    Now I know why 2K decided to hold review copies of Mafia III until launch. The game -- which could've and should've been great, given the quality of those before it -- is a buggy, repetitive and downright boring mess. It saddens me to say it, but it's true.

    This incompetent dev can't even be bothered to optimize a game for fixed hardware. This game has wonky performance, regular crashes, poor drawThis incompetent dev can't even be bothered to optimize a game for fixed hardware. This game has wonky performance, regular crashes, poor draw distance, poor car handling and average graphics. Don't give those money who don't deserve it. Buy this on sale or better yet wait for the complete edition since they have chock full of DLC planned already. What a let down.… Full Review »

    Mafia 3 content in the one sentence - go there, kill everything, return back and do it again. That simple it is. Sure, game has great sound,Mafia 3 content in the one sentence - go there, kill everything, return back and do it again. That simple it is. Sure, game has great sound, good driving system, not bad combat with simple stealth and works with racism controversy in game world. But there is a ton of stupidities witch kills whole fun.

    For example, why I have to set up, if takedowns will be done by knife or not in the game options menu next to settings of subtitles? Why it is not just in weapon selection like in other normal games? Why is the city full of bars, shops or gas stations, but there is no option to interact ? Why "car garage" in this game means just a menu with nine prepared and locked models? I want to steal and save my own cars and than customize it. Why police have a "attention warning bar", but do not react at nothing less than car demolition? Why is not possible to kindnapp anyone? It is a Mafia game and it was also in trailer.

    This game is clear copy of the universal Ubisoft game, it is more like AC, but in the bad way. Almost everything negative from the universal Ubisoft game template is included in this game, including "towers" for unlock visibility of map items . It has nothing common with the GTA. No side activities, no car tuning or stealing, no character customization. XO version has no special graphics, older GTA looks much better.

    And I am not a GTA fanboy, I don't think, that GTA is the top of the gaming world. But I have expected something similar in a freedom, in a style, but with Mafia theme philosophy.    … Full Review »

    This Game is a technical mess! First the good things... The Story seems not so bad at all, actually quite good and the sounds from the radioThis Game is a technical mess! First the good things... The Story seems not so bad at all, actually quite good and the sounds from the radio and while in missions are fantastic, but on the technical side, this game is a huge ugly mess. Game crashes all the time while loading, missions stands still and its only possible to move on after restart the game. The Game lags while driving so bad, if its a racing game you would have headache after 20 minutes. (Good you dont have to drive all the time). Elements pop in while you in front of them (for example - in night the lights fom the bars and so on, are just popping when you right before it - UGLY). Graphic errors all the time. This Game is just not finished! Its a shame!… Full Review »
