    An abbreviated story, remade in many places not as the original version, but too weakly and simply to create this piece of parody for sales like the Mafia brand.
    The Free City of Freeride has nothing to play with. All facilities are closed and there is no way to use trams and elevated metro for movement.

    This is a flawed version of the game spoiled from the original and is short-cut. Freeride has nothing to play with in town for fun. Not a successful game from the Mafia series :(

    One of the most and Rarest features that mafia 1 had was car fuels. Every cars in that game had fuel meter and they would running out by driving them . you could go to the gas stations and the Gas guy would came and refuel your cars which was very interesting. Also if bullets penetrated to your gas pump , it would make a hole and fuels could go empty faster .

    Urban Metro and Air Metro were two public transportations which you could enter them and transfer between city places . now in the remake Dev's closed their doors.

    In classic game when you had allies on your side like Pauli and Sam , They Had Health Bar just like you . they could die if they took bullets and even you could shoot them and reduce their health or even kill them. This feature made the game much harder and you needed to careful and watch your allies back too. they removed this feature in remake.

    Now I'm amazed how blind connoisseurs And especially the critics, put this game a positive score!? This game is difficult to call the game 2020 BEFORE the masterpieces of those past years from 2002 - compare and now evaluate on the actual component!    … Expand

There are three things we most desperately want. Firstly, we'd love a DLC, with well-loved characters from the game. Extra gameplay and missions which tell the largely untold stories of how Sam and Paulie came to be in the family or the beginnings of the war between Morello and Salieri are desperately wanted. As fans, we want to see more from these characters that are even more incredibly interesting and complex thanks to the improved story and script. It would be even better to see the actors of the main characters in the DE return to continue their roles in a DLC, including the likes of Andrew Bongiorno (Tommy), Glenn Taranto (Don Salieri), Don DiPetta (Sam), Jeremy Luke (Paulie), Steven Oliver (Frank), Bella Popa (Sarah) etc.

    Secondly, Photo Mode is a desperate want. The game is beautiful and many of the missions allow for incredible views, unique locations and incredible effects for photos. This mode will allow players to take the photos they desperately want in a game that calls for it because of its beauty. It will also open up more space for community creation, as fans will be able to share what they produce, keeping the game interesting and exciting.

    Furthermore, the fans would love to see more content and additional gameplay for Free Ride. These could include being able to use more transportation (trains, trams) and open more spaces for exploration that were used in the game like the prison, different character's homes, the airport, the race track just to name a few. Additions of clothing stores and other interactable shops/business would be welcome too. In terms of gameplay, the fans would love to be able to battle against other gangs in this mode that can be initiated by the player or in new side missions. These could include taking over a gang hideout, stopping booze/merchandise runs, infiltrating businesses etc Characters like Vincenzo and Lucas Bertone could give players missions to do.

    This game has always been loved ever since the original came out in 2002. Now that the game has been released again, fully remade with beautiful graphics, a perfected story and script, amazingly talented cast of actors and updated gameplay, we want to see more added so that we can enjoy it even more.

    If you would like to see more content and exciting gameplay for Mafia Definitive Edition, please sign and share so that Hangar 13 Games and 2K will see that we desperately want this to happen.

It's linear, but there's something magical about this classic 1930's mob story. I can remember how inspiring it was at 13, and it definitely brought back fond memories, and made some new ones. Driving is a lot of fun, the cars feel great. The shooting mechanics didn't bother me as much as some, but definitely nothing innovative going on. Headshots are effective. I prefer this over a game like Division where you have to shoot someone a thousand times to fall.

    On the downside, let's be real, the open world is pretty pointless. It's nice to have the option to just cruise, but there's nothing to do more than look around. Sight seeing should be had, but it won't fill you up for too long.
    Overall if you're looking for a solid mob story during the prohibition era, I would highly recommend!

    Let me start with the conclusion, and afterwards put the details. The game is good, I do not regret purchasing it. I would have, had it been 60 instead of 40. However, I am still a bit disappointed. As I find, it can't quite reach the original game because of ommission of content and details. Maybe there will be DLC's so ideally buy it later and/or in sale.

Maybe there will be DLC's so ideally buy it later and/or in sale.

    On the details, the upsides and the downsides in no particular order and with no guarantee of completeness:

    * Trams and Trains cannot be used anymore. This removes a unique detail of the game and with it some free ride fun. Actually, this is mayor.

    * Cars handle great and the ability to drive in manual was kept. This is good to see :)

    * Police alert and wanted system needs work. Police spawns only in predefined places, but when wanted, they spawn more or less next to you within SECONDS.

    * There is still a free ride mode. No money system, but you have all cars and SOME weapons available. Grenades, Molotovs and the sniper rile are NOT! This removes major sources of fun and mayhem..

    * East Marshal Bridge no longer gets pulled up in Free Ride mode.

    * The graphics are state of the art and quite beautiful! The lighting gets pretty bad in some cases however: Light bleeding in shadowy areas, water-like reflections where there shouldn't be any, and dark light transitions are way over the top. But it's fine most of the time.

    * The story and characters were given a bit more depth. For the most part, this was well done!

    * The missions got a bit easier and quite linear, but in contrast to the original, certain missions can be done partial or full stealth. There is also a cover system for whoever needs it. They took however the ability to shoot while crouched, which is weird. The Lucas Bertone missions got removed and cars are unlocked by progression instead of Ralph.

    * The free ride extreme missions are included in free ride, but reduced in numbers. Added were a number of collectibles throughout the missions and free ride.    … Expand

    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.
