Із Mafia я познайомився ще в шкільні роки. Після GTA вона спочатку здалася мені доволі скромною. Тоді я ще не розумів, що Mafia робить ставку не на свободу й хаос, а на історію та атмосферу. Вона не намагається бути веселим симулятором безладу у відкритому світі, а розповідає справжню гангстерську історію, яка й сьогодні здатна зачепити. Щоправда, пройти її школярем я так і не зміг. Уже перші місії здавалися випробуванням рівня «переможи боса в Dark Souls звичайною палицею». Повністю пройти гру мені вдалося лише вже в дорослому віці. І знаєте що? Легше вона не стала. Стрільба досі відчувається дуже незручною, машини керуються так, ніби їдеш по льоду, а будь-яка погоня може закінчитися провалом. Варто поліції або бандитам сісти тобі на хвіст, і шансів утекти залишається небагато. Особливо якщо на черговому повороті тебе вже чекає стовп, який, здається, спеціально підбіг під машину. На початку гра ще поводиться доволі поблажливо, але далі просто перестає тебе жаліти. На повне проходження в мене пішло близько 20 годин, і нервів за цей час було витрачено не менше. Горіло в мене тоді знатно. Найбільше запам'яталися місії. Вони тут дуже різноманітні й майже кожна відчувається по-своєму. Сьогодні ти працюєш таксистом, завтра вже береш участь у масштабній перестрілці, післязавтра тікаєш від поліції або штурмуєш добре укріплені позиції ворога. Деякі епізоди я пам'ятаю й досі. Штурм аеропорту мало не змусив мене видалити гру. Потім був порт, де потрібно вагоном протаранити двері ангара, і якщо щось пішло не так, ласкаво просимо на початок місії. А перестрілка на автостоянці... Там союзники дохли як мухи, поки я намагався зрозуміти, кого рятувати першим. У якийсь момент уже здавалося, що Mafia отримує задоволення від того, як у мене горить жопа. Окремо хочеться відзначити місто Lost Heaven. Воно не створене для хаосу, як у GTA, зате чудово працює на атмосферу. Різні райони, трамваї, поліція, яка стежить за перевищенням швидкості, і загальний дух Америки 30-х років роблять свою справу. Навіть зараз місто не здається бездушною декорацією. Не менш вдало вийшли й персонажі. Томмі Анджело, Полі, Сем і Дон Сальєрі запам'ятовуються надовго, а їхні взаємини змушують переживати за події значно більше, ніж у багатьох сучасних іграх. Саме завдяки їм Mafia відчувається не просто грою про мафію, а справжнім гангстерським фільмом, у якому ти сам стаєш частиною цієї історії. Так, сьогодні гра дуже незручна, місцями відверто жорстока й здатна неабияк потріпати нерви. Але попри всі її недоліки Mafia для мене назавжди залишиться легендою. Це одна з тих ігор, які варто пройти хоча б раз заради сюжету, атмосфери та фіналу, який ще довго не виходить із голови. Але якщо хочеться отримати ті самі емоції без постійного бажання рознести клавіатуру об стіну, я все ж порадив би ремейк.
TLDR; While it is no doubt an interesting game and [i]can[/i] be very enjoyable at times, it is also an excruciatingly painful and annoying hassle at times. Mafia is a good example of ambition getting the better of a game. Its impressive seeing what the developers were able to pull off with a relatively smaller budget, but that only goes so far when playing the actual game beyond something being neat here and there is either a chore or, to more sincerely explain my feelings, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pain in the ass... which even then, 90% of the time of which is an understatement. From the awful, awful pacing between checkpoints (which THERE IS NO MANUAL SAVING IN THIS 24 YEAR OLD PC GAME) or how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pathetic Thomas Weaksauce Angelo is in any combat encounters, or the near constant stun locking in melee encounters or just any encounter with someone equipped with a Tommy gun (god rest your soul you poor bastard). It doesn't come up to being very fun when so much of the game just really isn't or is just painfully difficult or confusing. Apparently, the difficulty is actually adaptive, but that doesn't benefit the player or the gameplay much when you just die and die and die constantly in the same spots over and over. Also, the health cheat is KREFJEZIVOT. Thank me later. Unfortunately, the story doesn't much make up for the annoying experience. While it is an [i]interesting[/i] story, yes, its not very well told, and even less so because some poor dialogue snd voice over work, especially for 2002 standards (Which mind you, is after Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2 and Silent Hill 1 & 2). This is probably because the script was translated to English feom Czech, handed off to an English outsourced VO studio, and handed back to the non-english understanding script writers. More than enough times that I can count, there are awkward lines or readings you just don't understand either why they were used or what emotion was even supposed to be conveyed in the first place. This actually get worse as the game continues, as if whoever was overseeing the translated VO stopped caring or something else happened. To end off the issues of this game, it is a mess to get working on modern machines. My review will say I played this on Steam Deck, and thats absolutely true because Windows 11 despises D3D8 games (Windows 10 does not fair