This may have something to do with the fact that you can't switch your outfit or number plate currently (something that Hangar 13 has promised in future updates). Your clothes and vehicle aren't called in either. Once you've escaped from their line of sight you can walk by cops who just a few seconds ago wanted you dead, you can even give them a cheeky wave. If you move outside of this area after they've lost sight of you, you'll get away quickly, unless you're spotted that is. First of all, the police will now put up an area that is under surveillance, much like they would in real life, and this is shown with a blue circle on your map. However, in Mafia III it's much easier to avoid detection. Clothes and number plates could be wanted by the police and we had to switch clothes and plates to avoid unwanted attention. In the last game the police were very harsh, and both speeding and running red lights would result in being chased down by the law. This takes us to another interesting detail. We went inside to see what would happen, and before we knew it someone had called the police.
We've discovered separated shower rooms, and outside a store there was a sign saying "no colored allowed". They really did a good job of it as well, not just through people expressing their displeasure verbally (something we've covered), but also in the shape of segregated shops and restrooms. Would they try and tell a believable and gripping story, or play it safe and tone it down? The game actually starts with a disclaimer where the developers say that the way things are presented are meant to add more weight to the story, and that they in no way endorse the segregation and racism many had to suffer through and still suffer from today. It's definitely a sensitive issue, and how much of it Hangar 13 would choose to depict was something we were curious about. Something that worried us ahead of playing the game was how the developers would handle racism. We'll return to the driving later on in the review. This will no doubt appeal to fans of arcade-style driving, but if you're after a more realistic setup then you'll be disappointed. Things are worse in "normal" mode, as the slightest touch of the left stick will make the car move. The great sense of weight is no longer there, and this is true even if you play in the "simulation" mode. We'd seen plenty of the the driving ahead of release, and it appeared as if the physics have been altered since we played its predecessor and, after playing the final product, we can confirm that this is the case. It was while we were out driving that we ran into these events, and since you drive around a lot during your stay in New Bordeaux, car physics are important, and we feel this element works well overall. Whether or not this is a true Mafia story or not is up for debate, but regardless we find it to be a story worth taking in. Instead of proving you're worthy of a place in the family and take out rival gangsters, you're tasked with building an organisation from the ground up and with dismantling the establishment. It's who you die for" - an interesting spin on the classic mobster tale. This is where the motto of the game comes from: "Family isn't who your born with. As Sammy raised Lincoln as his own he refused, and the result was the massacre that fuelled his lust for vengeance. The idea was that Lincoln was to "retire" Sammy (head of his adopted family) in exchange for getting to run Delray Hollow. Sal retaliates by killing Lincoln's adopted family. The background is as follows: Lincoln gets an offer from Sal Marcano (the Godfather) to take charge of Delray Hollow and handle it for the family, and he turns it down.

The game begins with Father James recollecting the story of Lincoln's childhood and his time at the orphanage, before the Vietnam war, and how he would later start a full scale war with the mafia after they had betrayed him. On the whole, Mafia III has a lot to offer, even if some parts could have been better. Some said that the greatest days of the mafia were already over, while other saw the potential in the revenge story and the setting. We learned about a year ago that the next chapter would focus on a Vietnam veteran in a New Orleans-inspired city during the '60s, and it was met with a mixed response. Hangar 13 were given a rather substantial challenge to carry on after 2K Czech's story-driven, somewhat flawed, yet partially brilliant, Mafia II.
