This game is all around great. The game basically allows you to move up the ranks in the Corleone family while playing through the movie script, then you get to destroy all the other families and ultimately take over New York City. Buyer Beware, this game is additive so take care of all other priorities before playing this one. Worth the sixty bucks!

my favorite game!

Its alot of fun being a [not for real] ganster. Lots of action and missions to complete. I'm not a criminal at heart but its fun to be bad in this game. Worth it.

An addicting timewaster, but nothing to write home about

The title may be somewhat misleading, but this game is fantastic. It'll definitely be one of those you'll pick up to kill 30 minutes, then realize the sun is coming over the horizon. Very few things detract from quality, excepting if you buy the Xbox version, which has a lot of meat cut out of it, and is very fun. The only problem is the storyline has little in the way of originality, and while being retconned well, should've been more about the protagonist rather than follow the plot of The Godfather almost part for part.

Graphics: 8/10: Definitions are good, and the buildings, vehicles, and characters are well rendered. The fires are a little fake, but not obviously so. The character creation screen has great versatility, allowing for very good likenesses of whomever you wish, within reason.

Sound: 10/10: Voice acting is stupendous. Until I read otherwise, I'd thought Marlon Brando had done the voice acting for Vito, which he had, but was later replaced. Other character voices are easily recognized and spot on. The background music is well done, and the sound effects during combat are realistic.

Gameplay: 7/10: Some slight stumbles don't interrupt an otherwise smooth and almost intuitive fighting system. Hand-to-hand tries to emulate Fight Night, a lofty goal, but partially succeeds. Ranged combat is automated but still requires skill to make difficult shots. Relying on the computer is a sure path to defeat. Skill advancement is progressive and challenging without being overly hard to understand. The side missions and storyline missions are put together well, as each is a mini-tutorial for a particular skill set, rather than one monstrous training mission.

Story: 3/10: See above. While being the Don's right hand man is fun in its own right, I'd have liked to have had a more original storyline to follow, interacting with the Godfather story rather than being hammered into it.

Overall: 8/10. A solid piece, with great replay value. Something you can pick up and play over and over for the missions and sidequests. Just don't get the regular Xbox version, which was gutted like a fish.

Great game

Very true to life and exciting. Always interesting and good length for missions. Only complaint is you have to listen to the theme and story each time you start the game. Hours of entertainment.

The game was pretty good!

By far one of the best video games based on a movie ever. There is so much to do in the game, whether it be completing missions, doing side jobs, of just exploring the extensive map of NYC and surrounding areas this game has it all, even unlockable clips from the movie. If you liked The Godfather and love games with lots to do then this is the game for you!!!

Classic

If you're a Godfather fan, this is great. It takes a bit long to get used to the controls, but once you do it's a 'time -eater'. The music is great and the fact that you can make yourself is awesome.