much differently). Steam Deck wasn't much different but at least there's ProtonQT and DXVK built into the Steam Deck. Even then, after you fix the game for Widescreen or whatever else (controller too for SD), the game crashes at horrible points mid mission. Not even a message, just freezes and makes you restart or boots you out. It is especially just terrible if you've been doing the same part over and over and over and suddenly, it just crashes, losing 15-20+ minutes worth of progress only for you to be forced to do it all over again because the confusing and inexcusable lack of any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ manual saves. If I had any positives to end this review with, it'd actually be the driving. Yes, thats right. The driving in this game is very solid for its time, and very well appreciated for a game like it, as it takes on a more realistic "sim" like model rather than the GTA or arcade style of driving you see in most open world games. If you have ever played any racing sims (rally or just general sim), you will probably enjoy this game a lot. Most of the fun I had with this game was actually the driving because it was different than other games. I would actually go to say whoever told you this game has bad or even "the worst driving" is either a liar or they're just terrible at racing or driving games. There is also a very fun Free Ride mode that gives a lot of replayability, alongside Free Ride extreme. All in all, if you enjoy car games, that would by only case of recommending this game. If you want to play Mafia 1 to... for some reason experience the story that isnt much better told in the remake, just play the remake. Where Mafia Classic is a drunk uncle who will hit and cuss at you, Mafia Definitive is at least [i]polite[/i] with it.
Mafia e jogo muito bom lgual o poderoso chefão que eu joguei ps2 historia personagens e todo esse jogo tambem esse final e absuolte cinema e isso muito bom :D
Mafia Driving simulator, or at least that's what it felt like at times. For it's age the game holds up well and the story is still great. 7/10
[h1][b] Reseña de Mafia[/b][/h1] [h2]Resumen del Juego[/h2] Mafia es el “mundo abierto” antes de que el mundo abierto se convirtiera en checklist de iconitos. Aquí vienes a vivir una historia de crímenes con traje, sombrero y decisiones cuestionables, en tercera persona, con balazos, persecuciones y ese saborcito de drama histórico que te hace sentir protagonista de película… hasta que te acuerdas que también te toca manejar. La propuesta mezcla Acción y Aventura con un enfoque clarísimo: narrativa fuerte, ambientación atmosférica y misiones que te empujan a meterte más y más en la vida criminal. Primera impresión: elegante, violento y con una banda sonora que te convence de que todo lo que haces es “por la familia” (aunque sea por puro caos). [h2][De “Clásico de culto” a “Clásico que te cultiva la paciencia”][/h2] Lo Bueno: Buena trama: drama criminal bien armado, de esos que sí te hacen seguir jugando por la historia. Ambientación atmosférica: se siente la época y el tono, no solo es “ciudad grande porque sí”. Gran banda sonora: te acompaña como si el juego tuviera presupuesto de cine. Acción en tercera persona con personalidad: tiroteos y violencia con identidad, no genéricos. Lo No Tan Bueno: Difícil (y no siempre “justo”): hay momentos donde el reto se siente más como tradición ruda que como diseño amable Sin logros: 0. Ni una palmadita digital por sufrir… digo, por completar cosas Multijugador “fantasma”: aparece mencionado, pero hoy el pulso real está en un jugador; no esperes fiesta Comunidad activa bajita: 29 jugadores actuales… eso no es una ciudad, es una reunión de vecinos [h2]Tabla de Evaluación[/h2] [table] [tr][th]Aspecto[/th][th]Puntuación (0-10)[/th][th]Comentario[/th][/tr] [tr][td]Jugabilidad[/td][td]7[/td][td]Sólida para su estilo: tercera persona, disparos y conducción con carácter.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Dificultad / IA[/td][td]7[/td][td]Exigente; a veces te educa a golpes más que a balas.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Contenido[/td][td]7[/td][td]Campaña con enfoque narrativo; no es “mil actividades”, es historia.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Gráficos / Video[/td][td]6[/td][td]Cumple como clásico: lo importante es el estilo, no el brillo moderno.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Historia[/td][td]9[/td][td]Crimen y drama bien servidos: el gancho principal, sin discusión.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Ambientación[/td][td]9[/td][td]Histórica y atmosférica: te mete en el papel sin pedir permiso.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Efectos (VFX)[/td][td]6[/td][td]Funcionales; no deslumbran, pero sostienen la acción.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Música[/td][td]9[/td][td]Gran banda sonora: eleva escenas y tiroteos como si fuera cine.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Voces[/td][td]7[/td][td]Acompañan bien el drama; ayudan a vender el tono criminal.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Diversidad[/td][td]5[/td][td]Es un drama criminal de época: no viene a reinventar representación.