind of ragdoll, so when you fall off, they just rotate tommy 270° and make him get up. With that said, let's continue) WHILE MORELLO'S MAN SHOOT AT HIM AND THEN YOUR FRIENDS CRASH A CAR BUT YOU CONTINUE AND WHEN MORELLO'S BROTHER GET IN THE PORT TOMMY **** SLIDE OUT THE BIKE WHILE SHOOT. HE WAS A **** CAB DRIVER, WHAT A **** IS WRONG WITH HANGAR 13. You solve a easy shooting and the game tells you move a lever, so a train crashes a random door and you get that there is where morello's brother is. Tommy follows him to a place full of explosive barrels, Tommy laughs and throw a zippo to him so everything should explode and kill both. But Hangar 13 pays to the fire to don't blow the hole thing up until Tommy get to a save area, THE END. The kill Morello mission is even worst, things happen, you shoot a plane down, and that happen, the plane get's down. In this version Hangar 13 pays gravity to make the plane cross to a random spot in the other side of the town so Tommy can kill the Morello in the middle of the street ???????. To realize how much they don't get the original just let me tell you this, at the end they show you how Vito and Joe kill Tommy, also they change Joe face for third time, then they show you how the family cry over Tommy's chest and all that sentimental **** AND END UP WITH A **** RAP SONG, A GAME BASED IN THE OLD DAYS 30', RAP, 30' RAP.
    The sad thing about this is that the already use the bullet of remake, so we lost the opportunity to see the Tommy Angelo story in some solid and complete game. That was so sad, HANGAR 13 plays sad rap song.

    Also they sold that big pile of **** full price xd.    … Expand

    * Empty gas stations with no workers in there.
    * You can't sit in a car and turn off the engine. Can't exit the car with the engine running. Can't use turn lights.
    * Crimes are reported even out in the countryside by invisible witnesses.
    * Sometimes police ignore dead bodies and only fine you for shooting people.
    * This super-stupid bump at the end of every cutscene, even if the cutscene is already overwhelmed with action.
    * Some dumb cutscenes, like one in the 15th chapter, where short-range submachine-gun shots don't wound a car driver/Morello nor do they immobilize the vehicle.
    * Horrid LODs on distant objects like buildings and vehicles.
    * Terrible AI.
    * Pop-in galore, to the point of cars and trains popping in right in front of you.
    * Textures are generally low resolution even on maxed settings. Heavy dithering. Extremely outdated graphics. No MSAA, FXAA, TAA settings in the graphics menu.
    * Sounds are generally weaker in quality than Mafia's. Lack of environmental audio. Guns sound like water guns.
    * Poor missions in Freeride Extreme that go further to unfold the crucial weaknesses of the core gameplay - the gunplay, the driving physics and the car damage model.
    * Magical concrete bushes in the countryside as an excuse to limit the ingame world.
    * No ability to kill gangsters in free ride. No gangsters driving around. No day/night cycle and money in the freeride. No ability to set the traffic and police density for the freeride.
    * Poor 1930s drift simulator. Cars of the 1930s feel like cars of the future. Mafia is ain't no Need For Speed.
    * Poor damage model on cars, smash into a wall at full speed does nothing. Cars don't bend into any shape like they did 18 years ago.
    * Devs-liars claimed this will feature an expanded story, but this game is shorter than Mafia II.
    * On classic difficulty, reload of pump-action rifles, rifles and revolvers make you lose unused ammo in the clip against any sense.
    * Soundtrack sounds like Woody Woodpecker OST. Really, beyond parody.
    * Terrible gunplay and cover system. Instead of a recoil, bullets are flying angled to the gun barrel like in CS:GO. You can't hit anyone.
    * The total absence of any bullet holes makes it even more impossible to analyze the bullet dispersion. Also, shells and clips aren't on the ground like they were 18 years ago.
    * Enemies don't stun when they suffer damage. They keep moving to cover when wounded in a leg.
    * Bullet wounds don't break off hostile melee attacks, not even for armless foes.
    * Intrusive toddler level waypoint markers telling you what to do and where to go at all times.
    * Outright horrible physics. When in the air, cars barely roll around the axises.    … Expand

    Sorry to say, very disappointing. It has very good graphics, but that's it. Drive here, do this, watch cut-scene, repeat. No fun at all after an hour or so. The control scheme is a button-mashing nightmare, and it seems like every new release in this series removes more and more of what made the previous ones fun.

