Played time 44h ... played it to nearly 100% with some exceptions.

First off, this game ist f...ing awsome. Long time not played such a good game.

So i will compare it to a well known other game, thats one off the best and knd off the same genre.

GTA V

Graphics: a big plus to GTA V. More detailed and less visual bugs. But Mafia's graohic is up to date and more than ok. The only bad thing is, that there are multiple visual bugs during the game
Soundtrack/Sound: equal ... in GTA V there is more diversity with the different radiochanels, but when you (as i do) love the sound of the 60s and 70s, mafia is far ahead. If you are kind of neutral, the sountrack is equal ;)
Story: There is only one thing missing in the story of mafia to be equal to GTA V... Trevor ... ;) ...
Gameplay: equal ... driving seetings to simulation, and mafia is a hole lot of fun in drifting with mussclecars in the different wetherssituations. Ok, in GTA there are a lot more cars, and cars with much more different styles, but in the end i enjoyed the "unperfect" style of the old cars more in mafia ... aiming is much to easy in mafia. I mainly used the handgun and sliped through like butter without any problems. Also the difference between the guns is pretty neat. So here is a big plus to GTA. Another part of the gameplay that i don't like is the fact, that you can not jump always. So sometimes you stand in front of a 20cm wall and you can not get up. Much better in GTA, where you can climb nearly verything.

So in comparrison GTA is the better game. Especialy because of the multiplayer, wich entertains you another cupple of hours after finishing the story. Never the less Mafia III is a very good game which you should give a try, when you enjoyed GTA games. The Story is great, the cars are awsome and the atmosphere is brilliant. Worth every euro spend!
