This game is an absolute legend in Czech republic and Slovakia, as there is a professionally czech-dubbed variant of the game. We played it as kids, together with GTA3, however, the difference was that we understood what was happening (as at that time we didn't speak english). The storytelling in this game is absolutely awesome, the controls are not as clunky in my opinion, and I have no problem running it on modern systems (runs great on Linux via wine too :) ). It's a game I, and many many others, come regularly back to. Btw, there's a special trick to successfuly go through the racing mission in the 1.0 version of the game ;) Thanks for the review :)

When I first played Mafia as a little kid, I was so dumb I couldn't get past the first mission where you had to save Sam and Paulie and evade the goons in the taxi. Later though when I got past it and played through the entire game, it became apparent that it is one of the best ones I have played.

This game was way ahead of its time, it'll always be one of my all time favorite game. A few notes: 1. The police do come after you if you hit an NPC car in front of them if i remember correctly. 2. The speed limiter was an interesting mechanic back when i played the game, involving a sharp lookout on the radar for any cops, focusing on the driving (Above the speed limiter, around 60) and keeping an eye out for any beat cops in the footpath. Admittedly, i played on 1024x768 resolution back then. 3. The AI was more than competent in the game, both friendly and enemy variant. 4. I often killed a policeman by running him over and then grabbing his S&W .36 from the body in missions that didn't give you a weapon from the beginning, just to be on the safe side. I did not trust this game at all. 5. I ran out of gas, in a chase, multiple times. It was amazing. 6. The story felt so gripping, so amazing in my young mind. I was totally invested in the game from beginning till end. Even now i wonder how the hell did i finish this game as a kid on hard difficulty. It was just that much fun. If i have the option, i'll take Mafia 1 remaster over any GTA remaster any day, and that's coming from a guy who played every single GTA game and completed the 100% completion checklist on them.

Thank you for this review. In Czech republic this is our national treasure. Probably like The Witcher in Poland :-) Just a few points: 1. It’s best to turn off the speed limiter and to break when you see the police on the radar. It’s a little bit annoying I agree. You just get used to it :D 2. You can kill enemies with one headshot, you just need stronger weapon like Magnum revolver etc 3. You can get help with the boxes in the docks if you ask the guys next to them :-) 4. You can get the original music back in, you can find the guide online. I think the licence to the music expired and that is the reason why it was removed from the Steam for a while 5. Race is quite difficult, but the most important part is to taky it slow and steady to avoid overspinning. After that it’s easy. :) 6. You forgot to mention the Extreme free roam that unlocks after finishing the story. It’s like normal free roam but with 10 or 20 silly and funny “missions” like crossing the bridge which is being shot at or traverse the town and not going under a certain speed. After each succesful mission you get crazy car. It’s quite fun. :) 7. The outside map is much bigger than motel and airport. You can drive around whole country in free roam. In this extended map is also a second ending of killing Morello mission. He will not go to airport and to the plane but he will continue going to countryside up to the bridge that is being repaired. Not many people know this because it seems like the game mostly chooses airport version for whatever reason. 8. Without the dotted line or GPS you will remember this city quite soon. The best is to drive with the help of map. After that you will remember this city much better than something in GTA Thanks again. I hope you will review Mafia 2 as well. Sadly third one is crap because Daniel Vavra left after the distributor forced him to do bad things to mafia and that’s how Mafia 3 ended up.

Well Dan Vávra also created Kingdom Come: Deliverance, so he likes realism I guess :D

I bought this game in 2002 knowing absolutely nothing about it. It became one of my favorites of all time. It was extremely immersive, and the difficulty was just par for the course. PC games, overall, were simply much harder 15, 20, 30 years ago. I loved the realistic driving in this game even though the early cars were sooooo slow. Slow that it is, until you got some momentum built up from going down hills! The gun fighting was awesome - more realistic than today's games. The story - incredible. Finally winning that race after umpteen attempts was one of my greatest accomplishments in PC gaming. I mean, after the first few attempts, it did seem to be an IMPOSSIBLE task. I could never get into the GTA titles after playing Mafia because to me they just paled in comparison. I remember waiting, and waiting, and waiting for Mafia 2. Unfortunately after all that waiting, it just didn't quite capture the experience of the original. MAFIA - The perfect game of 2002 !!

