   You know I would give this game a excellent review, if I could..you know… PLAY IT! This game is the worst when it comes to loading, or maybe I have a defective game. Before any of you scum note that maybe my PS2 is crap. I have tried this game on 4 different PS2’s so it’s not just mines. This game I feel is defective.

   I can’t take it back because BX policy states “any opened video game and/or system can not be returned/refunded” SO basically I’m screwed. I wouldn’t sell the game to anyone because I would feel terrible. So I have a game that I can’t play.

   Let’s compare: I have Socom 3, and the disc looks like it was buffed with sandpaper, and it PLAYS. I couldn’t even get past the Dominant thing in the beginning with the stars going over the mountain… Yes its THAT terrible.

   Hope you don’t get a defective game.

   In a review submitted not more than, and prior to the release of this game, somebody raised a interest that it might turn out to be small more than a cheap copy of GTA. Well, that reviewer needn’t have worried as The Godfather doesn’t seem like a cheap copy of GTA or even a 3rd rate copy of GTA. In actual fact it seems more like an abysmal copy of another game somewhere else that had already copied Grand Theft Auto terribly…and that’s about the best thing I can say for it as digging further the pain just doesn’t stop there.

   While the both the page turning novel and epic film adaptation of The Godfather had intelligence, stylishness and a reasonable degree of depth, the game has zero intelligence, zero stylishness and no depth whatsoever. It is moulded in the stylishness of throwing android-like pedestrians and AI-challenged enemies in your way while you go about the affair of unrealistically forging a career in the mafia. You can basically steal cars (as already mentioned – just like in GTA), grab people and then waggle the left stick around on your control pad to beat them up thereby either intimidating or `icing’ them, you can shoot some terribly textured guns without any danger of feeling like your have ever been near a gun or a gunfight, and you can watch some utterly rubbish cut-scenes that stitch the thing together with all the grace and subtlety of a Punch and Judy retelling of the original tale.

   While all this is going on, of course, there are other treats to lose yourself in. Marvel as your character gets a haircut or buys some clothes (again, just as in GTA) or become steadily overawed by the addition of a skill points system that allows you to increase your ability to waggle the left stick around to greater effect or to shoot your unrealistic gun even quicker. Also, you may like the truly ridiculous driving missions that are occasionally thrown your way, in which you get to pilot something that looks like a terribly drawn brick around the dull and uninteresting streets, while further AI-challenged enemies swerve at you like metal lemmings in an attempt to irritate you to death.

   To be as blunt as possible, The Godfather is probably the worst game I have ever played, and that is really saying something. Like EA’s previous fiasco of 2006 – Black – it seems as if a fantastic thought was somehow given a lobotomy, checked owing to a series of Mediocrity Assurance Committees and only finally then released when it had been proved itself dumb enough not to confuse anyone with an IQ matching their shoe size. For myself, I could just about tolerate that from Black as who cares if there is one more moronic video game to avoid, but when it comes to dragging The Godfather into the sewer then I have really had enough.

   To trash the memory of one of the best movies ever made by plastering a ropy narrative and a generally lacklustre game onto it is unwarrantable and I sincerely hope – whoever you may be reading this – that you will feel the same. Please don’t buy The Godfather as it deserves to be a black eye for the company that made it, and then perhaps the idiots responsible will be taken out of the loop for future releases.

   Before Marlon Brando died (which I’m glad he did) recorded all of his dialogues to reprise his character, Don Corleone.

   While some actors from the film have reprise their so call legendary roles for the video game adaptation, Al Pacino flat out refused to reprise his legendary Michael Character (which I don’t hold responsible him). Poor Dominant cannot use his voice or likeness for the game. Dominant does own the rights to Godfather tale and charcters, they have announced that the Michael Corleone (actor) will appear in the game, just with different looks and a seperate voice acting.

   I like this game like I like intimidating hot women.
