The game was smartly done and is pretty much flawless. The entire added story fits in perfectly with the movie and there are frequent memorable lines which have been created such as 'we got ya back, you f&$k it up we got your ass' and when Sonny says to your character 'glad your on my side kid' and he replies with 'I learn from the best' and gestures to Sonny. The tutorial level is entertaining as Luca Brassi takes your character under his arm to teach you how to be a mobster. Characters were great and just like in the movie, so it was great fun to tag along with them during the missions. The ability to create the look of your mobster was perfect and I hope they bring the character of Aldo Trapani back for the next Godfather. The 1940/50's atmosphere is great and it feels like being in New York. From when I first started playing the game it was addicting. With at least 30 hours of quality game play it is defiantly not a waste of money. mafia handles the same subject of 1940's gangsters better and Grand theft auto gives you far more too do and gives you a hell of a lot more fun while you do it.Fantastic and entertaining this game is. Rent the game, borrow it or play it at a friends. Its just a lazy way for EA to cash in on a game area that they have no expertise in. All in all this is not worth the time or money. The only saving grace is the style that you get to execute some finishing moves with names such as hats off execution or Face-off execution. You will very often find yourself cursing at the screen because a mobster takes 5 magnum hits to the chest and takes you down with one seemingly devastating long range shotgun blast. At times it seems as though enemies are either made of wet tissue paper or are full on bullet proof. Action in the game is equally bothersome.
The remainder are usually just generic missions with only a few relating to the film. Whereas similar titles have some 50 to a 100 levels the Godfather gives a meagre 25 and most of these are either small or taken up at the start as tutorial missions. The actual game itself is over far far far too quickly. In a similar vein the city is a dog to drive around and to make matters worse the cars are some of the worst ever done in a game of this type. The graphics are no better - and in fact worse than Mafia even though this game was released some 3 years ago. Considering the quality of the original film it seems surprising that this game made it out the door. The game itself is very lacklustre and anyone who has played similar games will immediately see that this is a very poor example of both how to make a game and how to use what is solid gold subject matter. This is EA's take on the subject using The Godfather for limited inspiration. Grand theft auto spawned a whole new generation of free form, sandbox game.
