Is the game really as good as it promised to be? Nah...
It just looks dated, it looks old. It recembles GTA3 more than San Andreas or Vice City. Its 2006, and GTA3 was released in 2001! I would say that GTA3 to some extent actually looks better...
The Godfathers graphics are just ok, and thats not enough(the PC version has nicer graphics though).
The sounds are good, but the main theme gets a bit tedious in the long run. They should have saved that great Godfather theme, to the great scenes that are in the game.
The gameplay is good, the way you can lock on to a character, hold on to him and punch his guts out is a little revolution. Its a little strange most of them dont fight back though(if id been held like that I would have kicked and clawed my way out). The car mechanics is decent, but why isnt it possible to shoot holes in the tires?
All in all the game is good, but mainly because of the good moments in the main story line(the extortion bit gets dull after a while), but my main question is:
Why doesnt it look better?
