Mafia (Xbox)

Mafia Xbox brings the 1930s underworld to life in this third-person 3-D action game. Rise from the lowly but well-dressed Foot soldier to the envied and feared Made Man in an era of big bands, zoot suits and Model Ts. Take on the role of a hit man, enforcer, getaway driver and more in your struggle for respect, money and power with the Salieri Family.

There are 20 action-packed missions each of which have their own sub-quests. Luxury and riches are yours for the taking, if you do as Don Salieri has requested. From mob hits, car chases, shoot-outs and more, complete the unsavoury tasks the Family needs done and you will be handsomely rewarded. As well as the missions, there are over 12 square miles of the 1930s American city, with simulated traffic, landmarks and surrounding landscapes to explore, it's a sprawling city where opportunity is around every corner.

The environments pull you into the 1930s with their attention to detail and style. From seedy bars and hotel rooms to train stations and airports--every location is rendered in fantastic detail by the 3-D "LS3D" engine, such as the Lost Heaven International Airport and Chinatown. You get to try out some classic firepower, such as the Tommy Gun, Colt 1911, S&W model 27 Magnum, or pump-action shotgun. In addition, drive over 60 different vehicles (including the Model T, Roadsters and delivery trucks) with some of the most realistic car physics ever made in a game.
