Evaluation

This is the original 2002 release of Mafia (subtitled "The City of Lost Heaven"), a single-player story-driven game that launched as a complete, self-contained experience. The store description describes only the base game's content — missions, vehicles, and weapons — with no mention of DLC, expansions, or ongoing updates. A re-release note about an edited soundtrack is the only modification referenced. The most recent developer news for this listing (August 20, 2024) is an announcement for a separate entry in the franchise, Mafia: The Old Country, which is an entirely different game. The earlier news post (September 30, 2020) announced the Mafia: Definitive Edition — a full remake of this original game, released as a standalone product. Neither of these posts indicates any new content planned for this original 2002 release itself. There is no DLC listed, no post-launch update history for this version of the game, and no developer statements indicating any future content for it. The game shipped in 2002 as a finished product and has remained unchanged in substance (aside from the soundtrack edit noted on the store page).

About this game

It’s 1930. After an inadvertent brush with the mafia, cabdriver Tommy Angelo is reluctantly thrust into the world of organized crime. Initially, he is uneasy about falling in with the Salieri family, but soon the rewards become too big to ignore. As he rises through the ranks, the paydays keep getting bigger, but the jobs get even dirtier. Tommy may ultimately earn the respect of the Salieris, but becoming a Made Man will leave him more conflicted than ever with the new life he has chosen.

Experience New Heaven

Explore more than 12 square miles of New Heaven, a quintessential 1930's American city based on historic Depression-era architecture and culture.

Authentic Story and Action-packed Gameplay

Play more than 20 thrilling missions inspired by events from the 1930’s. Rise through the ranks of the Salieri family from foot-soldier to Made Man, taking on mob hits, car chases, bootlegging, shootouts, bank robberies and more.

Era-inspired Vehicles and Weapons

As a daring getaway driver, get behind the wheel of more than 60 historically-inspired cars featuring realistic physics and real-time damage.

Complete those grittier jobs with more than a dozen weapons at your disposal. Choose from baseball bats, sawed-off shotguns, magnums and the renowned Tommy gun to deal with any wise guy who dares to cross you.

Note: This rerelease of Mafia has an edited soundtrack and does not include any licensed music.
