Made Man is based on real-world events, allowing players to assume the role of Joey Verola as he is indoctrinated into the dark world of organized crime and relive his life -- every moment, every kill -- as he rises through the ranks to become a "Made Man". The storyline spans three decades of his life, from the horror of Vietnam to the urban jungle of Brooklyn, with the missions written by best selling authority on the Mafia, David Fisher.
