Okay, so I mentioned earlier that I watched the Godfather and loved it. Now I saw that they just recently released The Godfather for PC.
I was walking through Target the other day, and while browsing the electronics section I saw The Godfather for PC! I looked through the strategy guide they had and some other stuff, and I almost bought the game, but I havn't even finished HL2 single player yet, so I figured i'd wait to see the reviews…etc.
Well the reviews are out, and at gamespot it gets an 8.1 out of 10, which is pretty good, but not REALLY good. Here's the good and bad from Gamespot:
The Good: The game makes great use of the film license; plenty of challenging, multitiered missions to keep you busy; fun combat and interrogation system; you can explore a great-looking, expansive map of 1940s new york, with no load times; good music.
The Bad: Heavily recycled character and vehicle models, as well as building interiors; occasionally glitchy and stupid artificial intelligence; unstable frame rate.
Obviously, i'm not going to post the entire review here, but you can check it out for youself here.
You can be sure this is a game I will be getting in the near future! (After I finish HL2, of course)
If you have played and enjoyed the game Mafia , you will definately love it . It is quite similar to that .

I love Mafia, but this game is dreadfull imho.
I have played it and can’t actually believe that any reviewers think that this game is any good.
The controls are inresponsive, the graphics look dated. The sound is nothing special either. It’s glitchy and buggy.
And lastly: Marlon Brando doesn’t look like Marlon Brando in the slightest way.
If you want a Mafia styled game, play Mafia instead, it’s a lot better and will cost you a lot less of you hard earned cash.
I can’t even imagine how the reviewer over at gamespot could have given this game a 8.1 without being bribed.

Sounds good enough. I hope Digit also does a review on this.

i think mafia was one of the most well crafted n thoughtful games of all times…i hv seen godfathers promos n its clearly a GTA meets MAFIA..if borrows the quickness of GTA n the classic ambience n feel of MAFIA…EA really messed up it seems so..

You loved Mafia? Well, you wil be hugely disappointed with the Godfather. I can’t believe that after so much time EA could make such a flawed game: graphics are poor, cam-movement makes you seasick, controls are unnatural, driving is unreal, it’s a bad game. The storyline is good, but that’s al there is to it.
