Synopsis
Easy city cruise between different locations, as well as chases and races; the rest of the game is based on all three people on foot navigating and shooting - all interconnected with cutscenes. In addition to the photo-realistic city and enormous countryside, detailed interiors such as the city's airport, museum, church, hotel, an abandoned prison, restaurant and Don Salieri's bar are included. Weather changes and day/night cycles are also used.
The game starts with the protagonist Tommy Angelo, exiting the train and entering the cafeteria. He sits down with a police detective and agrees to trade information about his mafioso past for his family's safety. The player then takes on the role of Tommy, who, while trying to make a living on the streets of Lost Heaven as a taxi driver, unwittingly becomes involved in a car chase between Salieri and the Morello mafia. Two of the Saileri mobsters, Paulie and Sam, style Tommy to drive them to safety, which they don't. Sam then gives Tommy an envelope full of money to compensate for the damage to his taxi. The next day, Tommy is attacked by Morello's mob while taking a break, so he flees to Salieri's Bar and the assailant is then killed by Salieri's man. Tommy later becomes a driver for the Salieri Crime Family, led by Don Ennio Salieri.
For the most part, 60 or so 1930s era games vehicles were not rocket cars. They don't often go very fast, they don't always start up the first time you turn the key, and they have some serious trouble climbing steep hills. Gadget pals won't be making 300-foot barrel-roll jumps in any of them. Furthermore, The Lost Heaven PD will ensure that your gadget friends don't even drive as fast as the car will go. They will attract you more gadgets for driving over 40 and running red lights, among other things. Even if you're in a really cool old-time car, simulating driving at the speed limit isn't exactly a recipe for thrills.
