Mafia & The Thing need help
 

I bought both games about 4-6 months ago,only played for 15 minutes oOo:
I just can't get into it,It's just me or the games sucks,please give your feedback on those games.I find myself playing MoH Omaha Beach & V2 all the time,even bouth a PS2 again,but it's just collecting dust.I can't stop playing MoH, damn it. fire1: Medal of Hornor M16:

I thought mafia was pretty good. Great story line, a little tedious and slow, but still a worthy game. It finally wore me down with having to replay a 10-15 minute segment over and over because you got shot in the last 30 seconds. The lack of a quick save kept me from finishing it and made an otherwise great game only mediocre.

Never played the thing.

One thing I learned about my gaming habits, is that I should never buy more than one game at a time. I will play one and let the other rot, no matter how good.

I love mafia. Unfortunatly it ran like a bitch on my slow pc so i couldnt enjoy it much but when i got it working at a decent frame rate it was great. good story, varied missions, great fun in the cars and getting chased by sterotypical irish police.
And a shocking twist at the end cry:

Maybe gangster stuff isnt your idea of fun, but id give it another chance.
Im sick of MOH. the omaha beach thing was a huge let down. great build up and then.... is that it finished already?

The thing is ok, it has some neat ideas like the fear factor of your team mates. Inject one with a testing fluid and if it comes out negative, he will be pissed off that you dont trust him and hence lose some of your trust and tell you where to go when you ask him to move.
and then running around shooting at nothing freaks out your mates who panic and shoot anything - even you. fun fun fun.

Definatly give both games a chance. dust off that PS2 and get gta:vice city.

Mafia is great...those that race took me SO LONG

i also thoroughly enjoyed mafia. it was like a 30's era gta3...but with better graphics and way better storyline. however , as pest mentioned the lack of a quicksave feature really hampered this games potential. if it had a quicksave the replay value would have been huge. at least for me. i loved the twist at the end, and i loved the shear size of the damn city! amazing.

Mafia was a cool game but the racing level was way to hard for me, i just couldnt do it.

You have to get your controler working for the race. It only took me a couple of tries once I quit trying to use the keyboard.

Ill just do a free ride and go kill police.
