Welcome to the Corleone family. After a life of small-time jobs and petty thefts you've been accepted into America's most famous criminal organization. Now it's up to you to carry out orders, earn respect, rise through the ranks, and make New York City your own. Play your cards right and you could even be running everything as the next, and most powerful, Don.A story about family, respect and loyalty, The Godfather book by Mario Puzo and film by Paramount Pictures serve as inspiration for the game as you join the Corleone family and earn respect through loyalty and fear as you rise through the ranks to become Don in a living, 1945-1955 New York. The Godfather will put you at the center of action in one of history's most revered cinematic masterpieces, allowing you to create yourself in the game, and then choose your path as you rise from lowly outsider to envied and feared Don.The Godfather will offer gamers countless choices for solving the family's problems with brutal violence, skillful diplomacy, or a cunning mixture of both. From mob hits and bank heists to drive-bys and extortion, step deep inside the world of The Godfather where intimidation and negotiation are your tickets to the top. Players will use their powers of loyalty and fear to earn respect through interactions with characters in the world. Decisions made by the player in the game will have lasting consequences, just as it was in the mob underworld featured in The Godfather fiction.The Godfather film from Paramount Pictures featured some of Hollywood's finest actors and several are contributing to the game's development. All character likenesses from the movie will be included and lending their voices to add a dramatic and cinematic touch to the game are the late Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone, James Caan as Sonny Corleone and Robert Duvall as consigliore Tom Hagen. minimize

4 Star Review The Godfather The Game

Strengths:

Great source material Missions are fun City is very large and it's great to see the little details

Weaknesses:

Graphics aren't up to par with other 360 titles

Posted Jul 19, 2007 - Who doesn't want to play the role of the Godfather? Well at least you get to try. You aren't a character from the book or movies, but you do play a role. You are an up and coming gangster and the game plays very similarly to Grand Theft Auto. The missions are really fun, and you get to participate in all kinds of criminal activity in a world that you can escape into. The only problem is that the graphics aren't all that they could be. If you can overlook that, then you will have a great time in The Godfather The Game.

5 Star Review I'm Gonna Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse...

Strengths:

FUN Factor!!! The Godfather!!! Huge City Maps and Challenging Gameplay

Weaknesses:

Aiming System

Posted Apr 19, 2008 - This game is addicting!!! I bought the game along with a couple of others and never played it... After owning it for 5 months I thought Hmmm maybe I'll pop it in and give it a try... Man I was blown away by how fun it was... I didn't know what I was missing out on... Once I started playing I just couldn't stop.... Tons of missions and stuff to do... this game takes quite a while to fully beat but it is well worth it... The only thing that I saw as a weakness was the Aiming system.... It didn't always aim at the closest enemy shooting at you and caused me to die a couple of times... But once you get used to it then you can accomadate for it and just be cautious. Overall I would recommend this game to anyone who likes games similar to Grand Theft Auto.

4 Star Review Not a bad clone of GTA

Strengths:

Graphics, sticks to the movie story

Weaknesses:

Al Pachino's voice and likeness are not in the game

Posted Jan 11, 2008 - Awesome game, really. it goes along the veins of Saint's Row and Grand Theft Auto, and it holds up just as well as those do. The story is very well done, the characters are great, sticking well along the lines of the Godfather we know and love, and it delivers on the action, and the driving, and the oddjobs and assignments. It's a great, immersive game, and with all the hours you will spend playing, it's definitely worth a purchase.

4 Star Review The Godfather

Strengths:

Playing a role, familiar characters and story

Weaknesses:

garphics

Posted Dec 15, 2007 - This game is fun to play. You can play a role in gang world. You can do whatever you want and its storyline is very flexible depending your choices of actions. It is very similar to GTA series. But since this game is based on the movies series, your familiarity to characters can be more fun to play. One thing I don't like in this game is its graphics. I don't see why it is published on the Xbox360 with so poor graphic quality. But overall it is a fun game to play.
