Watch games similar to mafia. Games for fun companies: “Mafia” and the like

When creating the first part of the series in 2002, the Czech developers hardly thought that their brainchild would give rise to a wave of gangster action films telling about the times of Prohibition and the Great Depression. Today, on the Internet you can find and download several interesting projects that profess the same principles laid down by the creators in the first one: a strong plot and a gangster setting.

More details

Scarface

This game is based on the famous movie "Scarface" starring Al Pacino. In fact, the developers decided on a full-fledged continuation of the film. The game begins where the film actually ends: a short video tells how Tony's mansion is attacked by mercenaries of a rival clan, but unlike the film, in Scarface Tony remains alive and begins to build his empire anew. Basically, the hero has to deal with drug trafficking, but later Tony has the opportunity to buy real estate. However, the lion's share of the gameplay is occupied by things that have already become familiar to fans of games like Mafia: shootouts, fights and car chases.

Red Dead Redemption

An adventure game set in 1911 in the United States. The main character of Red Dead is former criminal John Marston, whose wife and son were taken hostage. John will have to remember forgotten skills and bring former members of his gang to justice. What methods does John use to do this? The most common ones: a shotgun, edged weapons and interrogations with passion. Along with an interesting storyline, players in Red Dead Redemption will experience many random events, including attacks, public hangings, hostage problems, ambushes and other similar scenarios.

True Crime

A series of two games that focuses on the other side of the coin of the gangster world. Essentially, True Crime is a clone of Mafia 2, in which gamers are invited to play as. The latter’s career depends on investigating murders and robberies, and if the character’s performance is poor, the character may be kicked out of the police force altogether. The projects take place on the streets of Los Angeles and New York.

The Godfather

Among those who want to download games similar to Mafia 2, this series occupies a special place. is a series of two games based on the famous series of gangster films “The Godfather”. The first part is generally considered the best adaptation of the film, and some of the actors who participated in the filming of “The Godfather” were involved in its creation. The plot of the game is very similar to the original story, so fans of the epic will be happy. The second part of the series was not so successful, mainly due to its too easy passage and a large number of bugs.

The Gun

A Mafia-like game set in the 19th century. In fact, the project is a clone of the Mafia and offers a standard menu in such cases in the form of a bunch of side missions. The game also includes a large number of mini-games, including bounty hunting, poker and even herding. The main character of The is, of course, a cowboy, whom you don’t feed with bread, but let him shoot from the hip and absorb the dust of the prairies.

L.A. Noire

Not all games like Mafia are about the Great Depression. So the creators decided to visit the 40s of the last century, when Los Angeles suffered from the dominance and lawlessness of the mafia. According to the authors' idea, an honest policeman - a hero somewhat unusual for the team - should stand in the way of criminals. Players will have to solve a series of murders and search for evidence, interrogate witnesses and pursue suspects.

All Points Bulletin: Reloaded

The action of this online game takes place in the modern world, however, the invisible hand of the mafia is present here one way or another. Gamers are invited to take part in the confrontation between gangster groups and representatives of law enforcement agencies in the port city of San Paro. In fact, it is the only worthy representative among online games like Mafia 2, which can be played for free.

I have already written a review of “Games for a Fun Company”, now I want to present you its continuation. Let me remind you that in such reviews I collect games whose rules can be understood in a few minutes. So, in Part 2 I will say a few words about the following games:

Alias Party
Jenga
Pikcherek
Mafia
Island of Fear
Jungle Speed

Taboo

Taboo is a timed game of explaining words. The player needs to explain a certain word without using words of the same root or words related to it in meaning. The explanation is carried out as a team, and the time is calculated by an hourglass. A companion of this game is the game Alias, which has almost the same principle.

Alias Party

Alias Party – “Party” version of the famous game Alias. In this game you also need to explain words without using the same root words, and do it for a while. The more words you explain, the further your team will advance across the playing field. Alias Party differs from the original version mainly in its cheerful, “night” design.

Jenga

A very famous game. It has many names: Jenga, Jenga, Zhenga, Leaning Tower, etc. The essence of the game is very simple - a tower of wooden blocks is erected, and players take turns, using only one hand, to take one block out of it and place it on top of the tower. Whoever collapses Jenga loses and must rebuild it. It is “Jenga” that is available in two versions - classic and Jenga Orange. The difference is in the packaging and price.

Pikcherek

Pictureka! - a fun game of attentiveness. The most fun thing about this game is the pictures. The game consists of a playing field of 9 double-sided cards with pictures, with cards laid out next to them. There are only 3 types of cards: for one player, auction cards, cards with one item. There is also an hourglass and two dice - one with colors that correspond to the colors of the types of cards, the other is regular (on it the number of objects to be found is thrown out). In general, you need to look for certain items according to certain rules. For example, there are cards like “Cold objects”, “Animals living in the north”, etc. All the pictures are very coolly drawn - everyone likes them. In general, I have not met anyone dissatisfied with this game.

