  • Summary: Play the role of Tommy, a man unhappy with his job as a driver in the Mafia. You control Tommy through the streets of 1930's American city, complete with simulated traffic and authentic buildings. Unwillingly accept assignments such as mob hits, car chases, bootlegging, shootouts, assassinations and bank robberies. Drive over 60 cars based on real models from the 30's. Choose from over 12 weapons ranging from baseball bats to the Tommy gun, to deal with those that dare to cross your path. In the Mafia, there's never a dull moment. Expand

  1. Everything about the game oozes both style and the replication of a 1930s era is second to none.
  2. Mafia's real crime, though, is that it's a very good game wrapped in an absolute technical mess. [June 2004, p.74]
  3. A decent game with realistic if not frustrating driving sequences and an intriguing storyline.
  4. The bland graphics, clunky controls, and atrocious load times (nearing 40 seconds in some instances) are nearly insurmountable shortcomings.
