Great game

3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Overall, this is a great game. It's easy to learn and fun to play. There are a variety of missions from the main storyline to the many side missions. THe contract hit side missions can get a little tedious especially later in the game when you have to drive exceedingly long distances to "off" a guy, turn around go back to the man giving the contracts and repeat the process, but the various ways they ask to kill a guy keeps the missions fresh even though essentially every hit can be over with a quick shotgun blast. One of the of the best parts of the game is going around trying to extort businesses for cash. Early in the game each business is a fight against some thugs from the other family, however, towards the end of the game you have so much respect and power that quite often the owner will give you what the money the first time you ask. The graphics and sound are quality work. Driving can be tricky, not the controls, but the car's tendency to lose control upon impact with larger items. There is the ability to create your mobster with an editor program that allows you to modify how your character will look and what clothes he will wear, assuming you have enough money for the finer clothing, during any part of the game. The many different execution styles are fun to watch from kicking a man in the chest, to the ground and blasting him in the face with your gun or simply slapping someone around with your "pimp" hand. The game has a Grand Theft Auto style gameplay, but the storyline is much better (it mostly follows the original Godfather movie). The language can be rough, but should not be a deterrent. The only downside to the game is that it is relatively short. The game can be beaten in 20-25 hours with the main storyline taking less time.
gameplay 5/5

controls 4/5

Overall 5/5
PS You will need to have the Godfather movie(s) on standby because you WILL want to watch them after this game for a while.

I thought this was going to be another game that ripped off Grand Theft Auto when I bought this game. It does a little, but only a little. This game, though, adds so much more. It has all the cool things from the Godfather Trilogy whether it's carrying out a hit on a rival family, paying bribes to G-Men and cops, or influencing store and hotel owners that they need your protection for a fee. You can go along with what the agenda is or you can go and try to obtain more businesses and racketeering ventures. And what's really cool about the game is that for each time you kill a member of a rival family, they keep a vendetta out on you. If you kill too many members of the same family, then a mob war starts. The only way to end the mob war (and win anyway) is to bribe a G-Men or bomb a rival business within 48 hours (time goes by rather quickly though, it's not really 48 real hours, more like 48 minutes if even that). The only gripe I had was the controls are a little goofy to get used to for a newbie when you're fighting (it kind of reminds me of Fight Night, the boxing video game). But I got used to it, and now it's no big deal at all.
Dollar for dollar, there aren't too many games that are as good as The Godfather. The storyline is exceptional, and there are so many things to do. It even lets you create yourself as a crime thug (I'm a longhaired hippie and it won't let me have long hair-minor bummer) and you work yourself up the family ladder. I bought 24: The Game and thought that game was pretty good, but that almost stinks when compared to this game. I liked the storyline on 24, but the options and gameplay on The Godfather are much much better, it's just way more fun (sometimes too fun, real time hours go by too fast when you play this game, warning to significant others). I reviewed 24 a couple months ago and now I wish I hadn't given it such a good review after playing this game. If you're a fan of the Godfather Trilogy, you'll absolutely love this game. If you're not familiar with the series (I would say "If you're not a fan", but that would be absurd. I mean if you're reading this, you can't dislike the movies unless you just dislike Godfather 3), you'll get to be a character in the movie but in game form. Parents should be cautioned with this game. It's violent and the language might not suit young ears. Otherwise, I know you'll love this game. It's unique gameplay and storyline will give you hours and hours of enjoyment.

RENT IT - DON'T BUY IT!Review created: 10/08/06

If you've ever played Grand Theft Auto, any version of it, you'll know that there was a lot of manhours, effort, and passion went into making such an electronic masterpiece. The Godfather Xbox Game seems to have tried to replicate this and, for marketing purposes only, base it on the classic Trilogy, "The Godfather." Some corporate big shot probably thought it was a very lucrative idea to make such a game. While the graphics are decent, the game gets boring, monotonous, and very repetitive. You don't have the freedom to go wherever and do whatever you want. This game was obviously just to make money. It was very shoddily put together, with no reverence whatsoever. It is worth renting, just to try it out... but don't waste your money and buy it.

It was good. If you like GTA and Godfather movies you wont be dissapointed. Kinda like GTA without the minigames. Almost 20 hours in length, depending on how much time you spend doing other things in between the games core story missions.after you've beat the game, you'll probably want to go back and make a new character, explore what you may have missed the first time around and change your persuasive tactics etc.

Godfather IBought for the 17-yr old. He pushed me into it, supposed to be 18+, but you know, they can't wait for the number II, which has alredy whetted their appitites.. Have not played, but the recipient says it's "really hard". I suggest parents play a round, just to see if the violence is up to par....Really rasty. ---Tim

The Godfather on XboxThis game is very appealing to any fan of the Godfather trilogy, or any other mafia related games. A mixture of driving, role playing and strategy tie together to create a very enjoyable game.

Exactly What Was DescribedI received my game that was purchased from this seller and everything from the way the item was described on ebay all the way to the package arriving. I am without a doubt very impressed and I know I can trust this seller 100% on any other purchases I make. This seller has been placed in my favorite seller's list. This item was listed and still factory wrapped and it was. It wasn't re-wrapped using a shrink wrap machine that anyone can by at walmart.
Thanks again

The Godfather (XBOX)Excellent game, if you loved the movie, you'll love the game. A lot of action packed into this one and Marlon Brando does the actual voice of Don Corleone.

The Godfather (Xbox)I like that this game shows how they rise up the ranks to be the Dons of New York. I decided to buy it because I thought the movie has a very great story line so I would think the game would also have a great story line too.

WHY PAY HUNDREDS FOR A PLAYSTATION3 GET YOURS FREE!Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:
http://www.youtube.com/wa
Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!
There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)
Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.
