Mafia III reviews

I'm surprised by the negative reviews for this game. I can only put it down to one of two things… 1) people who have played previous mafia games and aren't happy with this version, and 2) people who find the racial issues too confrontational. Ok, I'll make a number 3) people who don't like the music. I say that last point as a white 40 year old male who listens to student radio, and I think this is one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a game (possibly sharing with Brutal Legend). Yes you have to drive around a lot, but when you're listening to classic Vietnam era rock 'n roll it's a pleasure. Out on a limb here, but I think this is better than any of the GTA games.

Mafia 3 is a great game. It looks great and the gameplay is awesome. Although its a little repetitive. Still recommend to buy.

After having previously played the first 2 Mafia games (which I quite enjoyed!), I thought I'd give this a chance. And well, I ask myself the question after having played it, why is it even open world- The games have always been focused on the story and thats not a bad thing, just there is no point of this being open world as the game is repetitive (ridiculously so) and the world literally has nothing to offer apart from doing missions. Was a bit let down, and this is kind of a rant now, but yeah.

I'm sure it came as a surprise to everyone when word got out that Mafia 3 was actually bad. How could this be- I'll tell you. The game is nothing but the same 3 side objectives repeated over and over with the very rare 2 minute ‘story mission’, so you spend hours, no DAYS doing the exact same thing and feeling no sense of progression. The game is littered with bugs and glitches, like wow, so many bugs. The graphics during cutscenes are incredible, the graphics during gameplay…not so much. I don't care about the 30fps frame rate but that seems to bother some people. The story is literally the ONLY thing keeping you going though this repetitive slosh but even then it's so boring and poorly presented , not to mention having barely anything to do with anything MAFIA related, that nobody will blame you if you give up laying the game after 20 hours of doing the exact same missions in the exact same locations and still feeling like you haven't gotten anywhere.

I would say that this game is probably just average and will keep me entertained until Skyrim PS4 is released. It isnt fair to compare it to GTA V because they are no where near the same level of quality. The story in Mafia 3 is incredible and so well done however the game world is dull and bland to play – there is nothing making you feel part of the world. No NPC conversations together which make sense (usually a comment then the other NPC responds with something not related), no changing clothes, customising cars or random events (such as street parties) shown in the preview of the game. Also, side missions are lackluster. that being said, the music is outstanding and the shooting is fun. I am enjoying it, but it is starting to get repetitive.

I loved this more than GTA 5. Those bad reviews are wrong this game is excellent and my favourite game ever!

The Story is fantastic, the game play is fun but some times repetitive. The graphics unfortunately let this game down quite a bit, from low res textures to weird lighting. Still a very fun game to play.

Great story mode and easy game play with some funny cut scenes had me playing this till the sun come up!

Absolutely love this game, can't stop playing it

Don't purchase this game , it's an unfinished repetitive game .

Very disappointing, Mafia has never been in the league of GTA, but this one just sucks all the way. Graphics, gameplay, story, etc… If I was in the mafia, I'd have this game whacked!

Great storyline. Cant afford anything till at least 1/4 of the way through the game (cars etc), very very truthful story that will sometimes leave you gobsmacked and somewhat shocked. There are alot of racial slurrs and they have set this story as it was back in those times. Loads of things to do and it is an awesome game. Highly recommended.

Sorry I waited so long to get this game,

Pretty awesome game. Well worth the money.

Awesome game great story line
