    in the New Game of the original script for 2002, I thought to see a lot more than the original. It turned out to be fewer times less, and apart from a linear plot, there is nothing in the game. The plot consists of an animated film and a dumb shooting, no matter what weapon you shoot, that there is not even a professional target for shooting.

    This is a poor remake and it was disingenuous of Hangar 13 to market it as a "faithful remake". Why? Consider the following:

    * No public transport, can't ride train or tram, can't even enter platforms. * No money system, can't buy anything. * Animations are ridiculously fast, to the point of looking comical. Mafia 1 was the opposite. * No gun shops, no restaurants to eat for health,    This is a poor remake and it was disingenuous of Hangar 13 to market it as a "faithful remake". Why? Consider the following:

    * No public transport, can't ride train or tram, can't even enter platforms.
    * No money system, can't buy anything.
    * Animations are ridiculously fast, to the point of looking comical. Mafia 1 was the opposite.
    * No gun shops, no restaurants to eat for health, nothing to do or interact with in the world.
    * No interactive gas stations with clerk.
    * Can't sit in car and turn off engine. Can't exit car with engine running. Can't turn on lights.
    * Dumb police behavior, crimes get "magically" reported even out in the country side.
    * Driving missions are hand-held and heavily rely on prescripted cutscene action events.
    * No buildings are enterable outside of missions.
    * NPCs don't respond with dialogue, and if they do its with one word.
    * Tommy has been rewritten to be a cocky d-bag, complete opposite manners to Mafia 1.
    * Same horrid LOD issues on distant objects like buildings and vehicles like Mafia 3.
    * 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.
    * Sounds are generally weaker in quality than Mafia 1. Lack of environmental audio.
    * Atrociously poor lighting, the game will fade between odd shades of white, yellow and blue.
    * Lucas Bertone missions missing from story mode.
    * Fake pretense that tries to squeeze out the "coolness" of the characters to sound modern.
    * In terms of city environment, you see the same buildings over and over again. Copy-paste.
    * Countryside is dead without any npcs. Arcady magic burning barrels that serve no purpose.
    * Cars missing from the original.
    * No ability to play as taxi driver or kill gangsters in free ride. No gangsters driving around.
    * Simulation driving mode is akin to a regular arcade driving mode, realistic physics are gone.
    * No realistic suicide doors on cars like Mafia 1.
    * No car tuning options like Mafia 2.
    * Poor damage model on cars, smash into wall at full speed does nothing.
    * The slow, methodical gameplay of Mafia 1 that increased difficulty and immersion is gone.
    * Can't open bonnet to repair car like in Mafia 2.
    * Lockpicking minigame dumbed down.
    * Majority of music from the original is missing including all Mills Brothers and Belleville.
    * Terrible gun play and cover system. Really, beyond parody.
    * No world interactivity like turning on lights, faucets, flushing toilets etc.
    * Intrusive toddler level waypoint markers telling you what to do and where to go at all times.
    * Lack of bullet detail like entry holes on car tires.
    * Bridges don't rise dynamically in freeride like in Mafia 1, they are "dead".
    * No dynamic day night cycle in freeride, it wasn't in Mafia 1, but standard for games today.

    This is 2002 vr 2020 game

    All these positive likes plus a twisted artificial image of the indicator! Not one self respecting gamer after analyzing everything WILL not put a finger on the top of this remake

    That is a lot of negative sentiment one might say. But the amount of positive reviews not even touching on the disconnect between what Hangar 13 marketed this to be and what it actually delivers honestly makes me worried for where this industry is going and I can't help to wonder about the thought process and motives behind of all these flawless masterpiece 10/10 reviews.

