All of the vehicles are based on real-world cars from the era, albeit renamed and redesigned due to trademark issues. Cars are introduced periodically - in the beginning of the game, early 1920s models drive on the streets of the city, while models from the early 1930s begin appearing in later game stages. ĥ1 cars around the city can be driven in Mafia, plus nineteen bonus cars (five of which are racing models) unlockable after the main mode and the opening of a new game mode. Weather changes and day/night cycles are in use, though missions take place at a set time and the weather is fixed during the duration of the level. In addition to the city and countryside, detailed interiors like the city's airport, a museum, a church, a hotel, an abandoned prison, restaurants, and Don Salieri's bar are included. Mafia 's storyline gameplay consists of driving, mainly easy city cruises between different locations, as well as chases and races the rest of the game is based on third-person on-foot navigation and shooting - all inter-connected with cutscenes.
