Mafia II has generated some controversy following its release. Sonia Alfano, a member of the European Parliament and president of Italy's association for the families of Mafia victims and whose father was murdered by the Mafia, called for the game to be banned. [28] Take-Two Interactive responded to the issue, stating that the game's depiction of the American Mafia was no different from organized crime films such as The Godfather. They also responded to allegations of racism from Unico National, who claimed that the game portrayed Italian Americans unfairly and "indoctrinating" youth into violent stereotypes.

Some very clunky inputs can make getting about in Mafia: Definitive Edition a chore as movement speed takes a nose dive the more you wrestle with it. Tommy controls like a tank at even the best of times, and unfortunately, this also extends to the shooting. An inaccurate aiming reticule is almost always to blame for misplaced shots, but even just getting it to correctly line up with an enemy's head can be a mission and a half. These mechanics have been borrowed from Mafia III, but even they feel outdated four years later. Mafia III was developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K Games for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in October 2016. It was later released for macOS in May 2017, and for Google Stadia in October 2021. Set within the fictional city of New Bordeaux, based on New Orleans, in 1968, the game follows former criminal and Vietnam veteran Lincoln Clay, who is forced to return to a life of crime to help his adoptive family settle problems with the local branch of the Mafia. After the Mafia betray and murder his family, Lincoln embarks on a quest for revenge while slowly building a criminal empire and seizing power from other criminal organisations in the city.Remastered in HD, live the life of a gangster during the Golden-era of organized crime. War hero Vito Scaletta becomes entangled with the mob in hopes of paying his father’s debts. Alongside his buddy Joe, Vito works to prove himself, climbing the family ladder with crimes of larger reward, status and consequence. To coincide with the release of Mafia II, a mobile version was developed by Twistbox Games and published by Oasys Mobile; the iOS version was published by Connect2Media. However, the game is not a direct adaptation of Mafia II, and instead serves as a prequel that bridges the gap between the first two Mafia games. The story follows Marco Russotto, a soldato in the Salieri crime family and the nephew of the family's gunsmith Vincenzo, who travels to Empire Bay to find and kill Tommy Angelo as revenge for his betrayal of the family. The game features two possible endings, but only one is canon and leads into the events of Mafia II. Guinness Gives Mafia II The F-Bomb Record". Kotaku.com. September 16, 2010 .

Re-made from the ground up, rise the ranks of the mafia during the Prohibition-era of organized crime in America. After an inadvertent brush with the mob, cabdriver Tommy Angelo is reluctantly thrust into the world of organized crime. Initially uneasy about falling in with the Salieri family, the rewards become too big to ignore.Leading man Andrew Bongiorno’s performance as working class mobster Tommy is an especially strong and subtle one. I wouldn’t say I ever necessarily felt sympathetic to Tommy, but there’s definitely a severity and a real potency to Bongiorno’s portrayal of him that’s compelling and believable. The repartee between Tommy and Detective Norman is particularly strong as they each bristle with mistrust and verbally wrestle for the upper hand during their unlikely conversation. If these games wanted you to know anything about them, it’s that they’re very very serious. They tell serious stories in serious ways and don’t have time any of those silly diversions that those other popular crime dramas have. They deal with topics like racism, so they can get away with liberally tossing out racial slurs without any repercussions. Glibness aside, the story in the first game’s remake is probably my favourite of the bunch, even if the voice acting is often suspect. The other stories are fine, Lincoln Clay’s dogged quest for revenge after returning home from the horrors of Vietnam is enthralling, and Vito Scaletta’s descent into the cynical nihilism of the 1940’s underground as he skirts responsibility for all his crimes and failings were all enjoyable, the former more so than the latter, but Tommy Angelo’s journey from cabbie to made man felt like a fuller story with some actual character development thrown into the mix.
