Trivia

Players can travel on foot, on horseback, or in period automobiles through vineyards, ruins, crypts, and grand opera houses.

A single building in the game can contain more than one million polygons, compared with approximately 20,000 to 30,000 in similar buildings in previous Mafia games, allowing for significantly more detailed architecture and environments.
