    8 Comments The first Godfather game took one for the team. It took the full force of that head-in-hands, knee-jerk reaction from anyone old enough to have seen Coppola's movies. Read more

    What a film Godfather Part II was. Despite in theory being a really strong licence with mass-appeal and success soaked-in-blood all over the feature-sheet, EA have come up with an innovative game that won’t remind too many players of the film. Keeping the first game’s cinematic feel in mind though, does this contrast represent too much of a shift for a waning franchise? Read more

    Note: This is an 18 title, with adult language and very, Very, VERY graphic violence... So not one for little 14yr old Jimmy's birthday or Christmas stocking, no matter what. Read more

    EA have become renowned for their film-to-game conversions and its fair to say not all of them have been the most successful of efforts (remember their 007 hashes?). So when they announced their original Godfather game conversion, none of us knew what to expect. To our joy it was much better than their previous nightmares but they have once again got our nerves jangling with the release of The Godfather II. Read more

    Blah blah blah, talking about how awesome the Godfather films are even though the books are superior, blah blah, something about the last Godfather games good bits and faults, blah blah, praising Francis Ford Coppola's opus, talking about the brilliant sequel and how horrible the third film was in comparison even if the reviewer hasn't seen the films and end with a question asking if the game will be as good as the first two films or as bad as the third?

    I played this game from start to finish, so it wasn't totally bad. I love games like GTA4 and Saints Row I/II I hoped this would be the next one - what a disappointment. I didnt experience as many problems as the Bigpond reviewer, but I did find the game to be extremely frustrating. Several times you have to walk 5 metres from one player to another to watch 2 cutscenes. This is the sort of game I would have thought was good 5 years ago - now it's well below par. Fun for...

  2. One of the best titles since original Playstation

    I bought this game for myself because all my friends kept telling me how awesome it was. So of course they persuaded me to buy it. I don't follow The Godfather movie series and can't tell you if anything was left out, but the day I played it I knew it was one of the best games I had played in years. It's a great buy and worth every penny. Now I'm thinking of buying the first Godfather game because I heard it is just as good as the sequal. Read more

    An absolutly brilliant game! The controls were interesting and The Don's view was great as it entered a stratagy element to the game. The MobFace features were alot better and had more options than the first Godfather, the acheivements were challengeing. A game you cannot miss, definatly worth a rent or maybe even a buy! 100/100 Read more

TRUST ME THIS GAME RULES!!! so amazing!! GTA BUT BETTER! Read more
