Enter the Italian Mafia of 1930

In Mafia, the United States has been severely affected by The Great Depression in 1930. In the city of New Haven, taxi driver Tommy Angelo seeks to sustain his life as honestly as possible until he crosses paths with the Salieri family. Angelo becomes involved in organized crime and initially feels repulsed by the idea. However, the mafia's monetary rewards become increasingly higher, and Angelo decides to stay in this "line of work".

As you complete missions (over 20) and rise in rank, you will earn more respect from the Salieri family and larger sums of money. But Angelo will be deeply conflicted with the jobs he has to do, which are more dangerous and immoral. You will have to be part of chases, robberies, and even shootouts to become the greatest and most dishonest mobster.
