The player takes the role of taxi driver Thomas (Tommy) Angelo, who, while trying to make a living on the streets of Lost Heaven, unexpectedly and unwillingly becomes involved in organized crime as a driver for the Salieri crime family, led by Don Salieri.
Through the events of the game's story, Tommy begins to rise through the ranks of the Salieri 'family', which is currently battling the competing Morello family, led by the sharply-dressed Don Morello. Eventually becoming disillusioned by his life of crime and violence, Tommy arranges to meet a detective (Detective Norman) in order to tell him his story, to be given witness-protection, and to aid the detective in the destruction of the Salieri crime family. The 'Intermezzo' chapters of the game depict Tommy sitting in a cafe with the detective, relating his life story and giving out important pieces of information at the same time.

Can I run ?
PC Specs
Hello guys, i managed to max it out on my laptop Dell E6430 with integrated graphics (i7 3540m) ,16GB RAM 1600Mhz (not that u will need it) and 1600x900 display. While playing, the CPU stays at 10% and the RAM stays at 13%. The game is worth playing!
PC Specs
Nice Game i have played 3 times whole story
PC Specs
Hey guys. I was wondering if i could run this game on my PC. Settings and FPS. Probably wouldn't turn AA all the way up. Thanks.
PC Specs
You'll need WineD3D for this to work under Windows 10, and it won't work very well. You can (mostly) max it out though. It won't matter. It just won't run very smoothly all the time.
PC Specs
Oh hang on, I've found out that it will also run without WineD3D on Windows 10. You'll need to disable AA in the game settings (though forcing it through your gpu driver will work), then the game will work very well
PC Specs
Has anyone been able to play this well on Windows 10? I got it running with WineD3D, but it does stutter quite a bit, while it ran at a perfectly solid 60fps on W7.
PC Specs

PC Specs
Hi, can I ask - Why is Mafia lagging on my Pc? 20-fps... My CPU is oc. to 2.1 GhZ
PC Specs
You probably have a program that is blocking out the game or you have too much programs open...
PC Specs
OH I forgot also update all drivers and make sure your computer has no software that cancels it out.. because it happens with lots of thing in example : I had a game called Rugby 2001 And it had soem .dat files that made google chrome corrupt.......
PC Specs
update your drivers,defrag your drive,and check for viruses...that might solve the prob..
PC Specs
hi
PC Specs

PC Specs
You should update your drivers,i'm not sure about the problem.

PC Specs
Go on your application properties.. Then click run in compatibility mode for Windows 2000 or Windows 98..
PC Specs
Oh and you have a very small screen resolution.. is your computer a netbook? because not all netbooks can play games.. My cousin cant play games on her netbook she tryed to play black ops but it wouldnt work
PC Specs