Mafia

Well, that's true, by the way. Everyone knows the mafia. You can play both regular cards and special ones. A huge variety of these “special” cards are produced in a wide variety of color categories.

Island of Fear

A Mafia clone with a changed plot: werewolves instead of the mafia, and the game takes place on an island. There are also some additions - things and events, and a DVD in the box (it tells about the characters and can count down the time of night, etc.). In general, if you are tired of the usual Mafia, or just want to try a new one, I recommend it. The rules are simple and the game is done correctly.

Jungle Speed

Jungle Speed, Wild Jungle - this is also what this game is called. The goal of the game is to get rid of all the cards in your hand. The similarity of the cards makes this task difficult. In this game you need to be very careful and fast.

In conclusion…

Suddenly I wanted to talk about a game from the movie “Inglourious Basterds” - something like charades. We played like this: we took ordinary sticky pieces of paper, and each wrote a famous character on his own. Then the piece of paper is passed to the player sitting on the left and glued to his forehead. Players take turns asking questions that can be answered “yes” or “no.” If the player receives a “yes” answer to his question, he can ask the next question, and so on, until he receives a “no” answer. That is, the dialogue between the players should be something like this:

I am a man?

I am a writer?

Did I live in the 17th century?

And the right to ask questions is transferred to the next player.

In general, a very interesting game that does not require the purchase of any equipment.

That's all. Wait for the third part of the review.

Mafia in games is as common a phenomenon as in cinema. So, games about gangsters.

The Godfather

Godfather, a game project based on the film "The Godfather", will allow you to taste all the joys and sorrows of life for yourself mafia. New York is equally ready to trample the daredevil or kneel before him. Everything depends on you. USA post-war years, second half of the forties.

Slowly but surely climbing up, one day you will definitely stand next to Don. Or maybe you can take his place.

The Godfather 2

Godfather II combines the features of first-class action and well-thought-out strategy. You give orders and make critical decisions with long-lasting consequences, while at the same time personally participating in a brutal struggle. Swift chases, exciting shootouts, brutal fights - all this remains in the game, but strategic calculation has been added to the brutal actions. This cocktail of decisive action and careful planning will turn the heads of even the most experienced players.

Mafia 2

The long-awaited continuation of the famous gangster saga from the creators of the original game is a new immersion into a merciless and intriguing world that promises many thrills. Classic elements - shootouts, fights, moving around the city on various types of transport - will take on an unprecedented scale, and the game world will become truly limitless. The main character of the new story is Vito, the son of an Italian immigrant, who grew up in poverty and lawlessness.

Gangsters: Organized Crime

Try to be in the shoes of Al Capone and create your own “illegal empire”. Who should you run into, who should you take your money from, where should you set up a hangout or a brewery? Or maybe buy a police chief or a mayor? Or save and buy only two cops at the intersection of your avenue so you can sleep peacefully in your office? Or maybe you should say goodbye to your accountant and bury all your secrets with him in the forest, and hire a new one? And, most importantly, don’t forget to pay the judges, otherwise your guys won’t be released on bail. And even your super-expensive lawyer won't help them. Or maybe it’s time to buy a couple of cars and visit your competitors with Thompson machine guns and restore order in their area? Or hire a couple of professionals and try to kill your competitor in his office? Or should you hire cannon fodder and arrange a massacre near the police station, solving the problem with the cops once and for all, and while there is commotion in the center, try to capture the children of your competitor and extract a tidy sum from him?.. The choice is yours.

Gangsters 2: Vendetta

Become the greatest don in American history while staying alive and free.

Chicago 1930

The game takes place in Chicago in the 30s of the 20th century, when gangsters ruled the streets of the city, gradually taking over the entire city. An excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in a detailed recreation of the atmosphere of Chicago of the 30s, take part in real gangster shootouts on its streets and play an important role in the history of the Prohibition era. There are two campaigns to choose from: either become an associate of Al Capone himself, Frank Niti, and gain power over the entire city, or take the side of law enforcement in the person of federal agent Eliot Ness and cleanse the city of the mafia, block by block. It is possible to play on the side of the mafia or as a government agent. Under your control are up to 15 subordinates, each of whom has their own role characteristics.

Slowdown Mode: In critical situations, you can act faster than your opponent.

Crime Life: Gang Wars

In order not to get lost among the same desperate thugs like himself, he will have to prove every day that he is the most cruel, the most risky and the most reckless guy on the block. Anything is suitable for this - from a banal “wall to wall” with a rival gang to burglaries and armed robberies

Sleeping Dogs

Welcome to Hong Kong, a city where flickering neon lights intertwine with everyday life, a city whose exotic locales and bustling streets hide one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal organizations in the entire world - the Triads.

Torn between loyalty to your police badge and a gangster code of honor, you'll have to put everything on the line and avoid getting caught up in the blurred lines between truth, loyalty and justice.

