PC.IGN has posted a quick review on Illusion Softworks' newly released 3rd person action title, Mafia. With a final score of 9.2/10, this sounds like a title to check out! Here's a clipping:

Mafia takes up residence in the 30's, when prohibition was in force and the mob was at its glorious peak. Al Capone was ruling the streets of Chicago and Dons Salieri and Morello were in contention for another city. The city of Lost Heaven. Everything about this city and the entire game screams 30's style. The color pallete, model textures, the cars, the buildings, the way the people talk... everything is detailed and darn near perfect. There's so many little graphical details in the game its sick. Some of the textures are so finely detailed it'd make The Untouchables let themselves be touched by it. The entire game doesn't look quite that good however. Some textures when viewed up close (shirts and lapels especially) can be a bit blocky. But when taken in with the whole, they seemed to slip by into the corner of my consciousness while I gawked at the rest of the game.
