Weak....

I'm sorry to say that this game is Weak. I was looking forward to some real Mafia gameplay. There is no free roam - you just follow the story line. I did more fighting than shooting. I finished it in 4 hours and only died 4 times. It kind of plays through like a movie you're a part of b/c there aren't any options. The graphics are cool and the fact they did their own characters is cool - but it's just not what I expected. Weak.....

Among the worst ever

What a huge dissapointment for any Sopranos fan or any gamer here!! Very dull and boring simply awful. First thing I noticed is you can't look up and down- only side to side! This was the first hint that this game might not be so good. Even a low budget atari game lets you look up and down! The only cool part is they have a few (select few) of the real characters from the cast digitized in the game. The bad news- its just no fun to play. The fighting is totally lame and unfortunately this is a big part. Also you have almost no influence on the storyline- it cannot be altered from what I could see. Its strictly laid out and it doesn't feel like you are really interacting in the game but rather watching it. Kinda reminded me of the Sega CD games where it was mainly watching a movie with little influence of the outcome. Levels are very small with extremely limited roaming and the load times are horrendous!! There is a 15 second load time just to open a door at tony's club and enter another room! This is totally unnacceptable! I don't even recommend renting this game. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

No fun.

I was hoping for a free-roaming world type of game where you can rank up to be a memeber of Tony's crew, but instead you are stuck within an extremely small an limited environment which feels constricting. It's lame. I feel bad the guys lent their voices to this crummy game. It's not that fun - yah you can fight guys and there's some kind of special moves but it was all so boring that I couldn't tell you how to even execute some of these moves - it's a little complicated and not worth your time learning cause you get no special reward for executing them. Money is a complete waste in the game. Don't bother collecting it for yourself as it serves no purpose whatsoever for the game itself. It's weak. I rented it and won it in maybe 4-5 hours gametime. It's not challenging in the least. I never died or lost a fight. I wasn't even trying - just playing to see if it got good. Don't waste your time. Go watch Season 1 again.

Fun for a four hour movie-not a game

I bought this game for my husband as an anniversary present. He only plays for an hour or two at a time and so for the first few hours he was really excited about the game and told me he felt like he was in the show. I thought I'd found a good gift. Three days later he was moping around the house quite upset that he'd finished the game and it was quite frustrating. Don't buy this if you want to be entertained for more than 4-5 hours. It's fun while it lasts, but doesn't last long! This game has so much potential, it was quite disappointing it didn't live up to it.

We tried replaying the last scene several times as we were convinced there had to be another several levels, but alas that was truly it. With as wonderful and as huge a following Sopranos the series had, I can't believe they would risk their reputation by putting something this sub par out.

Amazon shipping ??? EXPECT TO WAIT A LONG TIME...

I ordered this game on Oct. 17
today is Oct. 25 & now they say they will ship it by Oct 31st.

A blasphemy to the show, this game deserves zero respect.

Most of the reviewers summed this game up quite well. The guy who said he'd rather play ET on his Atari 2600 couldn't be more right. I'm warning customers to not buy this game. I feel sorry for the people who don't read reviews before buying games. It's games by THQ that buy these big names from shows, movies etc and attempt to make the money by the name only, not the quality of the product. I wont' get into details, I reluctantly rented the game already knowing it would be bad, but being a fan, I had to give it a shot. The only good thing about is the theme music rocks. Then the game starts. Terrible storyline, lack of any plot or motive to play, terrible gameplay, boring dialogue, mediocre graphics and overall mediocrity! Heed the "most" of the reviewers on here, this is a bad game, and the show deserves so much better. The guy who gave this game 5 stars wouldn't make it in Tony Soprano's crew for long, because Tony wouldn't have any part of it! There are so many better games out there. If you need a game like this, The Godfather is worth a look, although that game could use some work too.

Intially when I heard that this game was coming out, I was excited, big fan of the series, but after playing the game I was upset. The storyline is the best thing about the game. Most of the game play is crap the only good part is the enviroment interaction when killing somebody. The game is way too short. Overall, this game is not even worth renting.

What a Disappointment!

The graphics are amazing, the voice-overs are from the real characters, and the play, although not allowing free roam, tells a very fun story.....That being said, I have never been more disappointed with a game in my life!!!!!! I played the game sparingly over the course of about 2-3 days, and would say that it only took me 5-6 hours of gameplay before beating it and getting made. Further, I only died twice, and used my gun no more than 2 or 3 times (most of the time you can just punch and grapple strategically, and win). I think that had they taken more time and actually COMPLETED this game, it would have been one of my all-time favorites, but as it is, I am shocked that the best show ever made feels it appropriate to put their name on such an underachiever!

Total Waste of Money

There is good reason for reading reviews before making any purchases online and this is no exception. All the other reviews that panned this game are right on, I have nothing much to add, other than thinking they should have changed the name of this game to Sopranos: Road to Boredom. I'd rather replay ET on my old Atari 2600 than this pile of gabagoul. The story line is weak, the playtime is a joke and I don't even agree with some of the other reviews about the graphics, I've seen more realistic looking characters on the aforementioned Atari system.

I myself should have listened to the other reviews, my own fault, but since I'm such a big fan of the show and had a gift card to use from Christmas, I figured the other reviewers just didn't appreciate the show enough to like this game. Trust me on this, you could be the biggest fan of The Sopranos and this game will do nothing more than disappoint you, I'm actually surprised HBO allowed this embarrassment to even be released.

Here is the game in a nutshell, you run around pre-set settings doing nothing more than finding people to talk to, you punch your way through a few more scenes here and there, run around some more (many times at the same pre-set settings) and 5 hours later the game is over.

Even when you do get to a fight scene, you sit there frustrated half the time because you are cornered in a small room with 4 fanooks that pistol whip the crap out of you without any chance of breaking free.

If you still insist on playing this game, go down to your local Blockbuster and rent it. Then come back to thank me for saving you the $35.99 you would have paid to own this sorry excuse for a game which you will never want to play again. I will be listing mine on Ebay and can only pray to the Gods I'll get at least 1 cent back for it.

I have no clue what this game is like because the jerk I bought it from screwed me and never sent it.