Reservoir Dogs

The dynamic action movie “Reservoir Dogs” was created according to the script by Quentin Tarantino. The plot of the game is tightly intertwined with the events shown in the cult film. The daring robbery of a jewelry store was 100% correct. Suddenly everything went awry. Why? Who alerted the police? Who is the traitor? Taking hostages, using innocent people as human shields. Threats that cause police officers to freeze in horror and drop their weapons. Furious shootouts and high-speed chases in stolen cars. The action takes place to the music of the 70s, which sounded in the film. The game completely preserves the style of the hit movie, including the director’s signature technique – “ragged narration.”

Legal Crime

In this real-time strategy game, as one of the most legendary leaders mafia of our century, Don Capone, you will take the reins of the Torrio crime family and achieve complete economic and political control over Chicago. You will need willpower and cunning of mind, careful planning of armed attacks on a competing mafia and thoughtful defense of your own territory, coolness in battle and rational use of your political connections in the Senate. By bribing the police, army and FBI, putting pressure on private companies, organizing underground whiskey production, gambling houses and money laundering centers, you will have to build your own criminal empire in the center of Chicago, ruthlessly destroying Big Jim Colosimo.

Kingpin: Life of Crime

Events games develop in a pseudo-retro time period, the feature of which is a mixture of 1930s art deco crossed with modern technology. Many inventions, such as helicopters and monorails, have been given an Art Deco design style. The world of Kingpin revolves around crime and criminals. The game begins in the most abandoned and poor area of the city, Skidrow, where the population consists exclusively of criminal elements, prostitutes and immigrants. It was here that the character ended up after being beaten by bandits in the service of Nikki Blanco, one of Kingpin's lieutenants. For reasons not explained in the game, Nikki Blanco wants to drive the hero out of his territory “in an amicable way,” and the beating was a warning that if he ever returned, he might be met with a much worse reception.

Total Overdose

Mexico. The country of tequila, hot women and drug lords on the loose. Your father was basely framed, and there can only be one decent way out of this unpleasant situation: you need to obtain evidence of the parent’s innocence, and this evidence should not raise even a shadow of doubt among the valiant servants of Mexican justice. There are also not so many ways to solve the problem: it will be possible to prove something only by penetrating into the very heart of the drug cartel, only by reaching its very top and snatching the necessary information from this top. By tearing them out by force, with blood and meat, of course. No other way. Because this is Mexico.

Scarface: The World Is Yours

If you know the movie "Face with a scar", Scarface: The World Is Yours- your choice! Forget about the scary angular picture and zero physics. The main thing in such a game is the main character Tony Montana, the ability to swear and pour lead on his enemies.

There's a fun alternate plot, great dialogue in the spirit of the original film, and Tony's unique "cool" system. Despite the technical backwardness, this is one of the most interesting crime action games to date! If only they could re-release it on a new engine...

Grand Theft Auto V continues the popular open world series and takes it to the next level with plenty of innovation. The game is one of the most full-scale games in the genre and looks like a real living world. One of the most notable innovations is the introduction of three main characters, which players can easily switch between during missions.

Grand Theft Auto IV is a 2008 release from Rockstar that introduces the popular GTA series with an open world gameplay that allows players to experience the life of an outlaw. Like previous games in the series, Grand Theft Auto IV was first released on consoles, and only a few months later on Windows.

Saints Row IV pushes the series to crazy new heights, with tons of weird, comedic, and just plain silly moments. The story follows the plot of Third Street Saints, which was released in 2013. We start the game in the White House as the President of the United States, who has a difficult time ruling the country when aliens attack the earth.

The Godfather II continues the Godfather series based on the open world gameplay of Mafia. In this sequel, you will have more opportunities in terms of strategic decisions to undermine the influence of other mafia families. The second game in the series takes place between the turbulent years of the 1950s and 1960s. Players will visit Cuba, New York and Miami to gain control of several mafia families and their businesses.

Saints Row: The Third offers a large open world experience that is very reminiscent of the Grand Theft Auto series. The game was released in November 2011 for Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Like previous Saints Row games, the player controls Third Street Saints in a fictional world. The game is very similar to the GTA series, only the humor here is more unique, and there is more action.

With the support of several friends, you manage to escape from prison, killing a bunch of guards and blowing up several helicopters and boats along the way.

Paris of the 40s in anticipation of the Second World War and all this is seasoned with a sabotage theme in dark gray tones, almost like in the film Sin City. The gameplay of the game is at the level of 2002, but thanks to its style, you don’t pay much attention to this, because The Saboteur is a fairly strong cocktail of the best open-world games, even if not the most advanced.

Unlike Rockstar games, in LA Noire, we do not control bandits driving around the city in a car and killing everyone they don’t like on their way. The fate of a classic American cop named Col Felbs falls into our hands; in his personal charter, points about honor, dignity and professionalism are highlighted in red marker, so as you understand, life is not at all easy for him.
