The Godfather is a great lengthy game with a good story, and GTA style gameplay. But the game falls with some problems
User Rating: 8.4 | The Godfather XBOX
The Godfather is a game just like GTA, atleast GTA 3. Even though I have never seen the godfather movie, i think that the game is a great game, but the game falls with a few flaws. First of all the A.I. is sometimes stupid, there are only like 5 vehicles in the game, the same building interiors are used too many times and worst of all the unstable frame rate. Other than all of that the game is really great. You can take over businesses, buy safehouses, blow up compunds and kill enemy families. The storyline of the game is kinda short, but are fun and sometimes challenging. In the beginning of the game you are a lonley outsider that gets pick on by a small gang, until one of the don corleon's men come to save you known as Luca Brasi. After the Corleons lets join their family. The game has ranks in the family, first your an outsider, then you become a soldier, then an enforcer, after an underboss, until finally you become don. There are only about 8 weapons in the game, a shotgun, pistol, tommy gun, magnum etc. In the game you can upgrade your weapons and your skills. There are 5 skills in the game in each 10 levels. The first skill is fighting, the higher the level the better your fighting skill. There is also the shooting skill, speed, health and business skills. To upargade those skills you have to get respect, to get respect you need to do the story missions or hit contracts or just taking over busnisses. The game feels like it isn't finished yet, because the game lacks with glitches. For one, you can't kill your ally mafiosos and that when ever you get stuck you just get teleported out. These kinds of things make the game feel very unrealistic. The godfather is a great game in its own right, and if your a fan of the movie or a fan of the GTA genre then there is no doubt that you should buy this game.
