A fun game, graphics leave a bit to be desired...
Aside from that The Godfather is a fun game that gets you involved with one of my favorite movies/books of all time and one of the best created families of all time, The Corleone's.
I love everything Mafia and this game was right up my alley. The controls are fluid, even the use of the sixaxis controllers brings an element of "hey, I just tossed that guy in front of the bus" reality.
There's plenty to see and do on the map, though it all does seem a bit repetitive after subsequent hours of game play. They do have little side missions to complete, but again, it's all the same. That's why I list it as a guilty pleasure. I just want to see how much money I can gather.
As a chick player, I love the fact that we get to actually create our character, from moles to scars to outfits, it's our choice... and we can switch it up later... but of course, what you wear affects certain areas of how the NPCs react to you.
The game is plenty of fun, I just wish there was some extra missions after you become Don of NYC. More control over your crew or something. Because once it's beat... it's beat.
Definitely a guilty pleasure, not sure it's a must have for the PS3. But a fun game none-the-less.
