    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.

    I can play Mafia once again and again through all theese years. I love it and the game itself looks so complete. Everything here looks so plausible, so I fell in love with this game.
    This game shows how Tom was drowning in mafia lifestyle, wich caused his downfall.
    Masterpiece from Gathering of Developers. You can't just quit since you're in :)

    Excellent game based on film noir. The plot is a central pillar of this video game, but at the same time it is not a boring game. The shooting mechanics are much more interesting than in most games of this type (even current ones). The driving is quite realistic, adding a lot to the immersion in the story. It is an excellent game, highly recommended.

    Mafia is a great game storywise but this game is really have bad gunplay mechanics and car driving i hope it change in mafia 1 definitive edition with same story. So mafia is a good game and we should try it to experince something new and different from other games atleast when we play it we don't feel like this game is trying to copy gta

The soundtrack is simply mind blowing. The game is VERY LINEAR and it was needed to maintain the tension and pacing of the story. It took me about 12 hours to complete the story. 9/10 for me.

    Everything in this is amazing but one thing is not and that is that the missions are given on the opposite of the map just so you have to drive all the way there and back.

    I haven't played this one in 10 years and decided to refresh my memory... what a good trip this was! Mafia is still a classic, that deserves a remaster/remake with better controls and graphics. Although some missions are annoying as hell and the controls leave a lot to be desired, I recommend this game for its amazing atmosphere, great characters and story. Pickens approves!

    Best game ever. Fantastic gameplay, music, story and driving.
    Everything is perfect: model textures, the cars, the buildings, the way the people talk.

    It's 2019 and Mafia is still one of the best PC games ever made. There were aspects of this game which were not replicated perhaps for 10 years or more. The attention to detail was simply exceptional. Such a shame that the sequels have gotten progressively worse.

    This has to be one of the best games I've ever played. Today it is naturally outdated, but back when it came, it was graphically phenomenal, the history blew me away and physics were way ahead of any contemporary games. A solid 10

    One of the best gangster games of all time. a GTA for adults.

    The graphics are average, but the spot where it shines is the story. Mafia story is similar to Godfather style, its full of plot twists and nice quotes, the gangster italian vibe is great in it. Characters are well written. World is semi open and nice to explore. Game is realistic. Shooting is risky and challenging and    One of the best gangster games of all time. a GTA for adults.

    Probably one of the best games I've ever played in my life. The setting is amazing, the story line is amazing, the music is amazing, the atmosphere is amazing. Kids would say bad graphics, bad physics and stuff like that. Obviously that's not an up-to-date game, but you should definitely play this one. 10/10

Да, определёно есть некоторые недочёты, например хедшот, что бы убить врага выстрелом в голову, надо в голову попасть ДВА раза, но в любой игре есть свои грешки, так что простимо. Механика стрельбы каменная, но что вы хотели в то времена? Вы хотите сказать что в Vice City лучше? Нет конечно. Стрельба хоть и каменная, но все же не плоха. Говорят что игра сложная, но для меня наоборот было слишком легко, наверное надо просто обучится механике. И это вообще одна из первых игр которую я прошел, если не первая, и её я запомню на всю жизнь. Еще не забудьте про "Большую Прогулку", пусть там вы крутого сюжета не найдете, но позалипать можно. Есть интересные миссии, я даже весной этого года их со своей мамой проходил. Можно сказать что это подраздел для всей семьи)
    Хочу сказать напоследок что я до сих пор помню каждый закоулок, каждый мусорник Потерянных Небес. Игра великолепна, игра всех времён, мне больше нечего сказать.    … Expand

    It's rare in this day and age to be truly impressed by a game's graphics, but a lot of your early game time will be spent just marveling at the scenery. [Dec 2002, p.90]

    The missions are very well linked between them and in the background you thought of a very interesting but somehow sad story.
