I think you mean 1968

Hope this one will be as fun as the last. I've really enjoy the Mafia series so far.

Yeah, you play a black guy who has nothing to do with mafia except a scene where the mafia shoot at him, so you basically take revenge on the whole mafia that just happens to be entirely situated in New Orleans - oh and you create a gang called "The Black Mob"...yeah right, not realistic especially in that era ( "The Black Mob". should of been the name of this game)

I have tremendously enjoyed the first two games being MAFIA era related 1930-1950, it's what made them unique and they had a excellent story that set them ahead of the rival (GTA), this new game is just GTA 5 in a older setting.

But whatever i'll pass on this game.

Those screenshots look lovely plus there's a thompson gun!

Yeah it isnt the same mafia era but if it keeps the same style then def keeping my eye on this one.

p.s and being like GtaV isnt necessarily a bad thing per say.
