 The Godfather March 28, 2010

The Godfather the Game: Worth the Purchase January 13, 2010
Shaun L. Stoffer
I didn't think this game was going to be anything special, considering I've played simlar games like GTA IV, Episodes from Libert City, & Saint's Row that are all much more popular and well-known. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how much fun this game was. It is much more than just a cheap knock-off from the first film of the legendary trilogy. Get this game, especially for the cheap price it is now on Amazon.
Pros:
-Lots of non-stop action: shooting, driving, and bombing - what more can you ask for?
-The missions are fun and have a fair amount of variety and make you feel as if you truly played a part in the story and film itself.
-Only four guns, but all cool, useful, and you can upgrade each one several times.
-Can throw explosives like cocktails and use dynamite & bombs to blow up buildings.
-Can extort and take over businesses and drug rackets and get to collect the profits at your safehouse.
-Get to take on mansions full of mobsters in order to make it your safehouse.
-Get to start mob wars and take over territories like San Andreas.
-Can carry out hits to earn some extra spending money.
-Can buy clothes and haircuts.
Cons:
-The only thing that distinguishes the enemies from one another is their colors. Besides that, they all look exactly the same.
-The prize fights were too darn hard.
-Can't drive anything but cars.
-Can't take a cab anywhere like in GTA IV. No subways or trains either.
-Can only hire one mercenary and he's pretty useless even for an AI.
-Slightly repetitive after a while.
-Graphics are standard, not great not bad.
-You won't skip all the cut scenes, but most of them.
 I've tried to stop playing many times December 15, 2009

I try not to play too many video games. The Xbox 360 belongs to my kids and I'm generally very busy. I've tried several times to stop playing this, and have failed again and again. The game is addicting and the plot is one I can easily understand and follow. I was never really a fan of the movie series, but the game made me one (you can unlock several movie clips).
The thing I like most about this game is that you are free to do whatever you want. You can choose to follow the missions, or just roam around the city and make your character more powerful. You can rob banks, extort business owners, gun down corrupt cops (or just bribe them), as well as fight to take over compounds and warehouses belonging to rival families. Needless to say, this isn't a game for children.
There are some annoying things about the game. For instance, you can only hire one person to fight alongside you. That's really stupid with you think about it. How can two people, even less one, take down an entire family? Also, how can this one person carry so many molotovs, guns, and other weapons in his pockets at once? Wouldn't he explode if he got shot but once? Also, some of the drives from one town to the next are very, very long. Ok, so maybe I'm being too picky (maybe I'm just too old), but I still think the game is great.
A+++ September 12, 2009
