	Reviews of Mafia
		Mafia got me immersed into a game like none before, I actually felt part of a mob, this is why I said GTAIII is a game and Mafia is an experience.
		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.

	Game Over Online Magazine - Mafia
		There are parts of the game where you get downtime to cruise around but for the most part, you won't have to worry about lack of work because Mafia features a strong narrative to guide you in the right direction, making sure you will always be in the heat of the action.
		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.

	Mafia - Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews - The Armchair Empire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		When Mafia was released for the PC way back in August of 2002, there were many things to praise it for.
		However, although the core game play remains intact, the PS2 version of Mafia is so vastly inferior to the PC original that it is hard to recommend to any but those PS2 owners who only own Sony's system.
		All game and anime imagery is the property of their respective owners.

	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.
		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.

	GameSpy.com - Review
		Usually when a game shows up unannounced, it's because it got rushed out and it's not complete and it's going to be a bad game.
		In both games, you play a thug, you have an entire city to wander around, and stealing cars is a lot of the fun.
		The entire game is told in flashback fashion, with you taking control of Tommy through twenty missions of varying lengths and difficulty.

	Mafia® the Game
		With all of the characters in place, the Mafia members try to knock off the Detectives, while the Detectives attempt to find out who the Mafia members are and try to swing the Peon clan to vote the criminals out at accusation time.
		PLAYING THE GAME: It is best to have an odd number of people as a single player fills the role of the District Attorney or D.A. This person controls the play of the game by instructing the players to complete four actions during each round of play:

		Mafia gives you a mission such as "have this race car manipulated", and naturally, there is one place to pick it up, and one place to bring it to have the work done.
		Mafia is one of those games that people play years after its release and kick themselves for not picking it up earlier.
		Mafia is about as close as you'll ever get to playing a role as a gangster fighting against the Untouchables and you'll never forget the story and the final conclusion of this classic.

	Mafia Review - GamersMark
		The game’s framerate is shaky in-game during heavy traffic, the textures are dull, and the draw distance is poor by standards set in Nintendo 64 games.
		Add that to a lack of health replenishments found throughout each of the game’s missions, and the ineffectiveness of weapons as the shotgun compared to a simple handgun, and you easily have a game that requires players to mold near flawless strategies through the process of trial and error.
		Mafia is one of the games that isn’t too polished, yet at the same time manages to deliver a gaming experience that none will regret.

	Mafia - GameCritics.com
		This is a game about a violent crime family and is probably not something you'd want the little ones playing.
		Mafia on the Xbox is a port of the infinitely superior PC version (as was the PlayStation 2 release).
		The game features an intensely cinematic feel that highlights how games and movies can be similar in a positive way for a change.

	Mafia Review - GamersHell.com
		Tommy begins the game by telling the detective his side of the story and you play along with it.
		Since the game’s time set is placed in the 1930s, the cars look and perform as you would imagine they would in that period.
		Mafia is a great game even though the graphics aren’t top notch.

	TeleFragged -Mafia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		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 hype for this game has been relatively small compared to the recent blockbusters in the last six months, which makes playing it all that much more enjoyable - I had no idea that this game was going to be this good.
		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.

	TVG: Mafia Images // News
		“Mafia could be classed as two games in one, racing and action, but linked by the background story.” In the film The Usual Suspects, the main suspect told police in flashback sequences what had happened in return for immunity: that same scenario is played out in Mafia.
		“We wanted to create a game that will allow the player to experience the lifestyle of a mobster during the time of the prohibition and all that was a part of it.
		What we believe makes Mafia different from other similar titles is that ours not only tries to recreate the atmosphere of the times, but it mustn’t be classed as an action game.

	Dueling Gods Mafia Game
		During the night the mafia wakes up and chooses whom to kill, and then the doctor wakes up and chooses whom to save, BUT before everyone wakes up for the day the remaining 4 people (the switchers) each wake up one by one and and they each chose one person.
		Mafia is a fun game of limited information, which is gradually revealed as people die.
		Without knowing for sure who is and is not mafia once people die eliminates the significance of watching who votes for who and eliminates the availability of certain advanced strategies such as mafia nominating and then voting off their own mafia to confuse the citizens.

	Mafia Review
		Both games have the same feel - the third-person view when on foot and the variable camera angles when driving are identical in both games.
		But the two games run on very similar premises - Find the start mission point, drive (or steal a car) and perform whatever action is required by your Don...collecting protection money, making life miserable for the other families, making things explode, and showing the world that crime can indeed pay.
		Many of the characters within the game resemble either mobsters from the movies, or suspected mafiosos of today - for example, Don Salieri, the head of the protagonist crime family bears a striking resemblance to John Gotti, the Teflon Don, and his arch-nemesis Morello might be a lost relative of Bobby DeNiro.

		When we reviewed the PlayStation 2 version of Mafia a few months back, we claimed that the game didn't age well and wasn't nearly as enjoyable as it was on the PC when it originally released.
		Mafia is one of the most immersive games I've played - you really do feel as though you are living and working in the 1930's Mafia.
		Here is where the game might stick in some peoples craw because there is a lot of driving from one mission to the next and the driving can be somewhat slow at times due to the era the game takes place in.

		Then the lookout shouts "mafia, heads up!" and the people with Ace cards put their heads up, to show the lookout who they are.
		Now that the lookout knows who the mafia and policemen are, he can assume everyone else is a citizen (people with a Queen, a Jack or a number card.) Now the lookout can repeat the process of "night time".
		When the mafia's heads are up, the mafia can point to one person, but the lookout says nothing, the person they point to is automatically "Dead" and out of the game.

	Mafia - Reviews - Stratos Group
		Mafia starts out in 1932 in a town that could be in New Jersey, could be in New York, or could be Chicago, but isn’t quite any of them.
		Mafia is a third-person action game that is two parts shooter, one part driving game.
		Mafia takes excellent story, gameplay, graphics, and sound, and blends them into a cohesive whole that earns it a ranking not only as the best game I have played this year, but one of the best I have ever played.