No more stealing a car if yours craps out, no work to train and trams of city (the original had a train-tram for the player!) no access to them,no selling them for money, no shosp, no repair garages or car upgrades, no suit changes . . .just no excuse for this at all. The music sucks, just a badly rendered version of 30's-type instrumentals, and the voice acting is a ham-handed farce of gangster stereotypes at best.

    If they would have simply stuck with Mafia 2-style gameplay and added the time period and very good graphics improvements they actually did get right here, they would have hit it out of the park . . .but this sadly misses at every turn, sad really, it could have been so much better . . .

    A very short game cut out 30% of the content from the original version. in Free mode cut 90% of all that was a joy to play the original. This "corona virus covid" game is made stupidly and very stupidly, easy and simple to let it into release for disappointment.

    Really waited for an update for the New Year 2021, but realized one thing:
    The developer just picked up and copied the not-quite-good way the original 2002 game. Made it not accurately and clumsily, the missions are shortened and cut in a rough way, even less than it was in the original version, there is no interaction of the tram with the train for the game. What the hell is this "Walk"    Really waited for an update for the New Year 2021, but realized one thing:

    It's just not a good copy of the original And if you want a real game in this series - it's a real original from 2002, where you will see and feel the real game.    … Expand

    Oh my god, the game has been ruined and it's a freaking stupid twisted remake and an empty world of no action. The whole story of the legend is turned inside out! This piece of crap should have another name. Don't play it unless you want a stab of disappointment compared to the original.

    Hangar13 Games Studio ! You should have made a full-fledged freeride in the game, since you introduced it into the main game! Hangar13 are just lazy people who do not respect their product!

    Crap happens, but it happened with the so-called DEFINITIVE EDITION of the MAFIA game! Not self-respecting Hangar-13 at least would understand what makes the history of the MAFIA game and just made a CASTRATED puppy. What a laziness in this work, there are no patches, you can only expect from experienced modders, maybe they, like the 2nd mafia, will also revive the game.

    I did not expect that bought the game after a year, it nebylo not a single update. The story is greatly reduced, in the free ride can not use the famous streetcar and train, as it was in the 1st original game. This game is not finished until the finale and apparently it was abandoned without refinement.

    Beautiful graphics and great cinematics and thats about it. It will take you less than 10 hours to complete this game. It has simple game mechanics and difficulty. No side quests or any reason to explore the world, even less than in the distant original that there is no to use trains with trams in the walk. This game is not worth the full asking price, I would only get it if its $30 orBeautiful graphics and great cinematics and thats about it. It will take you less than 10 hours to complete this game.

    This is a full-fledged, honest to God remake. Some changes to the story will upset hardcore fans, but I think this approach is absolutely justified. Even though this remake is not as amazing as new versions of Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy 7, it’s still a worthy update.

    The main difference between the remake and the original game is that the latter was outstanding for its time, while the Definitive Edition is “merely” good. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth your time. What’s crucial here is the fact that Hangar 13 approached the original’s narrative with proper respect and refrained from changing it too much. Mafia: Definitive Edition might not be remarkable as an open-world action game, but it still has the story worthy of the most revered gangster movies. [12/2020, p.28]

    Mafia: Definitive Edition is a remake of mixed flavours. Some elements are just as they used to be, and it's great. Some elements are just as they used to be, and it's awful. Mixture of aged mechanics and amazing graphics, new voices, great old story and some added, yet bad storylines, make it not such a perfect remake. But it sure is worth your time, whether you are a fan of the original or not. The moral of the story survived in all its glory, just be sure to focus your attention to the details where Mafia used to and still shines the most.
