I rented this and played it for 4 days straight. The game is long and the sound production is one of the best Ive ever heard with the surround on. Not as gruesome or realistic as the Getaway, but the controls are way better. A few missions are kinda pointless like drive from point a to b, but the rest of the missions are very well thought out and impressive. Then theres the cars. If your tired of the same old vehicles you'll be quite intrigued by these oldies.
Awesome game

I am all for people expressing their opinions, but I will say that this game is much better than some of the negative reviews would have you believe. The missions are fun and challenging enough to keep you interested, not frustrated, and the settings/environments are nice.
In response to some of the reviews, I would like to point out that the driving in Mafia is not difficult. It is different because it uses the triggers for acceleration and reverse as opposed to the more common button method, but it is not difficult. You will pick up on the controls and handling in no time at all.
Also, Mafia is not Grand Theft Auto, and it is not meant to be. I don't know why people continue to rate every game based on how it compares to GTA.
The only aspects of the game that may take some getting use to are the reloading and aiming techniques. It is actually a bit more realistic than other titles, but the timing will frustrate you at first. A trick that I have learned is to keep your backup weapons loaded so that you can switch to them for a quick shot when one piece is empty/reloading.
Bottom line: Whether you rent or buy, you won't be disappointed with Mafia, as it is a fun game.
