This game is a few years old now I think, but I picked it up at Fry's for $10. Seriously, this game is awesome, it just oozes style; I haven't had this much fun with a game since Max Payne!

Anyway, if you've played the game, post your thoughts on it. If not, post your bargain gaming experiences!

sex on 3 discs...

i've had more good bargain bin deals than i could easily remember for a post...maybe later when i can look through my game collection

I remember playing bits from there and that, but the damn crashed on my comp back then.

I could play it again someday.

Awesome game. I think I'll load it up again when I have the time. It feels good to be a gangster:cool:

I only played the demo, but it was really good.

One thing I noticed, when I first got hired into the Mafia, the Don said the cops were on our payroll, but if I went over the limits they wouldn't ignore it. Well I guess speeding is considered over the limits because I kept getting police chasing me and trying to arrest me for it.

use the speed limiter

Yeah. They'll come after you if you break the speed limit at all.

Loved the game.
Loved the fight scenes, loved the storyline, loved the atmosphere.
HATED HATED HATED the driving, how the cars worked.
Yes I know, it was realistic, but I still hated it.
I still enjoyed myself thoroughly (except during some of the drviing parts) but I knew when I finished it I'd never play it again.
And I haven't.

Undoubtedly one of my favourite games of all-time.

It's got everything you could ever want in a game.

Best third person gunfights in a game ever, and it doesn't even have to resort to dual-wielding weapons or slow-mo. I love the small discrete effects, like the fatally wounded attempting to creep away on the floor, or how your shots can actually penetrate through some materials like thin wooden frames, doors, cars or furniture. The best comparison I have is the sublime end gunfight in L.A. Confidential with Guy Pearce and Russel Crowe holed up in the motel.

Lovely Django Reihardt music, of whom I was a fan even before playing the game, yet it fits perfectly. Minor Swing crackling from the radio while purring around in a Duesenberg J in Little Italy is perfect.

I love vintage cars (Luuuurved the race and roaring through the city in a Bugatti), art-déco architecture, Chicago and New York, prohibition era Americana, and mob movies. It's like it was tailor-made for me. Possibly my favourite game ever.
