Godfather the Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You know, it's been quite some time since I've found myself glued to a videogame where in my mind hours become seconds.I say to myself that I'm only going to play for a few minutes--fifteen, tops--next thing you know, three hours have gone by.

The last game to do that to me was "GTA: San Andreas."I thought there would never be another game that would hook me like that.I was wrong.Boy, was I ever wrong.

"The Godfather" for PS2 is an addicting and gripping game that throws you into the world of the Mafia and links you to the classic storyline found in the film.You play an older son with a score to settle.Your father was wiped out by Don Barzini right in front of you when you were little.Don Corleone tells you that when you're old enough, you will take your revenge.Now all grown up, you aim to serve your Godfather and move up the ranks from an outsider to becoming a made man and then some.If you're clever enough, you might even become Don.If you're ruthless enough to wipe out all of your enemies, you can become the Don of NY.The decision is up to you.

The game gives you the classic storyline that we all love and know from the movie, only it involves you.The missions will be very familiar to the famous scenes we have seen over and over again.Not only that, but in GTA fashion you are given a lot of freedom to do things on your own.You can shake down rival businesses using various "negotiation tactics."Need some extra cash?Rob a bank.Better yet, hijack a rival truck and steal the goodies inside.You're given a giant world to interact with.Whether you decide to play the missions straight through or do some freelancing, many opportunities to enjoy the game are to be had.

The graphics are pretty impressive.Players who are familiar with the GTA games will have an easier time getting used to the controls and the various camera angles.The look and feel are very identical.If you want my honest opinion, I actually enjoy this game a lot more than any of the GTA games, but that's because I'm such a fan of the movie.It's great that you get to relive your favorite scenes and be a part of the action.

Cons:The missions can be tricky and sometimes even downright frustrating.A good majority of them are timed so it may take you a few times to get a mission done just right.I understand the timer in some missions, but sometimes they get a little ridiculous and I feel that they're just trying to throw some unneeded obsticles in your path.The good news is that there are tons of checkpoints for each mission, so if you fail or die you will not have to start all over again.Also, the game can be glitchy at times.Now, I haven't seen anything major that disrupts my playing at all but I've heard some people with earlier copies that had some major problems, so be careful about that.

I could go on and on about this game, but I'm sure it's all been said before.You want my verdict?I love this game and think it's a blast to play."The Godfather" is bound to be a classic.If you're a fan of the movie or the GTA games, then give it a shot.I have beat the game twice already, and I still find myself playing it all over again more and more.

If you have no free time whatsoever, then stay away.This game will consume you, whether you like it or not.You have been warned.The offer has been made.Don't you dare try to refuse it if you know what's good for you.- Michael Crane
