Trivia
In Mission 8, entitled "The Whore", the player is sent to a hotel called 'The Corleone', a reference to the crime family empire in the movie The Godfather (1972).

Quotes
Thomas 'Tommy' Angelo: I think it's important to keep a balance in things. Yeah, balance, that's the right word. Cause the guy who wants too much risks losing absolutely everything. Of course, the one who wants too little from life might not get anything at all.

Alternate versions
Due to Take 2 wanting a USK-16 rating, the German version was censored to remove all in-game blood splatters and have the pedestrians invincible. The remastered version Definitive Edition is uncensored in Germany.

Like an interactive movie.

I originally got Mafia for my PC but it wasn't powerful enough to run it properly, now in 2004 I've got it for the PS2 and I just finished it today. I miss it already, it's been there ready to tell the next chapter of Tommy Angelo's story for the past 5 days. There are a lot of missions, but like chapters in a good book, I wish there were more. There's a lot of good games coming out of Europe lately, first Hitman (Denmark), then Max Payne (Finland), and now Mafia out of the Czech Republic. Lets hope there are more.

Mafia almost literally transports you to 30's prohibition-era Chicago (the city the town depicted in Mafia is based on) with slow cars, hats, and tommy guns. It's a little bit like Grand Theft Auto in the style of play, and like "It Came from the Desert" in its historical richness.

If you have a PS2 or high-spec PC it would be a crime to pass up this game.
