Archer, is that the same one, or this is the next part.

one thing more, do we have the map option in mafia, i didn't find one

Mafia: City of lost Heaven is the first game. The second one is Mafia II. I don't think it's released yet.

I don't remember the Map option. If I remember correctly there is a radar like thing on the top left corner available only when you get in to a car to drive. You can customize it to show Map in the options menu. And if there is a button to show the full map, then you can find it at the control (keyboard) settings menu. Check for the button for Map.

there is a small compass at the top left corner which guides which way to go but haven't seen the full city map yet.
If you are too sure about it. i will check the options once again today

I am sure. Although my memory is mixed with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

It's kind of like a dropdown menu or something.

Vice city got a full fleshed map, i even remember it by heart

will check mafia one

is mafia similar to GTA ??

crysis is a very recent game with the latest in graphics tech, but the graphics in mafia are pretty good, say, as good as unreal 2 or igi 2. you won't be disappointed

as for size , it comes in 3 cds

i don't have a gaming PC, still its running fine with me.
so don't worry just get it

get a single DVD

Mafia: City Of Lost Heavens System requirements

OS: Windows
System: PIII 500 or equivalent
RAM: 96 MB
Video Memory: 32 MB
Hard Drive Space: 1800 MB

This game will run in a normal PC without any problem.

so its a low memeory game.
will dnld it.hopefully it keeps up to the stnadard you guys re telling!!

If you liked GTA, you won't be disappointed. The only problem is the Game ends very quick. I finished the game before I could learn to drive those awesome old cars. Just like GTA, you are free to go anywhere and use (steal ) any vehicle you want. You can also use the Train or Tram to get to a place. To make it more realistic, in the game you need to learn how to lockpick a car to steal it.

Completing missions have higher priority in Mafia: City Of Lost Heaven. Other than that you are free to do anything.

those who have played gta4 or mafia, foes anybody not like farcry2???
it seems i am the only one here who likes the game!!

I don't have a computer good enough to play the game. Otherwise I would have played it.

Farcry 2 is a great game but it is a pure fps whereas mafia and gta are played from the 3rd person perspective. They cannot be compared.

yes that difference is there..
still there is the open world or sandbox concept that is employed in all of them...
i still liked farcry2 better than gta4.havent played mafia..

@ARCHER

I have checked and found the map, thanks man.

We need to hold TAB to see the map. Suddely the game have became easy for me in terms of driving

cant compare RPG and a FPS game

its like comparing Need For speed and Dead or Alive

In mafia you are restricted to using weapons from the mafia era(1930-50s) whereas in gta you have access to amost all the modern weapons. Also mafia is more mission oriented whereas gta gives you more freedom in play. Basicaly, its a matter of taste.

GTA is Too fast too furious while Mafia is slow, but as Udhyan said it depends on taste, there are never a less no. of vintage lover