What a fantastic review. Even without nostalgia glasses, you can easily see just how realistic the game is, the guns are impactful and satisfying and the cars actually feel "alive" thanks to the physics engine, gears and all that good stuff. It's the little details that make this game stand out so much. The soundtrack is authentic, featuring some of the best hits from that era, and matched with every neighborhood in the game. That, and the wonderfully crafted story told through some brilliantly-written dialogue. I've beaten this game countless times since my childhood but it keeps pulling me back in, if you get the reference. Certainly one of the best games ever made out of the hundreds I've played.

Brilliant game. I remember anticipating its release for so long. I must've played that demo that took place in the garage close to 100 times through. It was a bitch to run at the time on our family computer, though. I was 14. I recall being absolutely blown away by the use of EAX in this game, as well. The garage and warehouse stand out in that regard. There's also the amazing soundtrack, and the use of realistic gun recoil that I've yet to see in another game, since. I could keep going.

This game played a massive part in helping me become who I am today. My brother bought the game on sale at Gamestop and didn't like the driving, so he handed it off to me. I was immediately in love with the atmosphere, the classic cars, the suits, the music... I'd never played an open world game before, or watched any gangster films/TV, so I was totally blown away and swept up into it all. All these years later, I still rock pinstripe suits and love classic autos. It still holds up as my second favorite game of all time (second only to the sequel, Mafia II). Even Mafia III, for its faults, is still one of my favorites. I really hope we get a new entry into the franchise sooner rather than later- and hopefully one that lives up to those original two entries.

The game moves at a slow pace, you can't choose your weapons, third person combat leaves a lot to be desired, and the cars are very slow and when they do go fast they handle poorly. Good points are an amazing soundtrack (on Steam you need to download the music files separately), a brilliant Mafia story, good voice acting, varied missions, long campaign, nice looking city, interesting characters. Compared to anything else of this era the game was a classic. Its definitely worth a play through if you've never experienced it. But just be aware it plays like an old game.

This game ir criminally underrated. And you're channel too man. Extremely high quality and detailed reviews. Just fantastic

Mafia 1 - for me personally - is the best game of all time. I can't remember how many times I have played through it as a child. This game is from an era when developers were not afraid to give a real challenge to the players. When I cleared each level, it brought a huge sense of accomplishment - as it took me a while to learn the ropes and when you finally master it, you feel exhilarated (this is the case from the very first mission, where you have to ditch the mobsters with your modest taxi) The racing level was really difficult in the vanilla version as the difficult was set to max by default with no option to change it (the later patches allowed you to lower the difficulty) - I played the unpatched version and could finish the racing level at the original max difficulty after a few tries. I got stumped at the mission "you lucky b******" (couldn't figure out how to get into the warehouse) - so I had to visit an internet cafe and read an online guide on how to beat it - no internet at home / youtube existed back then. The story was also top notch - I won't go into spoilers here. This game was like the dark souls of the 2000s EDIT: To people who feel that the pacing / driving feels slow - many of my friends made this complaint as they got used to GTA III - and to top it off, crashing can seriously injure you / kill you - (another fun fact - keeping with the simulation aspect of the game, if you roll over a convertible / soft top car, its an install death and mission fail my advice is drive carefully while taking in the scenery and music - think of it as a relaxing drive - I really enjoyed the simulation style driving in this game - each car felt different to drive and learning to steal the best ones felt awesome. More so on the countryside with the beautiful scenery and calming music.

What a timing, i just finished replaying this gem from my childhood yesterday

Greetings from the Czech Republic. You really butcher our names, but thanks for trying. Best game reviewer on KZread. Also the Czech dub of this game has well known film and stage actors and dubbers doing the voices which really adds to the presentation and overall movie feel. Please review the FlatOut series sometime, or System Shock or the Fallout series. That would make me very happy.

