I read somewhere you could put holes in gas tanks in the first Mafia! This would cause gas to exit your vehicle very quickly and basically make you lose all your gas in a few min. I hope they have small touches like in this one.

Fuck you GTA4

i hope you realize that by now most games have an option to toggle bloom on/off.

Eh, it could just be they're showing shots at times of the day when bloom is at its most noticeable. GTAIV can get a bit bloomy when it's bright out, but the time of day shifts smoothly enough that it's not so noticeable. And on a second glance, at least half of those shots don't really demonstrate any over use of it anyway.

I don't really mind it however, adds a kind of dreamy quality that seems appropriate for the time period.

I think it looks really good. I dont mind the bloom, as said it fits the setting to an extent, and nowhere does it look seriously overdone. I think GTA IV's number plates > Mafia 2's though .

I think I'm one of the few people that didn't like Mafia. I would've sworn when I first played it that it was in fact a console focused game, a PS2 original maybe, then later ported to PC, because of the save/checkpoint system that just drove me up the goddamn wall, especially combined with the slow driving speed, spread out city (with very little besides the story objectives to do or see in the city, essentially making all that expansion worthless space) and monotonous radio. Every time I lost a mission over something stupid, I had a ten minute tedious, horribly mind numbing drive to get back to where I was. I was really interested in the story, wanted to see what would happen with the main character's plight, but I couldn't bring myself to continue to plow through the tedium, and quit not long after the super long airport level to get that guy I was supposed to kill and his family out of the country.

eh eh, indeed the first cars in the game are very very slow! But as the game progresses, you get to drive some really nice and fast cars...

And about the plot, this game as one of the best endings I''ve EVER seen!! It's like, you could never in the world predict that would happen!

Uhhh, no. Mafia was released for PC first it was only later on that the game was ported to PS2, somewhat shoddily. I know what you mean about the checkpoint system it is a bit annoying but then it's better than the GTA save system whereby you have to complete a mission without any failures before you can save at all. Mafia is a brilliant game. but it's let down by some really tough missions like the racing game early on in the campaign.. probably the toughest mission in any game ever.

I never had any problems with it tbh

-HP- · May 19, 2008 at 6:02 PM

me neither! I mean, obviously I didn't got through it the first time, I remember I lost 3 or 4 times on that damn race, but one get's the hang of it.

Buddy · May 19, 2008 at 6:10 PM

Well yeah, first try was to get ahold of the track and second was the win Later on they added difficulity levels in patches, when i played it again recently i found that out
