So it was a nice Xmas and all but I kind of regret buying these two video games. I saw my niece playing Mafia and at this point I'm convinced it was another game she was playing because the cars are totally different in the one I brought. But anyways with Mafia, I wanted it not for the missions but for the cars. I like games like grand thef auto because you can chose to do the missions and just drive around and create your own little adventure but I was getting tired of GTA because I already know the towns inside out and wanted another games just like it so I would have a different environment to explore.

Now Mafia does give you the option to let you drive around, however it just sucks! The graphcis for the countryside are simply beautiful but beauty can only get you so far! The guy you use cannot swim or jump like the guy in GTA. Not only that but in GTA you just push someone out of their car and take it! But with Mafia the guy can't open the door! He says "hm never seen this lock before" and even when you punch the door off the car and get inside he still says the same.

What the hell? You mean to tell me that the driver just took the keys?

UGH!!!!

You HAVE to play the story mode in order to learn how to pick locks and then you can start to take certain cars, but really the cars suck anyways! Their speed and handling just are so wack! This is certainly not the game I saw my niece play!

I can take this game to Gamestop and get store credit or money, but since it is just one game I'm just gonna do the store credit since it's always higher than what you would get back in money. And lucky me I found a GS card when I was cleaning my room so I will see if I can add whatever credit I get on that card.

Now the other game I am stuck with because it is a Play Station one game and the GameStop over here doesn't take PS1 games which is stupid since they work on PS2 systems. But anyways it is Rugrats in Paris and welI don't know I'm sick of the game already.

I kind of like easy games, I hate having to do a mini game or a battle over and over again, it gets ******** annoying! And there is this certain mini game on this game called baseball toss and I have made it up to round three where you have to hit twenty out of twenty five targets, but the minute I miss one target the game is over!

What the ********? If I can only miss five why are you ending the game when I miss one?

And you know that ski ball game they have in bowling arcades? Well I just tried that mini game and you can change the way you aim but I can't find like the little arrow or whatever that is suppose to indicate which way you are about to throw the ball and thus I can't get pass round two. I can't seem to get the ball to go in the middle hole or the top upper side holes which gives you the most points!

But since I am stuck with that game, I'll keep trying.

But yeah these games suck. I can get a new one at Gamestop tomorrow so I'm gonna go do my research to find a game similar to Mafia and GTA. I just want to create a new little adventure in a different virtual setting.

Do you have anything that you regret getting?

I don't really have anything that I regret buying that I can think of off the top of my head. This reply is more to comment on your post instead. o 3o

In the older GTA games the guy couldn't swim, that's a newer feature that started with San Andreas, I do believe. I could be wrong, but it was somewhere around that game release.

Maybe your niece was playing Saints Row?

Ps3 also plays Ps1 games, so those can be used on all three of the consoles. They just don't play Ps2 games for some reason (well, mine did until they updated it and now it doesn't because apparently it isn't supposed to)..

I've never heard of the Mafia game that you're talking about and I've never played the Rugrats game so I don't have much to offer there. It sounds rather annoying to have to start over for missing one thing when you're allowed to miss five though..

I know. i have GTA 3 and have played Vice City and they both sucked but I did get some music from it so plus right there. San Andreas is better because he can swim, take cars and such.

I don't know, it could have been Saints Row, I'm just going off from what I remember seeing on the screen at the time. The cars in Mafia don't match what I saw. But I was able to find four games that seem to be like GTA San Andreas.

I only have a ps2 though. It plays ps1 games, music CD and even DVDs but for some reason mine no longer does DVDs anymore. But I have a DVD player now.

I'm not at all familiar with the new PS3, all i know is that it apparently lets you get on the internet.
