I loved to play the original "Gangsters" and did it for many months. I was free
to expand anyway I wanted. Then "Gangsters 2" came out. I was thrilled until
I bought it and went to play. They scripted it and on the shelf it went never to
be played again. I never tried this "Mafia" series after getting stung with G2. I know the graphics will be better but will it let me be the BOSS and play it the way I choose...

Mafia was pretty amazing. It did an excellent job at making you feel like you were back in the 1930's. It was pretty much a 1930's style Grand Theft Auto. The subway/trains were really neat. They put alot of attention into detail when developing the environment for the game. Its definately a work of art. The programming was excellent with no noticeable bugs (most definately a finished product). I look forward to the next title.

Mafia rules. Lets hope they make the second one as good, and not ****ty like The Godfather.

Since the game has almost been forgotten by the gaming community, I had hoped through some quirk they would release the sourcecode of the original Mafia. I wanted to see what could be done with this game if it had really free gameplay and all the things that the fans wanted. Now that is not going to happen. But alas, if we get Mafia 1952, and it will have linear missions, I'm still looking forward to it.

Mafia had the potential of being the greatest game of all times, and I am playing ot from time to time.

My nephew came to me just last week to do some taxi driving in Lost Heaven (because of his age I forbade him to kill anybody and had any eye on him lest he'd do anything else than drive taxi)

Mafia should be scripted, with the additional nonlinear free mode like the original. The first Mafia was very engrossing, a great immersive game.
