Mafia: The Old Country

Set on the idyllic Italian island of Sicily in 1904, this is a cinematic yarn that puts story and character first, and gameplay a distant second.

Some games are like a shot of cheap tequila, all frantic action and a nasty headache afterwards. Mafia: The Old Country is more like a bottle of table wine. It might not have the most sophisticated notes, and the finish can be a bit rough, but sink into the sofa with it, and you'll find a rich, story-driven experience that's worth savouring. It's a game that asks you to have the patience of a saint and the morals of, well, a mobster.