This is one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. I was 16 when I bought this game on a whim. I'm 36 now and I still have the copy. It was a masterpiece It helped that I was obsessed with all the big mafia gangster films like godfather, Goodfellas, casino and scarface. I wish I could experience them times again.

You have to actually take cover yourself instead of just pressing a button to hide behind an object designated for cover. Also, I'm pretty sure you forgot to mention the Freeride Extreme, unlocked after the completion of the story. Although the missions in it might make people rage quit even more. And go through the options menu, before actually playing the game! :D That's pretty much a rule in old Games :D

About that first pile of boxes that you are supposed to move in the docs, you can tell those two guys standing next to it to help you with it. Absolutely loved this game when i was a kid. Basically grew up with it and i was introduced to PC games thanks to it. One of few legendary games like the first Vietcong in Czech Republic. I still remember when my older brother showed me all the easter eggs etc. Like the one in Mafia in that church mission where you can shoot that bucket full of bricks on the scaffolding and it falls on some guy on the street below....

If I could like this review even before clicking on the video, I would! Love your reviews & love this game!

REMAKE TIME!!!!

well it coming august...

i remember how i got it on a cd from my uncle when i was a kid, great video, hey from Czechia

Another Great Video; I look forward to the Mafia 2 review.

YES,FINALLY!!! I was waiting for this. That intro music always gives me the chills, I love it.

Please do a godfather 1 and 2 video. Thanks for this one!😍

OMG I WAS JUST PLAYING THIS! so glad you made this colourshed love your vids

My friend had this on PC on launch and we played the hell out of it and its been a favourite ever since, absolutely buzzing about the remake coming soon!

I'm really glad you've reviewed this. I played it the first time when I was 11 or so. Indeed I remember it being very difficult at first, but I played the demo over a few times waiting for the full game to arrive so I got good hold of the controls. Certain levels took precision memorization of where enemies were though. The dockyard was especially frustrating with its one very long checkpoint gap. I don't think it was the story that got me, just the setting (especially the music and all the cars I recognized) and calmer pace. Mafia II is much more... modern, more or less the slow paced linear GTA you were expecting. Mafia 3 is a mess.

Another excellent review dawg

Mafia definitely aged, but when It was released It was the best open-world game. It took me one year to complete as a kid. I was stuck on that parking lot mission for month. I kinda like it for it's janki-ness. The game has a heart.

Bro that's crazy I've been watching all the cutscenes from this game because I wasn't sure if it was as great as I remember it then here you come with a video on it

If so many people still watch its review in 2020 ( many of whom like me due to nostalgia I'm sure), imagine how many people would absolutely love a remastered Mafia 1 and 2. Plus Godfather 1. Damn! Moreover, I never found this game hard or frustrating back when i first payed it in 2003. That's how games were back then. And that's how they should always have been. They were supposed to challenge you. You were supposed to push through to have fun. But then I'm not sure if I'm a more patient gamer than others, for I still play ARMA over Call of Duty, and Gothic over Skyrim. I like the difficulty that demands patience. It gives you more satisfaction in the end! P.S : Daniel Vavra ( 6:02 ) went on to find Warhorse Studios that made Kingdom Come: Deliverance. One of the best realistic medieval rpgs ive ever played. Look it up if you have 'patience'.

The menu, menu music and the attention to details are probably the most memorable thing about this game. Missions usually have tiny option bit that could change how the mission play out : like witness calling the police, or extra event that have no effect other than adding flavor. Also grinding Free ride extreme missions are a big part of the game back then, the missions are so difficult, it brought a sense of pride and accomplishment when you managed to complete it.

Love your channel

There is an easy game mod to install in that community pack 2.0 mode u can choose to install widescreen, music and voodoo mod to keep the original look and feel of the game while having a proper widescreen aspect ratio also fixes the flickering shadows

Another great review, your editing and narration are sublime.