    For a newcomer, sure, this game might be fun for a couple of hours, albeit a pretty expensive fun. If you played the original, it is little more than a hollow shell. Moreover it is the literal definition of false advertising by Hangar 13 and 2K.    … Expand

    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

    Nearly all of the iconic missions that made this game so enjoyable have been changed to the worse: The airport mission Omerta with Frank is unrecognisable, the port mission - Lucky Bastard - is crippled to a point... its **** the prison mission - election campaign - is an easy peasy run through. Tram with train not to use. Summa summarum all the iconic missions of the original Mafia are there but they are empty, streamlined, shells.

    Probably the worst part is that the Lucas Bertone missions fully disappeared, and Yellow Pete - the secret gunshop - too. Tommy being able to arm himself up to the teeth before driving to the museum shoot out was probably the peak of the entire game (!) cause the game didnt tell you that!

    In short, this game is a total disappointment . Buy the original one, get some grapfic mods and enjoy the true and only Mafia game there ever was.

    1. Не позволяйте себя одурить: игра НЕ выглядит так, как ее презентуют на скриншотах и в трейлерах.

    Ну а что не так-то? Создалось впечатление, что почти всё не так. Вместо того, чтобы проанализировать и оставить все, за что так любили первую Мафию, ее главные изюминки просто выковыряли, вставили дешевые аркадные приемчики, а атмосферу просто убили. Нужно умудриться запороть возможность сделать шикарный римейк на шикарный оригинал.

    Что вырезали:

    Сюжет:

    - Вы не сможете заехать к Луке после очередной миссии и украть новую тачку - такого больше нет
    - Ральф больше не будет нас учить взламывать замки, вы просто это умеете
    - В большинстве случаев вам не нужно будет ехать обратно домой после миссии
    - Гонку сделали более заскриптованной
    - Не доступны поезда и трамвай
    - Отклонение от линейного сюжета прерывает всю игру

    Прогулка:

    - Нельзя поехать на поезде или трамвае
    - Банда Морелло в больше не патрулирует улицы
    - Деньги теперь всегда есть и всегда бесконечные
    - "Большая прогулка" и "Прогулка" теперь один режим, причем вы больше не найдете те безумные миссии с анлоками необычных машин - большинство просто убрали. Вместо большой прогулки - суррогат в виде парочки миссий, в качестве награды можете открыть, например костюм клоуна или золотой Томми-ган

    Общее:

    - Нормальный прицел - извольте "целиться" через огромный кружок. Кто там знает толк в извращениях?
    - Нельзя точно целиться из машины (есть автоприцел-липучка, который будет за вас фиксироваться на целой машине).
    - Почти все светофоры, но парочку оставили
    - Возможность прокатиться на трамвае / надземке. Что примечательно, боты не лишены такой возможности, но вот к поезду вы даже близко не подойдете, т.к. ворота на все станциях перевязаны цепью с замком. Забавно видеть, как боты там запертые стоят наверху.
    - Остановить / Завести двигатель
    - Здравый смысл. Пешеходы могут почти мгновенно позвать копов из ниоткуда - в Америке 30х годов без сотовых.

    - Синдром

    Не могу сдержаться и не съязвить еще раз о "современных стандартах" .. знаете что нас ждет после окончания сюжета? Журнальчики, вкладыши и лисички, Карл! Они разбросаны по всей карте, иди и собери их всех, покемон ты наш. Зачем? Для ачивки. lol

    Не рекомендую, если хотите сохранить теплые воспоминания о любимой игре.
    Просто обидно, что люди, не игравшие в оригинал, подумают, что это и есть "та самая" Mafia.    … Expand

    This is a game in the environment of cutscenes and the script is not successfully copied by not very skilled hands which is made from the original of the old game as a semi-finished product. Free walk has essentially nothing but a few short missions, the city is closed from the player that is transmitted only visually . This is the worst part of the game of all from the Mafia series.

    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.

    I laugh at the publisher that could not properly copy the original version, that only everything was reduced to a minimum (in exchange to expand the gameplay) and the free city for a walk made it dead completely meaningless for the game. I was very sorry and I will not buy any more games from this company.

    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.
