	Mafia: Tutte le informazioni su Mafia su Encyclopedia.it
		L'espressione Mafia diviene un termine corrente a partire dal 1863, con il dramma I mafiusi di la Vicaria di Giuseppe Rizzotto e Gaetano Mosca, che ebbe grande successo e venne tradotto in italiano, napoletano e meneghino, diffondendo il termine su tutto il territorio nazionale.
		Fu lui stesso a riconoscere, in tempi successivi, quando era stato nominato senatore del regno per la sua opera contro la mafia, che l'accusa di mafia veniva spesso sporta per compiere vendette o colpire individui che nulla c'entravano con la mafia stessa.
		Le efferatezze commesse durante la guerra di mafia di quegli anni, però, spingono anche alcuni mafiosi a consegnarsi allo stato.

	Frictionless Insight - Mafia Review
		Mafia switches up the style of the game so there is an array of gameplay styles to choose from, including all of the standard mobster fare: rigging races, offering protection, shaking down people for money, and violent vengeance.
		Mafia has a good deal of character and variety, but it looks and plays sloppier than should be expected of a game that has already been released.
		Mafia makes a lot of familiar mistakes that were once forgivable, but in the light of the great-looking games coming out recently, are very noticeable.

	The Entertainment Depot - PC / Mac / Console Gaming : PC - Reviews - Mafia
		Mafia draws much of its style and strength from its strong narrative style, from its well-detailed and well-told story, and it is largely through this semi-controlled plot structure that you are made to feel as though you are truly a 1930's mobster.
		In truly cinematic fashion, Mafia opens with your character sitting in a café, relating the dirty details of his mob career to a hard-nosed police detective; however, as is the case with every good mob tale, the story truly begins at the very bottom of the family ladder.
		Hoping to remedy this is the recently released mob-flavored third-person action title called - appropriately enough -- Mafia.

	WORTHPLAYING - - All about games !
		The original PC version of Mafia was in development for an handful of years before its quiet release during the notoriously slow (for gaming) summer season of 2002.
		Mafia takes place during the 1930’s, a fictional Chicago-esque city called Lost Heaven, where players follow the life and times of Thomas Angelo, a taxi driver who gets involved in the mob, where struggles through a number of trials in order to make his way up the ranks.
		Mafia’s focus is on atmosphere, and it does it well (it must be noted that the PC version does it much, much better).

	Party Game Central- Party games and birthday games for kids and adults
		If they determine the identity of a mafia, they can either covertly try to get people to vote to kill that person by staging an argument as to why, or they can announce themselves as detective and state they know with certainty that the person is mafia.
		If only one mafia is alive and the game progresses to where there are only three players left, if the vote ends up killing a citizen (leaving only one mafia and one citizen) the second citizen automatically dies and the mafia wins the game.
		They then put their heads back down and the moderator asks the mafia to open their eyes and locate each other.

	Game Over Online Magazine - Mafia
		Mafia may not be based on a particular city but Lost Heaven's setup, with its many bridges, architecture, style of dress, Little Italy district, and island-like setup, captures the zeitgeist of New York or Chicago during the Prohibition.
		Mafia can't resolve that dilemma any better and the shocking end to the game is perhaps a little abrupt; senseless and unnecessary.
		There's a good chance that you'll be molested getting in and getting out but Mafia makes the quieter driving parts interesting with its period music.

	History of the Mafia
		The Sicilian mafia valued the code of "omerta", the code of honor and silence and strictly adhered to the ruling that this was a secret society, open only to those who shared Sicilian blood.
		The Sicilian Mafia was based on the belief that justice, honor and vengeance are for a man to take care of, not for a government to take care of.
		The members of the American mafia use extortion, bootlegging, prostitution, gambling, kidnapping, and murder to achieve their ends.

	The Mafia in Sicilian History, Sicilian Corruption, the European Commission
		The Mafia's arcane rituals, and much of the organization's structure, were based largely on those of the Catholic confraternities and even Freemasonry, colored by Sicilian familial traditions and even certain customs associated with military-religious orders of chivalry like the Order of Malta.
		The Mafia, albeit often indirectly, built nearly half of the "new" city of Palermo, where the notoriously corrupt mayor Salvo Lima and his successor, Vito Ciancimino, literally sold building permits to Mafia front-men.
		It is worth mentioning, however, that outside Italy, the Mafia and its progeny have been the object of every form of fame that modern society carries in its sophisticated cinematic arsenal.

