About

The book by Mario Puzo and the classic film serve as inspiration here, as gamers will join the Corleone family and earn respect through loyalty and fear as they rise through the ranks to become Don in a living 1945-1955 New York. It will be up to the player to carry out orders, earn respect and make New York City their own. Featuring non-linear action-adventure gameplay, The Godfather will offer gamers countless choices for solving the family's problems with brutal violence, skillful diplomacy, or a cunning mixture of both.

    If you didn't catch The Godfather the first time, though, this is definitely the version you'll want to sample. Rather than just rehashing the movie's plotline, this videogame Godfather spins a separate narrative that runs parallel to it, following the story of a young street bastard who gets inducted into the infamous Corleone crime family.

    The Godfather: The Don's Edition is a strong and rather noticeable improvement over the original release, though much of it does feel outdated on the PlayStation 3. EA has done a great job of expanding nearly every facet of the game, and even though only a few of these additions change the game in major ways, the overall package is a good deal better.

    Ultimately, the game's body count moves it away from the film and makes it more like a poor man's GTA

    For players that are hankering for some mob action, even if they had played it before during its previous release, they could do worse than to take the Godfather for a ride. Just remember that negotiations with cash are usually not as effective as negotiations with a boom-stick.

    EA upgraded a bunch of little things and improved the overall experience for Xbox 360. Of all the versions, I would get this one (especially because of the Achievements and Leaderboards), but if you already own it, you won't need to buy it again. Gamers have higher expectations for next-generation titles than current gen games, and The Godfather looks and plays exactly like what it is: A good upgraded current-gen game.
