Game Description

Gamers will create their own mob character in the game, putting themselves into the action while reliving classic moments from the fiction and experiencing original missions alongside memorable characters from the film.

After a life of small-time jobs and petty thefts the player will be accepted into the Corleone family, Americas most famous criminal organization. It will be up to the player to carry out orders, earn respect and make New York City their own. On the face of it The Godfather isnt an obvious movie to be made into a video game, what with it being more than thirty years old and staring a lot of middle age men in hats. On the other hand it is incredibly violent; and morally ambiguous enough to make an excellent period version of Grand Theft Autowhich is exactly what this appears to be. Although lots of missions from and inspired by the movie are promised you actually play a completely new character and control them over a period of ten years, between 1945 and 1955.

During this time you get to take part in all manner of mobster type activities including managing protection rackets, assassination missions and full blown gang wars against the five different mob families in the game. Despite all the big name stars lending their voices and faces to the game its actually New York that seems to be the main star with a highly impressive, if somewhat sparsely populated, virtual city. The graphics are excellent, although it remains to be seen just how much variety there is to the missions, considering the game cant really go to some of the more surreal excess of Grand Theft Auto. So even if this isnt quite an offer you cant refuse, its at least looking like one to be taken very seriously. --Harrison DentThis prev.
