Following this year’s re-releases of\u00a0Mafia 2\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a03,\u00a0<\/em>Mafia: Definitive Edition\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>looks to be a stunning remake of the classic organized-crime action game of the same name that released back in 2002. Developed from the ground-up, it\u00a0follows\u00a0the story of mobster Tommy Angelo<\/a>, who grows from a cab-driver into a fully-fledged member of the Salieri crime family.<\/p>\n

The original game was\u00a0acclaimed at the time for its incredible story and intense action-gameplay, with many seeing it as the best of the\u00a0Mafia\u00a0<\/em>trilogy<\/a> and an often underrated early 2000s gem. The remake looks to bring that seminal gameplay and cinematic story to modern hardware, implementing additions from the later games to make the first\u00a0Mafia\u00a0<\/em>into an experience that can thrive in the modern landscape.<\/p>\n

The question is, did Hangar 13 manage to capitalize on this ambitious goal? Luckily, with the game releasing tomorrow, critics have given their thoughts on whether\u00a0Mafia: Definitive Edition<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>holds up when measured against its 2002 predecessor. With reviews flooding in, it’s time to see if Hangar 13’s remake does justice to Tommy Angelo’s timeless mobster tale.<\/p>\n

GameRant<\/a>\u00a0(Cameron Corliss)<\/p>\n

“Those looking for a nostalgia trip will find it here, but there are some huge asterisks to consider before diving in.\u00a0Mafia: Definitive Edition\u00a0is just right for those looking to kill a few evenings before the\u00a0fall’s bigger games\u00a0start rolling in, or those that have fond memories of the franchise. It’s got a pile of problems to sort out, but at the same time, it scratches an itch that few other games can.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Score: 3.5 \/ 5<\/p>\n

Destructoid<\/a> (Brett Makedonski)<\/p>\n

“All this time, the first Mafia was the best of the trio. It just took a phenomenal effort from Hangar 13 to do it justice with Mafia: Definitive Edition. This feels like the rare necessary remake that elevates and builds upon the original. It’s truly an offer you can’t refuse.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Score: 9 \/ 10<\/p>\n

IGN<\/a> (Luke Reilly)<\/p>\n

“Completely rebuilt from the ground up, Mafia: Definitive Edition features excellent performances from its new cast, a fantastic driving model, and a beautiful and authentic city oozing with 1930s atmosphere like overfilled cannoli. It\u2019s hobbled slightly by its fairly vanilla third-person combat \u2013 and it arguably wastes the potential of its entirely overhauled world by not crafting a few new ways to utilise more of it \u2013 but it\u2019s still a successful rejuvenation of the best story in the series to date, and one that can now stand beside 2016\u2019s Mafia III as an equal, rather than a quaint but crusty ancestor.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Score 8 \/ 10<\/p>\n

GAMINGBible<\/a> (Julian Benson)<\/p>\n

“If you’re a fan of the original Mafia then you should give this remake a try. It captures the spirit of the game while also making it a thoroughly modern shooter. If you never played Mafia, then this doesn’t feel like a nostalgia project but a new game. The split structure of the story mode and open world may be unusual when lined up against its current competitors, but if you find yourself lost in large open worlds like Assassin’s Creed and are looking for something that has more respect for your time, Mafia may be for you.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Score: 8 \/ 10<\/p>\n

PCGamesN<\/a> (Carrie Talbot)<\/p>\n

“The\u00a0crime game\u2019s\u00a0not long (I completed the main campaign comfortably in around 16 hours), and its vignette-like story means you only get snapshots of the mobster\u2019s life over a series of years, so there\u2019s not a lot of space or time to get properly acquainted. But, with some players calling for shorter, more focused offerings in reaction to the daunting scale of many recent open-world games, Mafia: DE is kind of a balm. It\u2019s refreshing to return to the genre\u2019s nascence, to follow missions laid out before you, and just enjoy it for what it is: a great story you play through, with enough sizzle to be satisfying.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Score: 8 \/ 10<\/p>\n

TheGamer<\/a>\u00a0(Bella Blondeau)<\/p>\n

“That doesn’t mean, to me, that Mafia is a bad game – far from it. It’d be hard to classify something with this much emotional resonance, honesty, and maturity as “bad”. However, it\u00a0is\u00a0a challenging game – the sort that you give a reserved recommendation, a real “it has some problems but I liked it” situation. If you’re looking for a smooth, polished experience, then yes, you might want to leave this one sleeping with the fishes. However, if you’re in the mood for a slow, moody mafia yarn with an excellent atmosphere and a compelling story, then Mafia’s a decent contender.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Score: 3 \/ 5<\/p>\n

Game Informer<\/a> (Jeff Cork)<\/p>\n

“The original Mafia was well-received at its release, and I\u2019m sure a lot of people remember it fondly. For me, it\u2019s something that\u2019s probably best seen as a foundational statement in a series that got better over time and subsequent entries. As part of the Mafia trilogy, it\u2019s an interesting footnote on what came before. As a standalone game that can hold its own against modern titles in the open-world genre? Fugetaboutit.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Score: 5.5 \/ 10<\/p>\n

EuroGamer<\/a> (Chris Tapsell)<\/p>\n

“The wider result, then, is one of wasted opportunity, a cardinal sin in ’30s USA – the land of it, lest we forget. There are good moments in Mafia: Definitive Edition, some good times and some fond memories – I stand by my love of the radio, the rain patter, the cars, when you’re not driving them – but the rest is at best nostalgia, which only goes so far.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Score: N\/A<\/p>\n

Overall, it seems like\u00a0Mafia: Definitive Edition\u00a0<\/em>is a mostly successful recreation of its iconic source material. While a number of publications have noted that the experience is rough around the edges – citing glitches, bugs, and more – many have claimed that the game’s\u00a0exceptional story remains intact, making it\u00a0a\u00a0short\u00a0but sweet blast from the past. According to\u00a0most critics, if\u00a0players have been\u00a0fans of the\u00a0Mafia\u00a0<\/em>franchise<\/a> for years and can’t wait to jump back into this gloriously remade vision of Angelo’s rise through the mobster ranks, there’s likely a lot here for them. If not, then this is a solid action game with some unsatisfying shooting mechanics but a very\u00a0enjoyable organized crime story.<\/p>\n

Currently bagging a decent 79 on Metacritic,\u00a0Mafia: Definitive Edition\u00a0<\/em>seems to be having a solid start on the critical circuit. Of course, more reviews will make their way onto the aggregate site in the coming days, so the score is likely to fluctuate in the next week. Until then, it looks to be sitting at around the midpoint for recent remakes, falling below the likes of\u00a0Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake\u00a0<\/em>but above both\u00a0SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated\u00a0<\/em>and Destroy All Humans<\/a>. <\/em>It’ll be interesting to see how the game’s critical score looks after the dust\u00a0has settled.<\/p>\n

Mafia: The Definitive Edition\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>will be available on September 25 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
