One of the games that managed to get a good story from New York mob. Adding this classic to your collection is essencial
They give you a nice reward in cash and the next day Don Morelli's guys come to you and destroy your cab. Tommy, your character in the game, then decides to join Don Saglieri.
The game has a very unique and well thought storyline that will keep you involved the whole time. It's like a book doesn't let you stop reading it for the emotion of the next page. It has one of the most unique stories I have ever seen in a game. Story is a very important detail in the game and as you can see both graphics and sound are stunning what makes you realized how much attention developers dedicated to this masterpiece.
The game has an awesome soundtrack that really makes you feel playing the game fun. Music is not modern as the game happens around the 40's but that doesn't mean old style musics can't be cool.
Graphics are really impressive. The cars are what look the best in the game. They're incredibly detailed both in colors and designs and they really existed (just do you don't think developers made them up form their own minds). Characters and buildings look pretty good as well just not as perfect as the cars.
It does not have the option of playing multiplayer but you can play 'Free Rides', which are the part of the game you don't have any mission and that lets you choose the car you want to ride around the city getting money your own way (going over the speed limit, exploding other cars, etc). This money you can use to fuel your car (nicely thought right?), heal yourself and buy new weapons. There are also special missions in which you can try add new cars to add to your collection.
As there's only one campaign, no 'do it your way' possibility and apart from cars there are no other 'collectibles' (or other things like this) that make you wanna play the game again to get you might not find it too fun to play it again all the time. Still a great game, instant classic.
