 Godfather (PC Game) Review October 14, 2009
Roy L. Mccafferty (Las Vegas, NV)
It's a great game that follows the original movie line very closely - you become the behind-the-scenes soldier of the Corleone family and actually take part in several parts of the movie, but the movie just touched on, you actually do.
 Innovative and exciting! November 15, 2008
R. Ballister (Annapolis, MD)
Fans of the Godfather movies will enjoy this to no end. It actually puts you IN the movie, as you join the Corleone family and work through all the major plot points, including the horse in the bed, Sonny getting shot, and the Don's demise. Along the way, you will extort hard working immigrants, bribe police officers, steal cars, and throw people off of roofs. Little socially redeeming value, but a WHOLE lot of fun.
 a seriously stupid game April 4, 2008

It's a pretty fun GTA clone. It's a lot like the free roaming mode in Mafia if you don't pay any attention to the story.. and if you're as big a fan of the Godfather movies as I am, I strongly suggest that you don't pay much attention to the story.
The best thing this game has going for it is the combat. There are a million different ways to kill and maim people. You can use your typical array of weapons from pistols to machine guns to explosives, or you can grab people and throw them through windows or off bridges and buildings, strangle them until you break their necks, head [...] them to death, throw them in front of cars, slam them into walls or other nearby objects.. etc.
If you want to waste an hour being a total psychopath, this really is quite a fun way to do it.
But that's about all there is to this game. Sure, there's the "story", but I just can't recommend that part of it. It's quite amazing the lengths to which the developers went in order to wedge you into the events of the book/movie. Every single major event of the movie, your character is there to witness, and often has a big part in accomplishing.
For instance: You're there to witness Don Vito's assassination attempt, and must drive him to the hospital... You're there to see Luca Brasi get whacked and must kill his assassin... You're the guy who plants Michael's gun in the bathroom and must drive him to the docks afterwards... You're there when Sonny is whacked and must chase down and kill his assassins... You're the guy who whacks Paulie... You're the guy who whacks Tessio... etc.. etc.. etc..
With all this madness revolving around you, you'd think the Corleones would have had you whacked on page 4. It really is supremely stupid, and is an absolute disgrace to the beautifully complex and multi-layered story of the film.
All that aside, there is a good bit of fun to be had here. I suggest sticking to the sidequests and doing the story last only if you have nothing else to do.
I've also heard that they're going to be making two more games to go along with the other two films. YAY! I predict that in part 2, you will play two roles: your character from this game and his father. Get ready to help Vito whack Don Fanucci and help Al Neri whack Fredo all before lunch. In part 3, you get to poison the Pope! Good times!

There's already a great role playing organized crime game set in the late 1930s and early 1940s. It's called MAFIA, and it came out four years before THE GODFATHER. MAFIA features better graphics, more cars, better voice acting, more diverse missions, a larger playing area and better music. This game is dull and repetive. There are a few fun things, but mostly it's "drive here, beat up or shoot a bunch of thugs and get back to your hideout"; or, "go to Mr. X's deli/saloon/restaurant/warehouse and rough him up til he starts paying his protection money again". Sandbox games have been tremendously popular with the GTA and Driver games over the last few years. A gamer looking for this kind of experience simply has too many options to chose from these days. Don't bother with this one. Some of the cutscenes, which feature dialogue and scenes from the movie, are fun to watch, and you do get to dress up your character and change his appearance. But all in all, you will become bored very quickly with this.
Sanbox games like GTA are fun because you can wander back and forth from the main storyline whenever you wish. If you don't want to advance the main story, you can drive around doing side jobs or just exploring. GODFATHER tries to recreate this, but the only side jobs available are stickup and protection rackets which become boring after the first 15 look alike.
All in all, a disappointment. I played it for about two hours initially and then uninstalled it.
Great Game especially with this price tag! August 13, 2007

I cannot complain, maybe they didn't put in the greatest graphics available at the time, but this is still a great game. The cool thing is that you can go into count less stores and take them over for the Corleone family. The mob wars are also very fun. Lastly, i had fun with the cars, whose handling is above normal and speed ahead of it's time (this game happens in the 40's) but that makes it even more fun to drive. The actual plot of the game is interesting, you get to meet all the characters from the book, the character's faces based on the movies. My only concern with this game is that at the end of the game plot the story starts to move too fast and ends too suddenly, and the end I will not spoil.
Overall, a great game for 10 bucks. I would say this game is a mix of Grand Theft Auto and Mafia.
