"Great version of Godfather, on par with Wii Blackhand Edition", I just picked up the original Godfather this afternoon for the PlayStation 2, and thought that it was every bit as good, if not better than some of the other consoles. I do love the Blackhand Edition for the Wii, and find that mighty solid, but the PlayStation 2 version seems a little easier to control, despite the lesser feature set of the PS2 version over the Wii. For now, both versions seem to be about even in character. Worth playing this game, no matter the platform.

"Very fun, although later to be overshadowed by next gen.", I loved the movie and the game is fantastic. I nought the ps2 a month after it came out, and have been playing it ever since. When the xbox 360 version came, i was a little nervous because i thought there would be major changes and I would have to go and buy a 360 to experience the new version. Only a couple minor differences were made. first, obviously, were the graphics. then also the interiors were more varied to eliminate that sense of deja vu in the ps2 and xbox versions. also, the clothes and character creation were touched up a bit. you could also recruit members of your family to help you like in gta. they could also act as triggermen while you were driving. then came the variety to [...]. instead of pressuring a business owner to give in, they could ask you to do a favor, which basically meant you went upstairs and killed someone. something that bothered me in the ps2 version was, although the actual character creation part was spot on, the clothes weren't that good. there was no variety, and it just had a couple shirts and pants, and some that could be stringed together in elaborate combos. but you would see for instance the capos, they would wear long coats with vests and stuff and im suprised that players couldn't do this in the ps2, but could in 360. But then that fateful day came where the ps3 and wii edtions were released and my joyful experience came crashing down. Basically they have everything in 360, times 20, with a lot of new content and material.
guess i better start saving for a ps3....................

"Better than expected", Classic movies are turning up remade into video games more and more lately (From Russia With Love, Scarface, Reservoir Dogs) with varying degrees of quality. The Godfather on the other hand manages to offer a bit more than the typical GTA style of play though, thanks to the labor of love put into the game by the developers to involve you in the world of the Corleone family as much as possible. You play as an all new character who is an unofficial enforcer for the family, and as you play through you get to see how seamlessly weaved you become in the story of Francis Ford Coppola's classic film. The game utilizes the GTA-style of gameplay, but not to utter ridiculousness. There is a small bit of strategy involved here throughout the game's legthy missions, which feature enemy AI that fluctuates between dumb and incredibly difficult. The game's interrogation system is unique, and the 1940's New York you travel through looks great. Not to mention that the main character models look very good, and the voice acting is great too. All that being said, the Godfather is not without it's share of flaws. While driving around New York is great, the insides of areas all pretty much look the game, while there is a choppy frame rate and occasionally glitchy camera too. That aside, the Godfather is a better than expected game that does it's license justice, and one of the all the more rare times that EA has put a lot of effort into one of their releases.

"Awesome", I loved this game so much! The killing in it is nice and brutel and bloody. The execution kills are fantastic. Not for kids. It's my favorite killin game. Although some of the buildings are repetitive the action movies and relavence towards the movie is quite remarkable. They show more then regular TV would ever allow lol.

"Never go against the family.", "The Godfather" is my favorite movie, so I was a little skeptical about the video game version when I first got it as a present. Now, after over forty hours of playing, I am needless to say over that skepticism. Fans of the movie should love this game as you are trained by Luca Brasi, hired by Tessio, groomed by Tom and Sonny, and finally trusted by Michael Corleone. You plant the gun for Michael to kill Sollotzo, sneak the horse's head into Walsh's bed, and chase Sonny down the Causeway as he races to his doom. But it's not all about the movie. Between missions for the family, you extort businesses, "hit" rivals, and gain respect throughout the excellently rendered neighborhoods of New York. Yes, the "non-family" missions do get repetitive, but I personally think extortion is the most fun part of the game. There's nothing like smashing a guy's shop with a baseball bat, throwing him to the ground, and pointing a gun at his head to get him to give you his money. This game is well worth purchasing. No matter the price, it's an offer you can't refuse.
