Sure, Mafia Definitive Edition takes a few stumbles along the way. However, there is no denying that the game has more positives than it does negatives. I absolutely love Mafia II and even Mafia III. Unfortunately, I never played the original Mafia when it originally released back in 2002. Finally, I'll get to experience it for the first time thanks to the definitive edition. I've always been a fan of mobster movies and mobster related video games. I'm also a huge fan of L.A. Noire. Mafia Definitive Edition definitely checks those boxes for me so to speak. Honestly, I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't pick this one up. I can't wait until I give it a shot. Otherwise, thanks once again Karak for another detailed, unbiased and honest review. As always, I appreciate the continued hard work. Keep it up!

Back in 2002, I played the original version of Mafia nearly every day for a year or so and it was much better than this remake. I'm not sure why the developers of the remake stripped out the open world and dumbed down the weapons. There's no freedom like you had in the original. It was like a better version of GTA3 back in 2002. Oh and the remake doesn't use the Mafia theme enough, its an amazing piece of music that really sets the tone of the story.

I wish the graphics were the same as the 1st trailer I admit I was blown away. i wish the open world and combat had more substance like rdr2.story is the main drive and appeal of the game and I agree it has a lot of value especially for those going in blind. i think the deep sale option is a good decision but I really wasn't hoping it was I was excited but the fog has sort of lifted so to speak.

[@SuperBeybladerocks]

Rdr2 combat mechanics were not good at all lol.

[@MrNickrobheart]

Good one ACG . How long is the game by the way?

[@Shukov]

* No public transport, can't ride train or tram, can't even enter platforms. * Animations are ridiculously fast, to the point of looking comical. Mafia 1 was the opposite. * No gun shops, no restaurants to eat for health, nothing to do or interact with in the world. * Looks, feels and runs like Mafia 3. * No interactive gas stations with clerk. * Can't sit in car and turn off engine. Can't exit car with engine running. Can't turn on lights. * No turn signals on any vehicles. * Tommy shares many of the exact same animations of Lincoln from Mafia 3. * Driving missions are hand-held and heavily rely on prescripted cutscene action events. * No buildings are enterable outside of missions. * NPCs don't respond to you on street, and if they do its with one word. * Many cars missing from the original. * Tommy has been rewritten to be a cocky d-bag, complete opposite manners to Mafia 1. * Same LOD issues on distant objects like buildings and vehicles like Mafia 3. * Terrible AI. * Graphics look similar to Mafia 2 with brightness turned up. "Amazing graphics" is hyperbole. * Pop-in galore, to the point of cars and trains popping in in front of you. * Textures are generally low resolution even on maxed settings. * Atrociously poor lighting, the game will fade between odd shades of white, green and blue. * Simulation driving mode is akin to a regular arcade driving mode. * No realistic suicide doors on cars like Mafia 1. * No car tuning options like Mafia 2. * Poor damage model on cars, smash into wall at full speed does nothing. * Can't open bonnet to repair car like in Mafia 2. * Majority of music from the original is missing including all Mills Brothers and Belleville. * Terrible gun play. * No world interactivity like turning on lights, faucets, flushing toilets etc. * Lack of bullet detail like entry holes on car tires. * Bugs, glitches and generally poor quality control of the map. * No spoilers, but the game ends with a rap song. I'll let that one speak for itself. * Can't disable basic features like HUD, health bar or mini map. * No money system, can't buy anything. * "Tommy is not a trained soldier" well that was a lie.

Do you have any plans to use the Chapters feature on future videos? Being able to skip to your rating criteria would be nice.

[@torym]

How long is the game? And is it worth getting the trilogy or get the non-remastered versions of 2 & 3?

[@jakeyflakes00]

I’ve been looking forward to this game and review. Always been interested in mafia stuff. Shows, movies, games, etc. When this comes out, so begins the journey 1-3! Thanks for another helpful review Karak!

[@ninetoedlizard6650]

Same here man!!! Got into mafia stuff due to watching Goodfellas and these 3 games look sick. I've played a bit of Mafia II and it's pretty good

[@ODD17Ymusic]

How long is the full story length?

[@RoseOfSharyn18]

So, Hanger 13 redeemed themselves with this one? I loved the story of Mafia 3 but the rest was..... eh. The DLC was fun.

[@DV-ou1yu]

At first I despised M3 and thought it was a chore. I think around chapter 4, it clicked for me and I fell in love with the story and found gameplay loop fun. This was on my 6th or 7th attempt picking this game back up just trying to understand why it was a chore, but then it clicked. The 3 dlc was brilliant

[@renmorpheus]

Waited so long for this review and I am glad it does not disappoint ^^ Don't know what some of the reviewers expected about the world, gameplay and mission design...

[@mikaxms]

I'm really curious what WorthABuy has to say about this game.

[@SauciestPrince6]

Doesn't seem like he likes most games.

[@bricktop.]

If the game wasnt made in 1990, Mack won't like it lol .

[@ShootingStar1313]

The only thing I remember about this game was that early on whenever Tommy pulled out his smokes a gunfight or chase sequence immediately followed. Oh, and that awful race track mission.

[@BorjaOjeda]

Last time I was this early, Mafia Definitive Edition was called Mafia.

My friend was the one who had the gaming PC back when the original released, I never got to play it but I knew he liked it. Now that I am older with a set up I can experience this game for myself in definitive edition.

[@CasepbX]

Paulie looks like my cousin Jason. I wonder if he always has to poop as well?

[@Chris_Faust]

Great review again! I was just wondering, how long is the game, hours wise? Is it short?

[@igorthelight]

20+ as far as I remember the original.
