It is also very short. There is also the 50 cent games that are ok at best, bulletproof has a decent enough story and blood on the sand is short but sweet. The xman vowverine game and the spiderman games, the newer one and the old ones are also quite good, some better than other.

    No, no, no: the Luca Brasi scene at Connie's wedding wasn't meant to imply that Brasi was some speechless oaf. First of all, that scene was completely real, ie, it was the actor, Lenny Montana (who had been an actual mob enforcer/bodyguard as well as pro wrestler) nervously practicing his dialogue, and Coppola decided to keep it in the film because it underscored how respected and feared Don Vito was. Second, in the book, it's made plain just why Brasi was so feared (chopping up two of Al Capone's goons with an axe); he certainly wasn't just some brainless goon.

      He was a psychopath, that's why he was feared. The whole reason he was loyal to Vito was because Luca forced a woman to throw his newborn child into a furnace at gunpoint. Then was arrested a week later for murdering the child's mother. The woman who was forced to kill the child felt safe enough to tell Vito what really happened and Vito had the charges dropped knowing a man willing to murder his own child was a man willing to do anything, and winning that loyalty would be priceless. Although the man disgusted Vito.

    This is the kind of game you can never go back to many years later, but if you were there to play it when it was new it was a blast, especially for Godfather fans. I remember loving the way they combed the movie to find scenes in which a nameless Corleone goon was present, like the cannoli scene where you play the guy in the back seat, just so they could turn the goon into Player 1 Agent Smith style. And surprisingly... it worked (mostly).
    As for the criticism concerning the movie not lending itself to an action game, I think it lends itself perfectly to show the other side of the coin: where the movie shows the leading branch of the family and their hands-off approach, the game shows the muscle and their wet work.

There could also be the chance that the noise muffled his voice too much. Also, I doubt EA wanted Brando's delivery to be compromised.

    This was one of my favorite games on the PS3, after a long time searching for this game I found a copy on some dodgy website and I bought it again. Brought back so many memories, I believe I 100% it in like 2 long ass days back last year. Loved the fact that you had to holster your weapons in public (I had never seen that before back then) and the whole taking over NYs boroughs from other families really gave me flashbacks from GTA San Andreas with the whole turf war going on. The atmosphere is pretty good, it really is a great homage to the movie. After seeing this in my recommended vids I'm so ready to sneak back into those compounds once again.

    My dad, who I had never seen play a video game other than Age of Empires 2, picked this game up one night after watching me play it. I showed him how to start a new save file, gave basic instructions, then went off to bed. The next morning I woke up to find him having not slept, still glued to the TV. His infatuation went on for a few weeks. My older brother reminds me every so often of the time he got a call while at work from my dad, who wanted to know how to throw a shopkeeper in an oven. My dad died 2 years ago, and this game brings back fond memories. My bro and I still remind each other about it every so often.

    Take a look at the Saboteur! I think it’s one of the most underappreciated games of that generation! it’s a fun game with a strong and consistent tone, and there’s much more than meets the eye in terms of approach to narrative and setting, too - just lacks a bit of polish.

    The funniest thing is if you complete the side missions before completing the main game, if you control all of new york and then finish the final mission, you go through the cutscene where Michael is welcomed as the new don of the family, only for it to cut to you sat at the chair and everyone hailing you as the don of new york in the very next scene in the exact same room, almost like you just shot Michael, took his chair and everyone's cool with it.

    I def like Mafia better as a game. Found them stark contrasts. Godfather seemed based around the repetitive gameplay of smashing and buying up shops, then having shootouts to protect them, with a sort-of story in the background. In Mafia, every mission was motivated to progress the story, was novel from the ones before (even if there was several shoot-all-the-people-who-shoot-at-you missions) and just seemed to want to bring that era to life. The car bonus missions were the only part that seemed a little tacked on. Only, with such designed missions, I wish there was more of it.
    Mafia 2 felt like they tried to bridge the gap between the two games. Nowhere near as fun. Never finished.

    • @k1ngof1self
