Geiger317 played The Godfather: The Game

how is the godfather? heard a lot about it, but haven't seen much....

If you liked the movie and find open sandbox games such as Grand Theft Auto fun, then this game is a lovely intersection of the two.

It also features a healthy dose of third person shooting, in the form of taking over various rackets (probably around 100 throughout the city), but this can be skipped if it seems tedious as its mostly to provide extra income.

Its really amazing how well they combed the first movie for ideas. For example, the main character (Aldo) is the one who stashes the gun for Micheal Corleone to find in the restaurant, and then drives him to his departing ship afterward. Aldo is basically behind the scenes or just off-camera for pretty much everything that happens in the movie.

Its strongly suggested that you get one of the current-gen editions of the game as they have added features not in the original releases for the PS2 and Xbox.

Its one of my favorite games for the Xbox 360.
