Background:
It is 1930. Due to circumstances he couldn't possibly have predicted, Tommy's life as a cabdriver is about to be exchanged for a life in the Mafia. At first he continues his work as a driver and nothing could be better. He soon becomes good friends with his sidekicks Paulie and Sam, and although the work is sometimes risky, he earns more money than he did as a cabdriver. But as time goes on he is ordered to undertake more and more unpleasant jobs – and he starts to become disillusioned with the life he has chosen.

Gameplay:
Play through an expansive epic story line inspired by real events that took place in the 30's - conveyed through spoken dialogs and motion-capture animations from professional actors. Due to the realistic physics and real time deformation of cars, getting involved in a chase with the police is definitely something to avoid!

    Neoseeker Editor's Take
    Mafia is a third-person mobster action game in development by Illusion Softworks, the same company that produced the atmospherically rich WWII combat sim Hidden & Dangerous. Mafia is set in the 1930's during the height of mobster infamy and prohibition-era bootlegging. »Read Full Article
