AN OFFER YOU MIGHT AS WELL REFUSE !!
So much Hype so much speculation about The Godfather made me wanna buy the game as soon as it hit the stores.So i finally did Buy the game.
And after completing the game i am writing the review which you'll read in the lines below.
STORY - We are a soldier of the Corleone family.And just do the missions given to us by some caporegimes of the Corleone family.The story of the game does manage to stick to the actual events of the Movie and and is quite well handled.
GAMEPLAY - Well people say that this game is a total rip-off of the GTA - series, but i wouldnt say it cause GTA is far better than Godfather.The environment is quite big enough to explore, but with only 5 types of vehicles and no public transport it becomes quite frustrating.The game has around 15 hours of gameplay out of which you'll travel 12 hours in search for the next mission.I must also admit that Driving in Godfather simply sucks.
You have no speedometer ,no streetlamps, Crappy handling , Confusing Map and the list goes on and on.Also the environments are repetative
( I never knew all Hotels have same infrastructures, and same goes for barber shop, bakery , warehouses , compounds ).
The game introduces a new kind of interrogation system which is quite fun in the beginning but gets annoying later on.
The only thing which is good are the Shoot-outs and executions which make the game somewhat playable.
GRAPHICS - Graphics of the Godfather are good, but considering the game came out in 2006 it looks quite dull.The graphics of Mafia was much better and quite realistic too.The corleone family seems too hire only those people who look the same.All human beings look like a clone of one another.The cars look dull and have no physique at all.But cutscenes are quite good.
SOUND - The sound in Godfather is the only thing EA worked on.
It is brilliant.The Theme of the Godfather is just too good.
The Voice acting is top-notch and gives you a feel of the Godfather.
PROS - Sound, Voice acting , Cutscenes , Bonus Clips from the Movie , New Interrogation system.
CONS - Short game , Bad A.I , Driving , Repetative Environments and People
I would have been happy if the game was like MAFIA , but to say that is an insult to MAFIA
The Godfather is a game which is below my expectations.
The only thing that kept me playing this game was the interest in the story which thankfully does not seem to bore you.
All in all The Godfather is satisfying in its own way but if you're looking for too much fun look somewhere else.This game is nowhere compared to the classic Mafia.
Another word of advice : "If you havent played Mafia you better play it instead of Buying The Godfather".
DEAD RISING is the game u r lookin for
