"Mafia" is a Racing Game

99 laps in a Model T? You'll regret that. :D

So the "difficulty" of that mission came from a bias caused by driving systems being less arcade than other games.

Was shocked too when I played the mission for the first time. Guess most people don't know how to race cars

I had no clue Mafia was a racing game in disguise. Absolutely incredible when you realize this is a 2002 game when most modern triple A games don't even bother with soft body physics (Granted the last game I played that was an action mixed with a racer was Just Cause 3 and I don't really know if that counts).

The reason so many people think the racing mission is hard is because theyve never played a racing game with slightly realistic driving physics, so they never slow down and break before entering corners, and they dont understand the concept of going on the outside for a wide turn.

Soo, about that 1 hour extension... i need it

My most beloved game. The physics are so well developed, the gearswitch sound and the realistic gameplay made me really enjoy driving every vehicle. My favourite one being Silver Fletcher and Bolt V8 Touring.

Babe new sp4 vid came out

it’s like those gta missions, the once with “all you had to do was follow the damn train” and the helicopter mission in VC they’re also easy asf and i do not understand why so many people cry about how hard they are

1:19 lap time that's impressive

fantastic video, i am increadibly glad to see someone else who thinks this way about mafia 1 and hates the defective edition aswell

2:58 Welp. I really can't trust anybody in my comments I guess, lol. Thanks for clearing this up. Also your times are very impressive. I had no trouble beating the AI but I wasn't as fast as you.

I would be happy if the Subtitles were Optional, we understand you very well! Other than that great Video!

Nah bro i was drifting like a god in the original pc version, as a kid i struggled with that race but as an adult who knows some racing basics the race is kinda easy as long as the car slip or flip after the chicane. And i never had the issues that you had. Mafia is one of my favourite games ever, and yes im Czech of course im gonna defend it. Also fun fact the main theme is composed by the Prague orchestra and the lead developer Daniel Vávra made other games like Kingdom come deliverance.

Simply the best and the most accurate YouTube documentary about the Mafia game 👍👍👍

When you are used to arcade games and look at Mafia, of course the racing game will be fucking insane difficult to finish. But then again, i get the grips against the game but i do get it's qualities

Been waiting for a new upload, happy to see

Yeah I beat that racing 🏎️ mini game at my 4th lol.

I had some fun moments from this race sequence when the remake came out a few years ago. I played the game right as it came out and was one of the first people to get the achievement for completing the race. I almost beat the race first try (got messed up by one of the scripted crashes) and had no problem with it. Afterwards I'd get messages from some people asking how I was able to win the race since it was too hard. One thing that was making it hard for most was one achievement was for getting the game on Classic difficulty which had different driving physiques. Seems most other people just couldn't cut it with the driving so this race caused them a lot of trouble. It reminds me of GTAIV a bit when people complain about the driving being difficult in that game. I can drive well in the game and find it pretty fun. I've noticed that most of the people who complain about it just can't drive well in general.

When Sepi4 uploads a video, he makes my day better
