About

Mafia, released in 2002, is a landmark 3D action crime game that immerses players in the ruthless world of 1930s organized crime. You'll progress from street-level enforcer to feared Made Man within the Salieri Family, taking on missions as a getaway driver, hitman, and tough enforcer. The game combines action, adventure, and narrative-driven storytelling to create a compelling crime epic that helped define the genre.

As a 20-year-old title, Mafia is highly accessible on modern hardware and won't demand a powerful GPU to achieve smooth FPS performance. The game runs comfortably on integrated graphics and mid-range cards, making it ideal for benchmark testing on older or budget systems. Most modern setups will deliver 60+ FPS at high graphics settings, though you can run it on nearly any dedicated GPU from the last decade without performance concerns.

With an 86/100 rating, Mafia stands as a classic that remains worth playing for fans of narrative-driven action games and crime stories. If you appreciate immersive storytelling set in a historical crime setting, this is an essential experience despite its age.

Performance profile

Released in August 2002, Mafia comes from the DirectX 9 era. Even the cheapest modern discrete GPU crushes it at maxed-out settings; the only real bottleneck today is CPU single-thread speed on older titles that were never multi-threaded.

Mafia is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Extremely light — Mafia runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

Mafia is set in the 1930s, between the fall of 1930 through to the end of 1938, during the later part of Prohibition, which ended in 1933. The game is set in the fictional American city of Lost Heaven (loosely based on New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago of the same time period). The player takes the role of taxi driver Thomas "Tommy" Angelo, who, while trying to make a living on the streets of Lost Heaven as a taxi cab driver, unexpectedly and unwillingly becomes involved in organized crime as a driver and enforcer for the Salieri crime family, led by Don Ennio Salieri.
