| | The production on Mafia however is improved from those earlier efforts, and the sound is different, comparing more to Blessed Hellrise etc. The quality of the song writing is pretty much similar to previous BLS albums, so theres still the standard features... | | | To go along with these BLS staples though, there seems to be a new inventiveness to some songs on Mafia, with talkbox riffs and good piano and minimoog parts actually adding to some songs! | | | What Zakk Wylde's done with this album is simple. |

| | Hoping to remedy this is the recently released mob-flavored third-person action title called - appropriately enough -- Mafia. | | | The fact that they're not all-knowing and all-seeing and can even be outrun gives you the impression that they are every bit as human as you, which is a definite nice change of pace from what we've become used to in other titles. | | | In truly cinematic fashion, Mafia opens with your character sitting in a café, relating the dirty details of his mob career to a hard-nosed police detective; however, as is the case with every good mob tale, the story truly begins at the very bottom of the family ladder. |

| | With all the bad stuff out of the way, you'd think I'd want Mafia's designers to have some concrete boots fitted. | | | Quite why is difficult to fathom as it would have extended the lifespan of the game far longer than the throwaway Race mode, but there you go. | | | Even the between mission banter while you're driving along keeps things interesting, and the use of Django Reinhardt, one of the finest Jazz guitarists, as a soundtrack is an inspired choice - although admittedly a little repetitive after 20 hours of play (he says, with the jolly jingles still bouncing through his head). |
