	Mafia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mafia's power in the United States peaked in the mid-20th century, until a series of FBI investigations in the 1970s and 1980s reduced the Mafia's influence.
		From this, the Mafia began to spread its roots among the landowners and politicians of Sicily.
		In the mid-20th century, the Mafia was reputed to have infiltrated many labor unions in the United States, notably the Teamsters, whose president Jimmy Hoffa disappeared and is widely rumored to have been killed by the Mafia.

		Mafia power peaked in the United States in the mid-Twentieth Century, until a series of FBI investigations in the 1970s and 1980s somewhat curtailed the Mafia's influence.
		In the United States, the mafia began a steep decline in the late-1970s and early 1980s due in part to laws such as the RICO Act, which made it a crime to belong to an organization that performed illegal acts and to programs such as the witness protection program.
		In the mid-20th century, the mafia was reputed to have infiltrated many labor unions in the United States, including the Teamsters whose president Jimmy Hoffa disappeared and is believed to have been killed by the mafia.

	Reviews of Mafia
		Mafia is very violent and also has quite a bit of swearing, one mission in particular has you fighting some guys while the Don is constantly yelling out the window "kill the bastards", "go on Tommy, kill every one of those bastards" so you may want to turn them speakers down a touch.
		Mafia is a very tough game, 40 hours for the average game player to complete, which is very good considering some games are all over in 8.
		Mafia is not for everyone, I think it's for a more mature audience and I don't necessarily mean for the adult content, I mean for the gameplay.

		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.

		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).

		Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven is one of those games that comes almost out of nowhere and surprises people with some great atmosphere and awesome gameplay.
		The developers say on the Mafia site's FAQ that the GTA games didn't influence them that much, but to me, the similarities are obvious.
		Mafia focuses more on the on-foot gunfighting in later parts of the game, so the ability to dodge and aim at the same time are crucial.

	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's character modeling is done with motion capture and the facial expression system is impressive, although not flawless.
		Mafia can't resolve that dilemma any better and the shocking end to the game is perhaps a little abrupt; senseless and unnecessary.

		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.
		However, if both detectives die but there are one or two mafia still alive, the game continues as the citizens try to kill the mafia through the voting process and the mafia try to kill the citizens one by one until none are left.
		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.

		The European Mafia was founded on a sense of loyalty and respect for culture, family and the Sicilian heritage.

		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 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 - Ferrago
		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.
		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.
