Remember the classics.
On August 7, one Mafia -The fourth game in Se -ri (except for a remake). Instead of the number, the game has received subtitles from the old country and becomes a story of the original trio.
Instead of storms along the vast streets from police officers – Sicilia landscape about the early 20th century and leisurely trips on horses and retro cars. In the context of the first new mafia launch in nine years (!)
Fourth place: Mafia 3
- Developer: Hangar 13
- Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC
- Genre: The plot action in the open world

Don't think Mafia 3 is not a terrible game. Moreover, this is a good game. And if she doesn't belong to the series, she will be aware even better. But gamers have something to compare. Unlike the first two parts, in Mafia 3 classic mafia atmosphere is not felt. The whole story does not focus on the criminal struggle of Mafiosi competent Italy, but the revenge of veteran Lincoln Clay.
IN Mafia 3 Starts and finals are almost ideal, but after the beginning, the game slipped to mediocre, killing all of them and whistling all the territories in the open world in repeated tasks to clean up the enemy's points. It is a clear reference about Advanposts from Ubisoft. Uncomfortable and uncomfortable … Reference.
Simultaneously Mafia 3 can be praised for an excellent music, recognized as one of the best films in the series, for the style of documentation and for a unique context. New Bordo, New Orleans, appeared in the atmosphere, with all this racial and jazz tension.
The main sin of the third part is not interacting with the expectations of fans who want to continue the story of the father's spirit, but have received Far Far Cry with the surrounding mafia. But at least with the plot, developers in general.
Third place: Mafia 2
- Developer: 2k Czech

Mafia 2 is a spiritual atmosphere game, but something is wrong with it. If you find it, then a lot. Firstly, many chapters have been cut, because the story seems to be torn. The world opened only in words, after the first chapters, it turned out to be empty and closed, unable to enter buildings, and no one thought of the side effects of mediocre.
The missions have been reduced for shootings and trips, a lot, and there are too few unique tasks (like when Vito drunk Joe and Eddie). But of course, there are pleasant moments. The story of Vito clinging to emotions: It is interesting to watch their friendship with Joe, and end with the phrase of worship, Joe Joe did not participate in the agreement that found his way to the famous.
Physics of machines with drifting in the winter and the need to accurately refuel. Therefore, you can also receive a fine from the gait! The graphics at that time were considered an advanced, and the background music was remembered. However, the most important thing is that the installation of 40-50s has been handed over perfectly. Until now, in the memory, that cozy winter empire with Christmas lights and songs of Dean Martin.
Mafia 2 is the case when you love and hate at the same time. If you value the game more and for you, it is the first time Mafia – Then you put her in a position (or even two) higher. However, directly evaluate: great potential and obscure implementation.
Second place: Mafia: definitive version

Firstly Mafia Strong, especially for those who have not played it before. Not only graphics, but also many outdated mechanics. She must simply be properly modernized. Mafia: The decisive version deals with this, although not 100%, but 80-90 certainly.
New technologies make it more expressive, especially in emotional scenes. Driving mechanics and shooting have become more convenient and more realistic. Developers are revered by the main points, including the famous task for a race. It turned out that a real classic film, although with the elements of Hollywood – the classic Czech works were clearly regenerated by Americans.
The only thing due to licensing limitations is the original soundtrack that has been replaced with a new version. The new music usually does not correspond to the atmosphere of the scenes – for example, an alarming melody is played in episodes with mafia meetings, like in a horror film. Plus some animations (especially physics destroy machines) have been inherited from Mafia 3 and look unnatural.
Mafia: The definitive version – a successful remake. The authors have managed to preserve WYB nostalgic, do not damage the original and make it even more beautiful and can be presented.
First place: Mafia: Lost Heaven City
- Developer: Illusion Softworks (after – 2k Czech)
- Foundation: PS2, Xbox, PC
- Genre: Story Action
- Escape date: August 28, 2002

Mafia: Lost Heaven City at a time has a great impact on the video game industry. This is the first game where the plot is served as an interesting gangster story of Hollywood level. The similar scene of the murder on the subway is a pure reference about “once in the US”.
Mafia tried even better than GTA. She introduced her driving physics with damage, fines to accelerate and demand for refueling. In 2002, it was an unimaginable level of reality. And most importantly, c Mafia The cities did not seem to be empty and died: pedestrians reacted to crimes, and the police sat tightly on the tail.
Yes, many of the physical outdated mechanisms: the trip is very complicated, and the cars acting like boxes on the ice surface, the shelter system is primitive and no goals from the thighs. Graphics at the level of PlayStation 2 game early and the enemy is too stupid and innocent. But we feel all of this and see now, and then the disadvantages seem to be like that.
It is like a Muslim Father – technically, he will not impress a young viewer with special effects, but rather than his script and actions beyond time. If you are ready to offer an outdated game for a unique atmosphere – it's worth it. If not, the remake will be a good replacement.