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Rendimiento[/td][td]7[/td][td]En general estable para lo que es; más enfoque en experiencia que en alarde técnico.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Rejugabilidad[/td][td]6[/td][td]La historia invita a volver, pero no es un “loop infinito”.[/td][/tr] [tr][td][b]Total Puntuaciones (Muy Bueno)[/b][/td][td][b]7.1[/b][/td][td]Un clásico narrativo que sigue pegando… aunque te exija paciencia.[/td][/tr] [/table] [h2]Conclusión (Muy Bueno)[/h2] Mafia es de esos juegos que no te pide que lo ames: te lo gana con trama, atmósfera y esa vibra de crimen clásico que hoy muchos intentan copiar con mapas gigantes y terminan haciendo tareas. Aquí la aventura está más en el drama y en cómo se siente el mundo, no en coleccionar tonterías. ¿Lo controversial? Que a veces su dureza se siente como “así eran antes” y ya. Y sí, hay gente que confunde eso con perfección. Aun así, con 8603 recomendaciones totales, está clarísimo que este título se ganó su lugar por mérito… aunque hoy con 29 jugadores actuales parezca un club selecto de nostálgicos (y masoquistas con buen gusto). [h3]Recomendación de Compra (Recomendado)[/h3] Puntuación Total: 7.1/10 Número de jugadores activos al momento de hacer esta review: 29 Descuento máximo registrado: N/A Veredicto: [i]Recomendado: si quieres historia criminal y ambientación top, y no te asusta que el juego te rete sin pedir disculpas.[/i] Si buscas Acción/Aventura con una buena trama, crimen, tercera persona y una atmósfera que te atrapa, Mafia vale la pena. Solo entra con la mentalidad correcta: no vienes a que el juego te aplauda con logros, vienes a sobrevivir el camino… y a verte cool mientras lo intentas.
Holy God. I can already see the backlash my review is going to get, but I don't care. This game isn't for me. If you like it, sure, great, that's fine. The game is an obvious classic from the PS2 generation so I imagine a lot of people buying this on Steam are people wanting to take a ride back to their childhoods. Unfortunately, in spite of the game's admittedly well done style, it's almost unplayable. Steering the cars are like trying to turn battleships, and the first chapter (literally the beginning of the game) is abysmal. You're just tossed into a terrible car chase with no good chance to prepare, and your car actually feels like it's going in slow-motion. Am I seriously having a car chase at 25 M.P.H? Yeah, I know these are very old cars, but did it need to be this tedious? I'm a huge fan of L.A. Noire (set in the 1940s) and the driving was fine in that game. I also can't fathom who would actually want to play with manual gear selection in a video game. What's next, manually having to get your character to remember to breathe and exhale? Bear in mind I did play the tutorial and took my time. Maybe the game should have spent less time trying to cram my head with a hundred different things I can do when walking and rather should have explained the awful car basics better. I also believe this game has been remastered - maybe I'll play that one day when I've washed the taste of this dated relic out of my mouth.
I mean uh. It's decent. Dated as hell, but decent. I'd never pay money for it though, so that's why I can't recommend it. The plot is solid. The gameplay is basic, but fun, lots of driving and shooting, typical action-adventure. Nothing to write home about, but I mostly enjoyed my time spent playing, even if it's not something I talk about often. But it has a ton of flaws. Just to mention a few, the city is empty as hell, the driving sequences are extremely stretched, the rare auto-save and the lack of manual saving sucks, the driving is clunky as well... If you got it for free and you really have nothing better to do, why not. But the bar for "nothing better to do" is extremely, extremely low, you'd usually have something better to do, and you definitely don't want to pay for it.
My childhood game! I spent countless hours playing it. I have to say that I love every part of this game and sure some people today might say that it's old and the graphics don't look very good anymore, but for me and for many people especially from Czech Republic and Slovakia this game is a true national treasure. Personally Mafia has a very special place in my heart. Even though it's an older game I would still highly recommend giving it a try. The graphics may show their age, but the game makes up for it with an incredible story, memorable characters, amazing missions and many unforgettable moments. The atmosphere is one of the strongest parts of the game. The city feels alive, the music is fantastic and the whole experience really makes you feel like you're part of a classic mafia movie. The gameplay might be a little challenging for some modern players at first, but once you get used to it, it's easy to see why so many people still love this game today. This game is a classic and one of the best story driven games ever made. For me, it will always be something special and I still enjoy coming back to it after all these years. 10/10
Неужели я закрыл это говно...
semplicemente il miglior videogioco sul crimine organizzato in circolazione. finito non so quante volte con il gioco scatolato.