Nice video 👍 can u do midtown madness next

Wow, what a treat for us that you did this review. Very well said - that the game makes you reconsider what you think of it throughout your playthrough. I used to feel that 'Mafia' was my favorite game of all time, but the poor gunplay and covershooting mechanics, extremely repetitive pixel precision in shooting towards the end of the game, and the harbor and racing levels make it hard to honestly recommend. It's bewildering that the devs weren't questioned on some of these infuriating gameplay characteristics. The experience holds value, but time and time again in this game your patience will be tested. The box stacking in the harbor seems like 'gamer abuse' to me.

I never understood how to trigger the two endings in the Morello mission. You could kill him on the plane or in the dam, but I never knew how to define those options. Great game and very good review

Nice timing, we're getting rumors of a switch release of Mafia 2.

Wait really?

You always review the right games man

Love your videos

you missed a lot of details, for example how certain missions have multiple outcomes (the morello chase in particular has 3 possible endings), how certain missions had items you could interact with (for example, you could get drunk on the boat mission) and most importantly how the detailed car damage worked, for example if you got shot at and the bullets hit your door, roof or any other unimportant area your engine wouldnt get damaged and the car wouldnt get slower, and how bullets hitting your suspension actually messes with your handling, or how a bullet hitting your fuel tank does gradually drain your cars fuel etc

Only game where the enemy npc's run out of ammo. The car physics are annoying but authentic. The 1930's atmosphere is insane and the nice thing is that you can actually turn the engine off.

Hotline Miami is where enemies could also run out of ammo.

My favorite game of all time, first time played it in 2007 and I've completed it about 10 times by today. For me it was perfect, and still pretty much is. I do highly appreciate realistic games like Mafia. It's pretty damn hard at first, but after a while the mechanics become a second nature. I don't even think it needs a remake, it's great as it is.

One of the first games I could afford with my own money 😅, still looks awesome so many years later, great review!

Great review! I just finished it playing last week and i enjoyed it too much. So many point in this video are true. I've been put off the game first time i tried it because i couldn't navigate the map,for a simple reason that my map was either bugged or i couldn't open it while i was walking which i didn't know.Or the car chases which were so stressful to the point of punching your monitor.But after the first few hours the game just becomes SO MUCH REWARDING!. To compare it to other games i would say its like The Getaway or Gta 4 + Dark Souls because of the lenght of the missions and joyfulness after you complete the mission. Only thing i didn't like about this game is that damn speed limit on the roads,its just too low, or the framerate issues on windows 10 which i fixed by opening and closing steam overlay in game(worked 90% of times). But other than that the game is enjoyable after first 3 hours of playing becomes more fun and harder. Oh yea and the graphics are actually good for the age in comparison to gta vice city or the games of that age.

Hay @colorshedproductions are you going to do a review on the remake?

I loved this game, even though today it might feel outdated it's still one of the best games of all time. And I recently replayed Mafia 2 so I'm curious what you feel about this one too. I'd say it's almost as good as the first one, really worth coming back to. Too bad there's no real 3rd Mafia, I really hope there will once again be a great Mafia story in game industry.

I love this game. Completed it 3 times. The PC version is definitely the best one to play 👍🏻

I finished this around 2003-2004 i think, i never replayed it but still had such a great impression on me as a kid, one of my favourite games for sure, the story was amazing.

Fun fact: Chief designer of Mafia 1, was doing the same job while making Mafia 2, but, after that, he created his own game development studio, known as Warhorse Studios which stands behind Kingdom Come Deliverance

THANK FUCKING GOD SOMEONE DID A REVIEW ON IT. JESUS IT'S BEEN 20 OR 19 YEARS

That racing mission was hard I kept flipping the car over lol

I love playing old games and am not a stickler for graphics but I think for almost 20 years old the original pc version looks pretty good. Must have been mind blowing in its day

Glad you did this game bc I've never played it but always wanted to. I beat mafia 2 and 3 and love the series. Really hope they remake this and maybe the 2nd. They can't let these get lost to time

I loved this game and it's music... every few years I search for gameplay footage and enjoy the music.

I still can't think of any other games which capture that era so well
