The Godfather (PlayStation 2, 2006)

The Godfather is a solid game. I would say that if you can get this game for around $20 then go for it. Anything higher than that and I'm not sure you'll get the replay value out of it that other games can offer. The environments and feel of the game is great, but there seems to be a total of 10 different building layouts in this NYC and the missions often have you drive 10 minutes just to be told you need to drive somewhere else that takes 10 minutes. Targetting can be aggravating when the heat is on and the AI seems to have psychic abilities at times when you enter their rackets.

Bottom line: The action and story is great. For the first 10 hours you won't be able to put the game down. But a lack of variety of missions and a few play mechanic issues will get under your skin.
