Mafia 1

The original cinematic inspirations of Mafia were films like Goodfellas and The Godfather, aiming for a more serious and mature tone for the game. Wanting to create a rich story line, director Daniel Vavra tried to mix drama, action and humour to heighten the game's realism.[14] The development team originally intended to put players in the role of a police officer taking on the mafia; this was reversed when Daniel Vavra took in charge of writing the game's script.[15][16]

Hey guys, I'm thinking about playing one of the Mafia games. Was curious how mafia 3 stacks up against the mafia 1 remake, and whether one is worth playing over the other. I've heard mafia 1s story is really good, but havent heard much about mafia 3. Any input is appreciated ?

MAFIA: DEFINITIVE EDITION is a remake of the original 2002 hit action/adventure game, Mafia. With new graphics, new voiceovers, and an expanded story and gameplay, the game spotlights the power and brutality of the mafia crime enterprises during the height of the Great Depression and the American Prohibition. Players take on the role of Tommy Angelo, a poor but hard-working cabbie who finds himself dragged into the middle of a turf war between two crime families. Leaving his old life behind, Tommy joins with the Salieri family and quickly rises through the ranks, carrying out the orders of Don Salieri and expanding the family's criminal enterprises. While mob life might be Tommy's ticket to a better life, what's he to do when the price gets too high? And more importantly, what happens when the mob comes to collect? This game can be purchased alone, or as part of the Mafia Trilogy package, which includes the definitive editions of Mafia II and Mafia III as well.

It's been eighteen years since gamers first experienced the Prohibition era criminal empire of the original Mafia game. With two sequels under its belt and two generations of consoles having come to pass, Mafia: Definitive Edition returns with a long overdue revisit to the fictional city of Lost Heaven. It delivers with sharp visuals, new voiceovers, and a few new tricks and gameplay elements. The result is a city that's more alive and characters that are more engaging than ever. As vibrant as the bump in quality is, it also makes the violence feel much more brutal. There's no sugarcoating things here. This is a world rife with bootleggers and button men, where gamblers and prostitutes are more common than businessmen and housewives, and where mafia kingpins give "mob rule" whole different meaning. It's a fantastic noir setting with an equally fantastic story that stands the test of time. But the same can't always be said for the gameplay. 041b061a72
