Also crashes occasionally. I was originally impressed with the game, but soon realized it was the same thing over and over. Lots of pointless driving and collecting. Too bad...good potential here. Wish I had waited for a sale.… Expand

   Mafia 3 feels like a merge between the GTA and Assassin's Creed series, as it takes elements from both. And the result works really well! ItMafia 3 feels like a merge between the GTA and Assassin's Creed series, as it takes elements from both. And the result works really well! It may not have the most stunning graphics out there, but they're definitely very good. It does come with a few bugs, but in my first 6 hours of playing I only experienced one instance of the game crashing. I haven't experienced any major annoying bug otherwise. The storytelling is stellar and gives the missions a purpose, something that I felt was missing in GTA5. Gameplay is fun too. If you like open world games and are willing to go through many cut scenes that tell you a very well scripted story, you will love this game.… Expand

   Xbox One. I'm suprised at the low review scores. Mafia 3 has a wonderfully detailed and lively environment, streets and residential areas feelXbox One. I'm suprised at the low review scores. Mafia 3 has a wonderfully detailed and lively environment, streets and residential areas feel more alive than most games i've played and it's the main source of praise from me, the city has great flow, they've made it very accessible, especially on foot. Random encounters were well thought out, conversations both on the street and with characters were relevant to my progress within the story. The world was so lovely to be in that I often found myself listening out a top song and simply watching the world go by before entering a mission marker. The gameplay and story were both very good, it all felt crisp and well written, I loved the call out system for guns, cars and bank. The soundtrack is, by far, the best I've ever heard and was worth the price alone, it will never be bettered in a game. The driving took a while to get used to but after a few hours and some upgrades it became a really enjoyable experience with some epic drifts and high speed close shaves, the traffic density is just right, and with that soundtrack I often found myself getting in the zone.
   
   A few down sides, a few more side missions and some side activities would be nice. It require's a more detailed combat system, especially melee. Father James is painful to listen too and his character is unconvincing, can - he - talk - any - slower. Lighting is unstable. The game crashed 3 times in roughly 40 hours of play. Frame rate dropped a tiny bit at points towards the end of the game. The solid bushes everywhere felt a little bit quick and cheap, bushes aren't solid objects! Give us the option to create a save point, we should be free to save, load and back up as we please.
   
   Despite some lighting issues I think the game has been very well tested which most don't agree with, it was a pleasure to play, a thoroughly enjoyable experience with some innovative touches.… Expand

   Hangar 13 did an excellent job with Mafia 3, especially with the story and the cutscenes, and amazing sound and music. But unfortunately theyHangar 13 did an excellent job with Mafia 3, especially with the story and the cutscenes, and amazing sound and music. But unfortunately they eliminated the game from Game of the year awards for two reasons which is most important thing in a good video game, first the missions they are repetitive! You only have one mission everytime! Go make some damage and make them lose money, Steal, Destroy, Kill. That's it and the second reason is the AI they are completely stupid! Even on Hard Difficult it become so easy cause of the AI.
   In the end, they really did a good job here and maybe they can avoid the mistakes they've done in Mafia 3.… Expand

   The game itself has potential to be so much more than it turned out to be.

   I completed the game in about 25-30 hours and decided to sell it afterwards. The game has its positives and negatives and I'll try to mention most of them during my review.
   
   At first I was very excited to enter New Bordeaux as Lincoln Clay and start progressing through the game. It didn't take long for the game to become rather repetitive however. All you do is pretty much drive from A to B, kill a bunch of enemies/steal cash at a hideout to harm the boss sitting on the district. Rinse and repeat through the districts and that's about it. The final missions at a district will however spice things up a bit - and these missions are actually kinda entertaining.
   
   You'll get rewarded with $$ as you complete missions but there's not a lot of ways to spend money in the game. You can buy weapons/call for mobster support etc. but you'll get a good amount of weapons without spending a penny tbh. I would have preferred the option to buy houses/buildings/garages. Also I would have preferred the option to store vehicles of my choice. It's not like Mafia 1 or 2 where you decide which vehicles to store - in Mafia III you'll just get a few cars and that's it.
   
   The skybox looks like a bad version of a Nintendo 64 skybox and the weather will change all the time - it's almost comical to watch the changes in the weather - from sunny to rainy in 0.5 seconds. Also I felt a lack of enjoyment while driving around New Bordeaux. The jumps around the city are not suited for the cars - I've seen several cool jumps that my car (even at 135 mph) didn't manage to do properly. On top of this the game has several bugs. Sidemissions like "Are we cool" can not be completed as they're glitches. You'll see flying cars, cars with no collision and missions objectives that won't spawn several times during a play through - that of course is not acceptable at all.
   
   The positives of this game are the soundtrack, the voice acting and the story. The gameplay will be fun at times and it had me entertained, but it did not live up to my expectations at all :( I would recommend buying the game when all the bugs/glitches are fixed and a customization update for Lincoln and cars has been released, but as of right now, the game only seems 90% done… Expand

   Uno de los peores juegos que he jugado de lejos. Historia malísima, mecánicas simples y repetitivas a mas no poder y muchos bugs.
