Fun:
First of all I think you should ignore the review by 'themanwithimpeccabletaste' his so called impeccable taste is somewhat tarnished by the fact that he's never watched the greatest gangster movie of all time. On to the game, I loved it! I thought the graphics were excellent for a PS2 game (especially a third person shooter), the cut scenes looked good, the characters moved like real people and they looked like the characters from the movie as well (for the most part eh, michael)
There was decent enough voice acting as well (again for the most part, cough, michael). As for the storyline well you can't really go wrong with the Godfather to work from, there are subtle changes here and there but that is mostly to do with that you play a totally imagined character not featured in any of the films, this can work well though, placing you in many of the films most famous moments without replacing any of the famous characters and in that sense it is cleverly done. That brings me on to what I like best about the game, the customisation of the character. Before you join the family you can make your character look like you want him to look and to be fair there are a good deal of customisation options to choose from, give him scars, moles change his facial features make him fat thin or in the middle. Also as you progress in the game you can buy him different clothes and give him new styles, you can also name him what you like. Yes the storyline is linear but at least you can put your mark on the game unlike gta which has a linear story and limited custom options. On to the gameplay, be warned it is VERY addictive, i found hours just rolling away and when i did stop playing it was only because i had to pyhsically tell my self that the amount of time i had played on it was getting ridiculous (im glad someone mentioned that it was normal to spend 40 hours completing this game because for me that is a long time to play a game) but i enjoyed every minute of it. Yes there is repititon in buildings etc but to be honest i never got tired of extorting, bribing, taking over rackets, killing rival family members, robbing banks, buying high calibre weapons from black market dealers, hijacking trucks, assassinating other family big wigs in hit missions, taking over businesses and warehouses and of course blowing up a family compound and wiping them off the face of the map and all in the name of Corleone! Also what i thought was a nice touch was getting to know some of the peripheral characters from the film you get to do missions with Clemenza and walk and talk with Luca Brasi. I know this game has it's critics but that is because they don't give it a chance, they don't appreciate the subtler aspects of the game, there are gliches and it is annoying sometimes but on the whole I found it to be a quality gaming experience and it has somethings a game like gta could definately learn from. P.S Really, how many types of cars were there in the 1940's?

Fun:
I personally am a fan of the films and the book, and was scepical about buying the game reading the mixed reviews on the internet, but when i got the game i was suprised by just how fun the game is. The gameplay is superb, easy to control and the gun fighting in my opinion is far superior to the gta series, even though i am a massive fan, the missions draw you into the story making you feel part of the 'family'. The side missions like hit contracts and extortion of business are very enjoyable as well, the hit contracts giving you back stroies into the gangsters dealings with the Corleones.
The only problems i think that are in the game are the driving, which if you hit a car, no matter how small the hit or speed you are driving at, always stops you outright and you cannot shoot from your car. Also building interiors are heavily recycled, which is good if you want to memorise the layout of a warehouse but does get a tad boring.
Even though i am a critic of EA's other games this game nearly lives up to the masterpiece of a film.

Fun:
I wasn't planning on buying this but saw it cheap and thought why not. Very glad I did because it's excellent! Bit of a GTA rip off, but in my opinion much better. For a start the graphics are much better. The storyline is much more involving, and I actually watch the cut scenes because I'm following the story, whereas with GTA I just wanted them finished ASAP. Personally I find the missions on GTA a real chore, and not particularly enjoyable (after a while I just end up driving around or fighting with people!), but the missions on this are really fun, and you cant wait to get on to the next one. Overall a really good game, and unlike the GTA games I think I will play this to the end.

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. Read more

This game could have been spectacularly bad (like most other movie tie-ins) but The Godfather breaks the mould by being a credit to the phenominal masterpiece movie! Read more
