Mafia

Mafia - Adventure


I have my own sweet memories attached to Mafia, but even otherwise that its one of the best games i have played till date. I used to play this game way back in my college days surrounded by my friends, ho used to enjoy it like a real story. As it progressed I found myself totally immersed in to story, and started getting the feel of the character. Nothing emotional just trying to describe the realism of the game, created by true to life graphics and involving story.



Its a car drive game at times, and suddenly it becomes a first person shooter. Or all of a sudden it gets a third person action game. There are different variations in the game that everybody will enjoy. You can steal a car, drive a cab picking n dropping passengers, or carry on with your mission. The whole game is setup in a city called "Lost Heaven". After months of driving and following the same roads, I started to get the feel of a real city. I used to easily locate the way without looking at the map later on.


Mafia is set in the 1930s, between the fall of 1930 through to the end of 1938, during Prohibition. The game is set in the fictional American city of 'Lost Heaven' (loosely based on New York City and Chicago of the same time period).


The player takes the role of taxi driver Thomas (Tommy) Angelo, who, while trying to make a living on the streets of Lost Heaven, unexpectedly and unwillingly becomes involved in organized crime as a driver for the Salieri crime family, led by Don Salieri.


Through the events of the game's story, Tommy begins to rise through the ranks of the Salieri 'family', which is currently battling the competing Morello family, led by the sharply-dressed Don Morello.


Eventually becoming disillusioned by his life of crime and violence, Tommy arranges to meet a detective in order to tell him his story, to be given witness-protection, and to aid the detective in the destruction of the Salieri crime family. The 'Intermezzo' chapters of the game depict Tommy sitting in a cafe with the detective, relating his life story and giving out important pieces of information at the same time.


Well I used to play it on weekends and it went on for 2 months. And that was great time of my life. Am eagerly waiting for the sequel for this. Looking forward to old times again.
