The GTA games are big'uns, with new areas or cities to open up as you progress and enough minigames and side activities to keep the violence-lovin' corrupt youth of America busy for weeks and weeks. And while The Godfather seems more epic because of its grand Mafia tale, it also feels more limited in scope.
From what I've seen so far, the very brown, old-timey New York doesn't seem to offer much in terms of variety in environments, but in the final game, you'll see more of the city as you take over territories from rival families.
Side missions include breaking up illegal rackets to make them your own, of course and "convincing" local shops that you're their new landlord and need the rent money, but you won't be playing basketball or lifting weights here-- everything fits into the Godfather context. Combat's the best part of The Godfather so far. You can target and shoot individual body parts, which is no big deal. But when it's time to get up close and personal, you have several melee options: throw a guy against a wall or off the roof, punch with quick jabs or giant haymakers It isn't that often I get a chance to revisit a title, but it is always a great chance to reexamine old ideas.
To that end, I'd like to point you at our reviews for the PS2 and Xbox version of this game. I though that this game was good the first time I played it and this is no different. What is different is that it's even better this time. Most of the game is identical to the original versions, as the alterations made for the Xbox seem to revolve around small enhancements that improve the game play already there. First, you'll find additional missions to extend the length of the game.
You can now hire other members of the family to assist you in battle, making some of the harder combats much easier. There's more to do when extorting business, an overall graphical upgrade, more appearance options, and you can even bribe cops to fight for you. All in all, some really excellent changes. None of this would matter much, if it weren't for the presentation. The game does look better, and from what I could tell by comparison, it also offered a longer draw distance. There's something nice about looking at the Empire State Building from a couple of miles away.
For a real bang, light something up and watch it explode. It looks really amazing now. From an audio perspective, I've revised my previous opinion. The dialogue is as strong as ever, and there's much to be said for the Godfather theme running throughout the game, but I've learned something in my time playing sandbox titles. I really think that something like the radio from GTA is an important part of any of these games. Lacking anything to run in the background, it's like there's a distinct absence from the game.
As if an important character is nowhere to be seen. I know that the timeline of the game would've made it difficult to include some sort of background chatter system, but I think it is quite important. All in all, this is a good game. With the little additions, I'd say that this is definitely the version to own, as it simply has that much more to offer.
At first I had memories of every franchise title that had come before. Blade 2. Enter the Matrix. Shocking, horrifying games that served only to teach us that movies and video games don't mix. It wasn't until I remembered Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay , one of the few successes that I stopped sweating in fear. Fortunately, it looks like Godfather is well worth playing. This game has two things going for it right off the bat. First, it was designed to be at least a pseudo-sandbox title, following in the tradition of games like Grand Theft Auto , which promised a great deal of freedom.
Second, the Godfather was filmed over twenty years ago, so the risk of a game pushed out as part of a gigantic marketing is minimal, although I do smell a DVD box set somewhere on the horizon. With those elements in mind, I dove in, and joined the Corleone family.
I'm glad to say that this game does not forget that like all gamers, you are men and women of action. Instead of walking you through a calmly paced, occasionally tense New York from the film, you'll have all sorts of ways to smash and crash your way through this game.
Gameplay gets broken up between extortion and missions surrounding the film narrative, and for the most part this works. You might be a little disappointed in the treatment the film narrative receives, but on the whole, I think the developers succeeded at making this game an entertaining experience in its own right.
The controls aren't always the best, as cars can be a serious pain to drive, but the game has a good lock-on gunfight system that makes it easy to take part in a firefight and also cap your opponents in vital areas. Fistfighting is also cool, since you can really hammer on an opponent, going so far as to even strangle them, if they disrespect you.

There was a problem. Please refresh the page and try again. After the story missions have been completed, the character becomes an underboss. After he takes out the rival families' compounds he becomes the Don of the family. Alongside the story missions, the player continues to participate in the business of taking over control of New York from the rival families.
This includes extorting businesses and buying out rackets, seizing control of warehouses, performing contract hits, and fighting mob wars when the vendetta level between the Corleones and a rival family gets high enough.
