    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 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.

    This is one of the few games that pulled me in to its story and actually made me care about the main characters as they progressed through their lives. I have had this game for over 11 years now and I still play it sometimes. Mainly for the story line and characters because I actually start to miss them after about a year or so.

    If i could give this game an 11 I would :-)

It has an original story that managed to captivate me as I advanced my criminal "career", good character stories, very good voice acting, good atmosphere, good game mechanics and car driving (an element which I really enjoyed about the game), good "cinematic", and good music that combine to offer a movie type experience comparable to the one you get after seeing "The Godfather" or "Scarface". The game is from 2002 but I believe the graphics will always look nice, and when it appeared it had better graphics that the GTA games that were coming out at the time. It deserves a 10 because it's fun to play and offers me a lasting memory about it.… Expand

    Great game of the original version, this edition even in 2002 is the best to date and has more content and access to the game's locations, compared to the rotten and cheap empty MAF-DE from 2020.

    What a great game! An almost perfect game which is funny to play, but it also has a very good plot, very good graphics and excellent sound. Games like this will never be made again.

    Mafia won't hold your hand. It will push you into action and laugh at you. Difficulty curve is very steep, but nothing that can't be passed. And for game made in 2002 by a then unknown studio, Mafia raised the gaming standard by a mile.

    I cant really say anything else about this game that hasn't already been said in other comments. Its one of the best games ever made, with a mature plot and believable characters,in a time when PC games really stood out.

    Story, Graphics, Dialogues and I dont know what else were all perfect. I played this game last year again and even for 12 y/o game it still is very nice. At the time it was pure epic masterpiece.

    As a gamer I say this game is my favorite game. I've played thousands of games all my life but none of them has ever had such an atmosphere. Of Course this is my subjective opinion.

    This is the best edition as the original of 2002 in the best form today and always for all days of life time! A game for the ages! We loved the quality of games in those past years and were proud of it! This is the only version of the original MAFIA game !

    MAFIA is a game of extreme spectrum: narratively one of the best, however gameplay-wise one of the worst.

    Some of the shootouts and "that race" are punishingly difficult, but you'll want to persevere for a romantic and cinematic gangster tale that alludes to mafia movies like Once Upon a Time in America and Goodfellas. One of the greatest games to use the Grand Theft Auto clone format, and one of the earliest.

    I think everyone knows about this piece of art. Absolute legend in the game industry. Story telling is better than in some AAA movies.

    This is my number 1 game and I would recommend it for sure!

    Mafia for PC is a timeless game, It could have been launched in 2010 year and continue being the best game of the year. Awesome, really awesome game, one of the best ever, and probably the second best sandbox of the history after Red Dead Redemption. Brutal game. Brutal game.

    My favorite game on PC. In the game everything is worked out to the smallest details.
    Great atmosphere of the 30's.

    To all who have not played, I recommend doing this.

    The first mafia is a classic, even in 2018, the game is fun and cheerful. In some places, it is even hardcore, definitely taking to play and re-play.

    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!

    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.
