The Godfather

[HaHaUK]

Picked up the Xbox version today and have played through a few of the missions.

EA have certainly proved themselves worthy of the Godfather licence. We all thought that they would release just another GTA-style flop, but its actually really good.

I wont go into the storyline, as I don't like spoiling.

You start off by creating your character. Everything is customisable, from hairstyles, beards, eye colours, moles, face scars etc. And the actual character during the game looks good.

Controls are good. They have a new way of attacking by locking onto the target and using the right analog stick to hit. Its implemented very well and the actual attacks look neat.

I was worried that the game would feel more like The Getaway, but it doesn't and I'm really impressed with what they've done.

Will give it more play later on and report back.

Been playing the pc one of this a few days now and i must say im impressed as well, the missions are well thought out and the controls work.

Graphics wise it does seem to do all i would expect, the facial expressions especially give it a good realness

Also if your a big fan of the godfather movies like myself youll love this

Love taking over businesses and extorting the owner. But I keep getting too greedy and go over the limit and lose out on the business.

Anyone know if you can aquire a business that you failed to extort buy going over the limit later on?

It wouldn't be to bold to say that this is the best movie to game adaptation around?
Only thing that hurts the game is not having Al Pacino's likeness or voice in the game...I mean come on....the guy that is supposed to be Michael Corleone looks nothing like him!
