Like most Open-World Crime Series, Mafia was initially called a GTA clone when the original game was released in 2002. But over the years the series has managed to move away from the GTA comparisons and become its own cause. Part of the reason is that it can differ from the Rockstar series because of its attitude and the fact that the games revolve around Mobsters.
In addition, unlike many others in the genre, much of the series' focus is on stories and characters, instead of running around a sandbox and blasting things. Therefore, each game marks in telling a convincing story, filled with emotional and shocking moments. In addition, they offer some fun driving and combat mechanics. But of all these games, which one is best? Here is a ranking of them all.
Mafia 3
Mafia 3 deserves credit to try to do something different with its story. Instead of working your way up through a criminal family, you try to take one down while creating your own business. In addition, the game contains lots of tactful social comment about the United States after the Vietnam War. All this remains convincing all the time. This is helped by the game's impressive writing and voice game.
Unfortunately, however, the actual act is to systematically disassemble your enemy's business a bit of a stroke. Taking over rackets and districts means playing many similar assignments that become very repetitive over time. There are only so many times when you can sneak or blast through a building without getting old.
Mafia
Although there are some game series where the first item is best, that is usually not the case. The sequels are often based on the grounds that are in the original, and that is the case with Mafia. As a result, the original mafia feels very dated compared to the new ones. This is best seen in the gun, which is a bit rudimentary and clumsy. Even the voice game sounds a little wood.
That said, there are reasons why this game could launch a series in the first place. The atmosphere and the city are fantastic. What is even better is the engaging story that revolves around Tommy Angelo who gets in the Salieri Crime Family. Although the voice game is not perfect, high -quality characters enable some captivating cuts.
Mafia: the old country
The old country differs from other games in the series in that it is below the first years of the mob. This enables a completely different environment and period of time than the other titles. And the game's version of Italy from the beginning of the 1900s is beautiful. However, despite the change in the landscape, the actual prerequisite is not original. You experience a young man's rise in the mob, which is the usual scenario for these games. However, this one is very well told and contains some well -written characters. In addition, the love story between the protagonist and Don's daughter adds an extra wrinkle to the story.
When it comes to the game, outside knife battles, everything else is quite standard for the series. This lack of originality consists of evenness in both battle and stealth. So as a complete package, the game is good in most areas, but does not deviate too far from the established mafia formula.
Mafia 2
With Vito and Joe, Mafia 2 has two of the best characters in the series, and they both have a lot during the game. It is one of many things this title has for it. The story of Vito who works up in the criminal world is not so different from the story of the first game. Nevertheless, it has its own fair proportion of turns that make it possible to feel different and remain fascinating.
Another way that the game stands out is its capital. Empire Bay is one of the most iconic cities in the series. It is a joy to drive around and cause devastation. Speaking of causing devastation, the general weapons and the Melee battle are very fun in this game and keeps all these years later.
Mafia: Definitive Edition
The original MAIFA game already has one of the best stories in the series. Tommy's rise through the Salieri family makes an incredible adventure. The definitive edition holds that story, but updates all other aspects of the game to make it the best series has to offer.
These updates start with the voice and dialogue, which is much better in this version and among the best in the series history. It helps those like Tommy, Paulie and Sam are even more interesting and entertaining. The game's improvements are also clear in the nuclear game. Everything from driving to photography to sneaking feels very satisfactory in this title. In addition, everything in the game looks incredibly realistic from character models to faces. Overall, it is really the ultimate mafia experience.
