- It's like GTA in the 1930's
Really fun game overall, gives you a chance to see the Mob back in it's old days with a great story with the main character and the events of the time that effected him and the world around him, thus making the mod more powerful. Kinda a sad ending with the oldman but I found the whole game enjoyable.... except for the mindless 30's music. That stuff I had to mute the whole game. Just couldn't stand it.

- great game
This is a very good game.Graphics are not that bad but could have been better in my opinion.The car handiling is great.It really feels like an old car.The loading time is kind of long but it could have been worse.The game is great for a shooting game also.To explain this game I would say it is a gta game set in the 1930s.This is a very good game.

- Differences between the PC version
I recommend the PC version over the PS2 version. When going from one section of the city to another the game interrupts for over thirty seconds to load the other portion of the city. This definetly kills the mood when one is traveling at high speeds to evade the cops or enemy only to find a car directly in front of you once the game continues. Also, the graphics are poor and I noticed that there is no diversity in the background people. There are no women on the streets and and only men. Overall, the PC version is better.

- Whoever made this game should get wacked by the real mafia
I bought this game because I love shooter games and am fascinated by the early 1930's mafia. Thus I should have enjoyed this game thouroughly but I was very dissapointed. I would give both the pros and the cons for this game but I only found cons in the gameplay. First off, the load times are like an hour long. I was able to take a dump during one of them and came back with plent of time to spare. The long load times arnt just before the levels, there are usually several loadings within each mission. you cross a bridge, it has to load, leave or enter a building, it has to load. Half the time that I played the game was spent in front of a load screen. They could have at least put some historical mafia facts for us to read on the load screens to pass time. Secondly, once the level is loaded, trust me, the gameplay is not worth your wait. The levels are incredibly pointless and hard. You spend hours driving around town in a slow 1930's car to and from where the actual mission is. When you get to your mission its even more frustrating. You basically have to make it through the level hardley getting shot at at all. I think the enemys get more health than you because it takes about 5 shots to the head to kill them but it only takes a couple to kill you. The storyline to this game was totally predictable and mushy, not at all what youd expect from a game about the mafia. The main character fell in love, had a kid, and constantly talked about his new family and moral issues with his fellow mafia cronies. There are many other problems with the game but I dont have time to go into them. The only thing you really need to know is that buying this game will be the biggest waste of money and will send the message to game developers that its OK to make crappy games. Dont even rent this game either.

- What can you do while you wait for the game to load? Make a sandwich!
My buddy and I were bored as hell one night, and I had let him borrow this game and we both agreed the load times kill this game. We wanted to see if we could make a sandwich in the time it took to load a level. I finished one and got almost halfway through making another one when the game started up again. The story however is pretty good, well a lot better than what I had expected. Driving sucks!!! The manufacturers were probably trying to make it a little more realistic than the successful GTA games, however it just got really annoying when you get pulled over for speeding. Some levels get pretty hard, especially the ones where you have to chase someone in a car. Combat also had it's minor flaws. I would buy a cheap used copy of this and play it for its storyline and decent gameplay.