	MAFIA
		Since everyone in the daytime is publicly Mafia, they can pretend to be insulted, about to come to blows, brag about their dedication to crime, and generally act like toughs.
		The other Mafia come to her aid in the daytime, and the Goombah tries to save them too, but she is as clueless as a Paisano!
		The Goombah is a clueless Mafia, literally left in the dark.

	Mafia - Ferrago
		Mafia could have been amazing, but unfortunately pushes us one-step too far (especially on the technical front) to forgive it its sins, though still if you are of a forgiving or patient nature then you might just be able to see the excellence shining through the dense foliage.
		The PC had its flaws in this respect, but Mafia doesn't even compare well to other PS2 games, and whilst very occasionally you get a nice piece of eye-candy these instances are few and far between, unless you're viewing the cut-scenes.
		Indeed, it is elements like this - which often actually exceed the efforts of less-ambiguously impressive titles - that make the glaring mistakes and problems more troubling, because it could have been a true classic.

		This also one way to make sure you enjoy the excellent driving physics of the old hoopties in Mafia and get a good sense of what it was like to swing a convertible land yacht around some city streets.
		Another company could've packaged this mode as an entire game and called it "Extreme Model T Racing" but thankfully it fits as a console-only feature within Mafia.
		Mafia has come over from the PC intact as far as content is concerned but there is a noticeable drop off in visual quality on both Xbox and PS2.

	Game Revolution PC Review Page - Game Revolution
		Mafia is Illusion Softworks' action epic set in the roaring '30s, based in and around 12 square miles of a working metropolis.
		Mafia takes the idea of the bustling city to a new, incredibly ambitious level with an awe-inspiring sense of detail and forethought.
		Running Mafia on lower end systems will be a tough one, but if you have a smokin' machine, you're in for a treat.

	ByteSizedReviews.com :: Mafia Review [PC]
		Mafia requires an absolute beast of a machine to run at full pelt, and even though my system meets the recommended requirements, it still has trouble coping with parts of the game, such as excess vehicle traffic (especially at night).
		Mafia really does require a beefy setup and I’ve yet to see it run perfectly on my configuration (even on its lowest settings).
		It was only a matter of time before someone else decided to take a pop at Rockstar’s majestic Crime-Simulator and Mafia appears to be the first real contender to the throne.

	Mafia: City of Lost Heaven - Windows
		Mafia borrows heavily from game mechanics of games that have come before it.
		Probably a little violent for the kiddies, but honestly, parents, if you've got a well-adjusted kid, and you've talked to him about the difference between real and fake violence, and you've set consequences for your kids, there really isn't anything to worry about from a violent video game.
		Same reason the first person shooters on a console generally blow chunks to anyone who's used to playing these games with a keyboard and mouse.

	Gaming Illustrated - Mafia review
		To run Mafia your rig will need to be well equipped and you'll need nearly whole 2 gigs for the install, this is after all as graphically detailed as Max Payne and running on a whole city, not just a few box-rooms.
		Mafia has taken a very long time to reach us, but I believe it has been well worth the wait, finally a game to do the boys proud.
		Still though, there is still plenty of fun to be had in Mafias world of wanton violence and un-provoked knee breaking.

	Mafia Review - PlayStation 2
		When Mafia was released on the PC in the late summer of 2002, it offered a deep, involving story, gorgeous graphics, and extremely authentic driving and became the sleeper hit of the summer.
		Mafia’s action gameplay is a cross between third-person on-foot shooting areas and automobile driving.
		Mafia is another sad example of a great PC game done wrong by a bad port to the PS2.

	How to Play Mafia
		The game of Mafia is about convincing others, about being able to lie believably, and about being able to figure out if other people are lying.
		One method for determining who is who is to use cards: black cards for the mafia, red cards for townspeople, and the king of hearts for the inspector.
		Once the first night falls, though, the Mafia will be able to act in a much mure unified way.

		And even then it would take a serious act of lawlessness to even arouse their ire, but in Mafia, if you go 41 in a 40 zone, your ass is grass, and they will not hesitate to mow you down.
		Obviously, some folks at GOD, the developers of Mafia agree with me, as much of the atmosphere of the movie went into the creation of the game.
		Half the fun of this game is picking out the mainstream mafia references during the cut scenes.
