Play OverviewPlay Overview

Mafia Definitive Edition (2002) is a series of action/adventure games about being in the Mafia. You play Tommy Angelo, a poor hard-working cab driver who gets caught up in a fight between two crime families. You explore a large open city taking on criminal activities to rise through the ranks of organised crime.

You explore and discover missions from mafia figures that you complete to progress the story. Like Grand Theft Auto you can use vehicles, enter buildings, interact with characters and generally live the life of a gangsta in a living breathing city.

The three games in the series are set in fictional locations in different time periods. Mafia is set in Lost Heaven in the 1930s. Mafia II is set in Empire Bay in the early 1950s. Mafia III is set in the late 1960s in New Bordeaux.

Age RatingsAge Ratings

Content Rating

Rated PEGI 18 due to violence against vulnerable and defenceless characters, the motiveless killing of innocent characters, graphic violence, and use of strong language. Violence is a strong component of the gameplay, with the player witnessing and engaging in a wide variety of violent acts. These run from beating people to death with baseball bats and tyre irons to gun fights with enemy families. Examples of the strongest violence include a scene in which a man, who is hanging by his wrists, is beaten for information before being executed and a scene in which mobsters open fire on a restaurant full of innocent diners, killing them all before destroying the place with explosives. Strong language occurs throughout, including '*!@?*' and '*!@?*'. There is also milder bad language, including '*!@?*', 'dick' and '*!@?*'.

Rated for younger players in Australia. Rated Mature Accompanied (MA 15+) for Violence and Strong Themes.
