Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
123 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, the game achieves to have a captivating but a bit romanticized story by decently combining drama, humour, and action.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It looks amazing as well — of course it's old graphics but they have so much personality and original charm to it.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Soundtrack was amazing as every Mafia game, voice acting on the other hand isn’t the greatest as the characters sound a little flat most of the time but I can understand that in 2002 we had different standards.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a grounded and effective approach that makes the character feel more human and his decisions more understandable.
