Good but ultimately unsatisfying

User Rating: 7 | The Godfather PC
By DRyOrange_basic | Review Date:
When I brought "Mafia: City of Lost Angles" ( Gamespot Score 9.3), I did so to enjoy the crime world made so famously by movies such as The Godfather. So naturally when "The Godfather" game came out, I had high hope that it will deliver quality game playing like "Mafia" but with nostalgic atmosphere. The game play is good- if you like GTA style of play, and the fact that you are part of "The Godfather" world is very cool. However, is it a surprise that it didnt deliver the feeling of the 50's New York as well as "Mafia". The graphic is rather bad (surprising "Mafia" has better graphic" ) and the repetitive movie sound track really makes it a rather dissapointing game. The control is just terrible! It is clearly a port from console game.

If you never played "Mafia" go buy it. If you have done so, and has money to spare, you may give it a go. Just.

    Most of the time when I hear about a game that is based on a Movie I just don't bother about it, however when I played The Godfather I understood that EA created a new game with it's own rights. That Game has a lot of M... Read Full Review
