Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Preview: On the face of it The Godfather isn’t an obvious movie to be made into a video game, what with it being more than thirty years old and staring a lot of middle age men in hats. On the other hand it is incredibly violent; and morally ambiguous enough to make an excellent period version of Grand Theft Auto…which is exactly what this appears to be. Although lots of missions from and inspired by the movie are promised you actually play a completely new character and control them over a period of ten years, between 1945 and 1955. During this time you get to take part in all manner of mobster type activities including managing protection rackets, assassination missions and full blown gang wars against the five different mob families in the game. Despite all the big name stars lending their voices and faces to the game it’s actually New York that seems to be the main star with a highly impressive, if somewhat sparsely populated, virtual city. The graphics are excellent, although it remains to be seen just how much variety there is to the missions, considering the game can’t really go to some of the more surreal excess of Grand Theft Auto. So even if this isn’t quite an offer you can’t refuse, it’s at least looking like one to be taken very seriously. --Harrison Dent This preview is based on an incomplete version of the game; features or problems mentioned above may not appear in the finished game.

 Rating:  - Fun but is that enough......?First of I think that its unfair to compare this game to a GTA:SA, mainly as The Godfather that game was released 2 full years after the former, but also because in my opinion no game copying the style of GTA will ever live up to its standards (with the possible exception of Saints Row), and this game is no exception. So for that reason I will judge it on its own merits. The story line is well the godfather but instead of established characters from the film there is a new custom designed one. You do have a fair amount of customisation, you can include scars however I was a little disappointed by the fact that there are only about 5 hairstyles, 5 hair colours, 5 ears etc, and a very limited amount our outfits! The story line does ...

In the game you will be able to play the missions from the movie and also do a few that were mentioned but you never saw them. For example you get to be the living crap out of the two guys that beat Bonasera's daughter and you get to sneak into Jack Woltz' mansion and do a little stealth stuff with a garrot wire until you finally reach his bedroom. The game is kind of like gta with a free roaming mode but i wouldn't say they copied them, gta just created a new saught of thing for gangster games. You can do the usual stuff like on any other mafia game such as killing randoms, stealing cars, robbing banks and ... Read More: Rating: - Well...it's fun isn't it? No really it's kinda good.Now the reference to GTA is very very obvious and I don't have to spell it out to you do I? Just the free roam and drive around to get your mission. Besides that it involves individual ideas that are that you are a gangster in the mafia and you kill other gang members, extort businesses and somehow never get killed...which is kind of weird because the other characters die with a few shots. Buy the game if you've bought GTA and like the film the Godfather. If not then don't buy it. You have the ability to think for yourself and don't need a review to tell you what to and not do. Rating: - possibly one of my favourite ps2 games everthis is such a cool game. not only do you get really in-depth control over what your character looks like, have controls that are really easy to pick up and an awesome storyline, but you have the ability to go anywhere and do anyhing, such as extorting businesses, bribing police, robbing banks, starting mob wars as well as really fun (and sometimes quite challenging)missions. a really amazing free-roam game kind of like a gta game set in the 40s/50s without the over the top blood splatters. if you get the opportunity to buy this then do it, it's an offer you cant refuse... Rating: - better than true crime nycthis game is suprisingly good unlike true crime nyc which wasnt like the original and was basically rubbish- good graphics and gameplay and extras- its games like this that make rubbish like ture crime nyc seem like garbage as it was boring -had the worst character in any videogame i played -a serious boring unlikeable character -which is unusual becasue in all games i played i never noticed - but htis game is the opposite of all that |
