They both suck. But if I really had to pick, I'd say GTA III.

If u want open ended game then GTA3 is better but if u want to experience the best story of all time for any games and phenomenal gameplay then its Mafia.

in my opinion, Mafia has some great premises but ultimately didn't wrap them up. my choice goes to GTA3.

as for the dialogue....it really doesn't matter. everything you need to know is mentioned in the objectives.

Mafia has better story and atmosphere, but GTA has definately better gameplay. I'd but them in this order: GTA:VC > Mafia > GTA:SA & GTA3

I've only played GTA:SA.  I would presume GTA3 is a more water downed version since its older.  However i thought GTA:SA was the most pointless idiotic game ever!  I do have, and played, Mafia on my PC.  This game is awesome!  I would go with Mafia.

if you dont mind cliche story of mafia its great because it offers nothing more.

why cliche? i mean movies, its mixup of mafia and goodfellas which are great movies, but if you wanted to play those mafia games yea it may be great, if gameplay would be good

gta's gameplay is better, longer, but same cliche story with longer plot 

but gta3:vice city is the one with real movie plot. its copy of Scarface, which is one the best movies. though i didnt like gta:vice city  because of its colors and narrow streets, ways.

so i would say gta over mafia.

 I could argue that GTA: VC is also full of 80's cliches but I won't. Of all three GTAs, I only completed SA's storyline. And I own all three. For Mafia, with the exception of the race car level, I enjoyed every mission and must have beaten the game now alteast 4 times. I vote for Mafia.

no need to argue, i already stated "gta's gameplay is better, longer, but same cliche story with longer plot"

more than cliche, its copy of Scarface movie, especially the end of it

Obviously Mafia. It's tough and it pi**ed me off back in the day, but my god it's BRILLIANT!

You'll probably want to kill yourself on the race car level though...  =)

though GTA 3 was great with some memorable characters, but the main character lacked a voiceover,(which was nicely fixed in vice city, Ray Liotta did a good job) making him a lonely character, kinda like Freeman was in HL2.  I go with Mafia, cuz it has great characterization.

Oh, that's a tough one. GTA III had the comedy, and the radio stations, and nice cars to drive. However, Mafia has the atmosphere of the 1930s, including the music, and a better plotline. However, I'd have to say that GTA is marginally better, many because the city seemed more alive in GTA to me. However, Mafia beats GTA hands down on storyline, and voice acting.

definitely Mafia! GTAIII did not have as good a story as mafia,crappy graphics,and got very boring after 10 mins. of causing mayhem with no consaequences for your actions.however, all you 12 yr. olds would probabley disagree with me!

I liked GTA3 more. Mafia had really good story but the city was dead and that ruined the athmosphere for me.

MAFIA = 10.1
GTA 3 - 9.9
GTA VC = 10.0
GTA SA = 9.9

Basicly the 4 best PC games of all time.  If you add Xbox then Forza, RalliSport Challenge 2, and Top Spin all get 9.8s.

Mafia is a good game, it has excellent story, music and atmosphere. The gameplay is meh imo. I played through it both on the PC and Xbox, PC-version is by far the best. Problem with this game is it's linearity and the fact that there is almost no reason to free-roam. That's why I think GTA 3 is a better game: great music and atmosphere, great gameplay (free-roaming included) and story (a lot of humor).
