Reviews for "Mafia game"
A great idea, just a shame of the sloppyness
I have to say, this is probably one of the most original and games I’ve seen on so far, and has real promise. It’s just a shame of the silly little glitches that prevent us from finishing this…
First off, graphics. Pretty good actually; I know other people have been complaining about the graphics a bit but I liked the sketchy style you seem to have taken with this, it looks and feels artistic, and is much more realistic than MS Painted graphics. The introduction to the game looked and FELT exciting with your character walking up to the man in the chair and shooting him to death, later to be seen lying in a pool of blood dead on the floor at the beginning of the game. “Mafia game” had a certain grungy feel to it unlike some other games, it has a dark and gloomy setting to it and generally has a moody theme. The same goes for the text introduction to each chapter, nice gloomy grey font on a black background. Such small little details in the game as this really give it a sense of tone and a particularly good Mafia feel to it. I liked the way that you had put detail into the actual characters of the game, however maybe some more than others. For example, the character the player controlled looked nothing short of awesome, the way you had given him a stern face with a moustache, hat tilted forward and black glasses – a very ‘Mafia’ look. On the other hand though, you hadn’t put as much detail into the other Mafia enemies. I feel you hadn’t really balanced the detail in the characters as much as you could have, and the same goes for the backgrounds. Some parts of the environment you moved around in looked excellent in that same artistic etchy-sketchy look; but parts of the scene just didn’t look as if it had the same effort put into it; for example I noticed the way you had tried to empathise right tones and shadows were by scrawling a different shade of colour across in very Paint-looking lines, I feel the artistic look was a little overdone in some places. As for animations though, they were mainly good.; I like the way your character moved along with the end of his Tommy gun over his shoulder, the only thing I would complain about is that the splatter of blood from an enemy are just red lines, and the animation of swinging the knife seemed a little timid, I think a swinging of the knife would be better.
Next, sounds. Really nothing much to complain about here, I liked the music and the way you differed it in each scene. The sounds of the guns being fired were very satisfying too. The only opportunity you missed are voiceovers, and some nice dying sounds from enemies would be a welcome addition.
Finally, game-play. Definitely the cream of the game, it had a satisfying Mafia feel to it both in the style and action. The Tommy guns you used for weapons were very accurate to the Mafia style. I was also pleased to see blood in this game too, I loved the way the enemies surrounded in a pool of blood with their hats slumped on the floor off their heads – if there’s one thing that’s good in this game, it’s the gun-toting action. However, I did feel it was just a case of bashing the ‘z’ buttons at times especially since the enemies seemed to spawn off the screen, which I found pretty frustrating because it made the game a lot harder, the same goes to say that sometimes a mob of enemies spawned, some right in your character which meant you couldn’t attack. The main glitch that lets this game down though, is the fact I couldn’t even finish the game. In the training level my trainer wandered right off the screen every time I played. (technically giving he game only 2 levels), which of course was very disappointing. You of course, need to fix this.
Overall, probably one of the most original shoot-em-up’s on the NG and one with good potential. It’s just a shame that some sloppy game-play and glitches let this game down so much, it gives the feeling that the game is rushed and doesn’t bring out the ‘Mafia’ feel as much as it could have. Nevertheless, well done :)

this is stolen
Fairly Good
I like the game, I did. If you were going for a not so violent look, then it was pretty good, but if you wanted it violent then maybe make the blood look more real. Also, the bad guys at the start come on to the screen to early... maybe make your screen scroll when your further back or make the bad guys run on faster.
Great Job though!
wasted.....
Great production values and mechanics.......shoddy enemies and gameplay. Its a shame such a cool game went to waste. Nice cutscenes, cool following! Fix it up a little and dont give up, and u could get front page!
