    Game is older than me, but it's still good. A little scuffed, The controls are wack but those can be changed in the settings. Some bugs and lack of direction but overall the game was great.

    Ok, I have so much to say about this game, negative and positive sides. Let's talk about bad things first. I understand that game is from 2002, and that it was sat in the 30s, but driving in this game, at the beginning it was so hard for me to understand driving, later I become a better at driving, so that means you have to take some time. It's challenging but ok, ok, next thing. Aiming, aiming is so so bad, I had so much problems with hitting opponents, aiming is so hard in this game that you really need good skill with that. It's realistic that you can die if you get shot few times, ok, I'm ok with that, but the problem is missions rarely have health kit (that can give you 30-100 health) when you really need them, in those missions where it's all about shooting you'll hardly find it. Now, missions. Missions like missions are not that bad, BUT, the problem is they are really confusing (at least to me at first as a new player). They were so confusing that half of the missions I needed a tutorial to see where I need go. I finished the game in 17 hours, I can imagine how much longer it would take me if I didn't decide to get help from the internet. Poliiiiceee, to be honest the police is really good implemented in this game, but that's a big problem. It's really easy to get wanted, if you go faster then 60 kph, if you crash into somebody, if you destroy a SIGN, I know this is not GTA but coming from a person that really really likes GTA games, I find this really offensive to me cuz, you really need to pay attention to what you are doing, which I'm not big fan of but ok, It's Mafia game so, makes sense. The remake is really good, If they didn't make a remake (maybe am wrong), I don't know who would play classic one. But let's talk about 1 thing that is really good, and that's a storyy. Really good made, I enjoyed It (gameplay was bad but I get into it so, it wasn't that bad). Missions as I said were confusing to me, but there are many that were funny (that confusion made it look worse then how it really is). Overall, if you want to play this game for the first time it would be difficult but you'll see (if you want to play it at all). Ratings: Story: 8 Gameplay: 4 Characters: 8 Missions: 6 Map: 6 Total rating: 6,5 -ish Ratings for my First playthrough ever. Also I played strictly main missions except Lucas's ones, they were fun.

    This game holds such a big place in my heart. It used to be my safe haven during a difficult period in my teenage years. Specifically, I adored the taxi missions, I found comfort in them. It warmed my heart to just drive these old cars around the city of Lost Heaven. I also love that progressing into the story feels rewarding because you gradually get more powerful cars, starting with the ones that can barely move (saying this lovingly). Plus, the driving physics here still beat those in many modern games. Finishing that notorious racing mission feels like defeating prime Radahn or idk what else. The characters, they are so memorable that it took me a long while to get used to the ones in the remake. Although to me, the remake turned out to be just as good as the og. The story in its turn is so good that I've never ever skipped any of the cutscenes because experiencing them feels like reading beautiful chapters of a good book.

    Incredible game, great story, honestly far more impressive than GTA III ever was. If you're going to play it don't forget to download the original music files, as they were removed from both Steam and GOG re-releases. And a widescreen patch.
