Product Description

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.



Manufacturer's Description

Gamers will create their own mob character in the game, putting themselves into the action while reliving classic moments from the fiction and experiencing original missions alongside memorable characters from the film. After a life of small-time jobs and petty thefts the player will be accepted into the Corleone family, America's most famous criminal organization. It will be up to the player to carry out orders, earn respect and make New York City their own.

1.0 out of 5 stars plain stupid, 24 Sep 2006
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
even with top notch graphics this game would have been frustratingly adolescent in nature...given the poor generic graphics and modelling it just dies on it's feet before you get past day one...only interesting feature really was the inclusion of clips from the film..sadly this only serves to emphasise and or remind you just how far removed from genuine immersion and story telling the game actualy is...rather like chewing cardboard then being shown a three course meal...some interesting RPG elements but the in game world and activitys are so limited and so basic that any possible storyline becomes abrieviated to nill...better car driving physics might have saved it tho...saldy the driving experience belongs on an zx81

2.0 out of 5 stars A little more effort would have made this a better game, 24 Sep 2006
By C. Hubbers (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Not a bad game and it draws a lot from the popular movies which is good.

I was disappointed at how how repetitive it was. Many locations in different parts of the city use exactly the same layouts. Are we expected to believe the NY is full of identical venues? Even the number of characters is extremely limited with talking characters that you interact with often looking and sounding exactly the same as someone you have just whacked. Surely they could have added a few more characters.

There is also almost no consequences for any bad behavior. Shoot someone in front of a cop? No problem just shoot the cop as well it wont cause any real problems. Crash a car into a truck on a busy road? No problem just get out of your vehicle unhurt and carjack another vehicle. Crash on the motorway? No problem just stand in front of any moving vehicle and it will stop and wait to be carjacked. I literally carjacked hundreds of cars in my month playing this game with NO CONSEQUENCES.

Basically the game lacked a sense of reality and seemed more like a child's fantasy of gangland rather than a reconstruction of New York.

1.0 out of 5 stars BOARING!!!, 6 May 2006
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
As another reviewer said. "There was a lot of hyp before the release of this game". I must admit I went out the moment the game was released and got a copy. At first it seems very good, but I found it very tiring after a while. Having read about the game and the hype of just how good the game was meant to sound. I come to the play and how many different vehicals do I get to choose from 4 WOW!!! The city is New York, are there any trams, an underground any other form of transportation except for walking. No.
You start by doing missions for the family and taking over businesses to make you more money as well as the family as they take a nice large chunk at the end of the week. You can rob banks but you don't get vast amounts of cash for it. You can up grade your weapons but with the cheapest upgrade being $75,000 and the most expensive for the machine gun being $500,000 it may take a while and by the time I had got the maachine gun upgrade I had almost completed the game. If you want a Mafia style game look at the game called "Mafia" its been out a while, but I would sooner play the Mafia again then play this game. I'm very disappinted in the game because I don't want to play it again and that to me proves its a bad game. The Godfather could and should have been miles better, but it seems to have been a rushed job. I would suggest renting it rather than buying, so you get to make your own mind up.

Fairly good game but you have to change the movie file name so it will run on vista which means that the bonus movies and intro movie you will never see, shame as the game is o.k.
