Thomas "Tommy" Angelo is an ordinary taxi driver working in the city of Lost Heaven during [[The Great Depression]]. One evening, he is caught in a wild car chase involving thugs of two [[The Mafia|rivaling mobs]] in town [[Mob War|trying to kill each other]]. Forced to side with one party, he soon faces retribution from the other and has no choice but to start working for [[Benevolent Boss|Don Salieri]], whose men he saved earlier.

Thus begins Tommy's ascension from a simple cabbie to the best [[Career Killers|hitman]] in the entire mob.

The game featured many unique features for its genre and time, including storing the aftermath of player actions in the city, even if the player left the location for a long time: e.g. if you shot at a car in Free Ride, it is possible to run into that same car later on in a different part of the city; abandoned cars and weapons stay where they are, instead of disappearing after a while as in ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'', etc. The game was noted for exceptional graphics for its time and a sophisticated police AI. However, despite being originally released for PC, the game is probably known to many for its god-awful Playstation 2 port, which, due to a significant drop in processing and programming power, lost many of these unique perks.
