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: - A very good game.The Godfather is a hugely playable game, I have played it through 6 or 7 times and still find new things to do. The game sticks very closely to the plot of the film and must be given credit for that. The opening scene has you playing as a member of the Corleone family, this is the basic training for the game such as movement and unarmed combat, after completeing this you see a short cutscene and your character is killed. The next scene shows the wedding of Don Corleones daughter. A woman who we learn to be the wife of the dead man enters and begs Don Corleone to save her son who has fallen in with a bad crowd. The Don sends Luca Brasi in time for you to get revenge on the gang members who were beating you up. ... Read More: Rating:  - Good but not good enoughFirts of all, a three star rating is perhaps a little harsh, GODFATHER is better than a three star game, but this falls just short of four stars, so three is all it gets. It really is a game full of guilty pleasures; extorting money out of local businesses, bribing cops and starting shootouts on the streets of New York. This is a good game, great fun and overall is very playable. The programmers deserve credit for sticking so closely to the plot of the film, working missions around events that hapened in the motion picture. The little niggling problems are what makes me give this a three star rating. I found the control system to be a little tricky at times, especially when fighting mano-a-mano or ... Read More: Rating: - QualityThis game well took me by surprise, it is free roaming which alot of people including myself didnt get from looking at the cover. Like a 1940's gta, with a sick story line keeping you involved, you can extort, commit bank heists, and assasinations and that is outside of the main missions! There are 5 cities and similar rival gangs to take over and wipe out, which keeps you going for a while. I like the customization of your character including looks and aparrell, this adds a touch of class to the game, and you can change his sharpness as he moves from an outsider to a capo all the way to don. This game is a quality buy, i paid about 20 quid and im chuffed. It could have had included more cars including customization, but that is about it, it ...

Rating: - brilliantThis game is fantastic i have had it for around a week and i still can't put it down. it is obviously very similar to GTA but this is not at all a bad thing as it is basically san andreas set in the 1950's and made thousands of times slicker. the shooting system is far more fun and advanced than GTA and the hand to hand fighting system makes GTA's look like it belongs on a game boy. The one place that the godfather does not kick ass is in the driving system that is rather unwieldly and the fact that you can not employ gang members to fight along side you is another let down. In conclusion BUY THIS GAME it will give you at least a good 2 solid weeks of brilliant play. |
