The Godfather (PS2)

...2006 --------------------------------------------------------------- == HISTORY== The Godfather was a film released in 1978 that stared some great actors like James Caan and Robert Duvall which all did voice overs for their characters in this game. Electronic Arts being one of the biggest video game developers and publishers got the license to make the game and started the project in 2004. Unfortunately Marlon Brando died later that year only ...
...use another actor to do the rest of the voice over although you do not notice a difference. Many films to games have turned out to be very bad and have only sold really to do with the license and its fans of the film, so please read on and see if this is another one of those or a rare moment where the game shines as brightly along side its films counterpart. ==STORY== The story follows closely to the film's plot, letting you play out main events ...

Review of The Godfather (PS2)

...has long been one of the leading developers of games across all platforms. EA continues to put out popular franchises like 'Need For Speed' and 'Burnout' from its studios in Canada, Orlando, Redwood City, Tokyo, Chicago, and Los Angeles, as well as other locations around the world. -(The Story)- The game starts with you as a young boy as you watch your dad being murdered by mobsters. Fast-forward a few years to the wedding from the first film as ...
...created character who wasn't in the film. But the character fits into the game very well and doesn't feel out of place. Although the game has a new character, the game sticks quite closely to the film and does have some of the scenes from the film and has most of the original characters from the film. Though the game sticks closely to the films, you don't have to have watched the film to understand the story which means the game is available for ...

Review of The Godfather (PS2)

...boy into Gamestation I chose The Godfather in the hope that it would give me just as much enjoyment as the film did all those years ago and I must say I was not let down by this game title at all. If I was to compare this title to another game then I would have to say it is a much more structured version of Grand Theft Auto as the storyline is much easier to follow and the game play is just as violent and destructive. On a down note I would defiantly ...
...missions. Game Play The game play is very easy to follow you can free walk and drive as well as hijacking various vehicles and buying up new and more powerful weapons as the game progresses my favourite would have to be the Derringer machine gun. The cut scenes are very good at various stages of the game and explain the story very well; these are very much the same as Grand Theft Auto but with the film in mind. Your mission is to become the Don ...

Review of The Godfather (PS2)

I found the game to be similar to \'Grand Theft Auto (GTA)\' as you go around stealing cars, and following orders to move through the game. In \'The Godfather\' you have to go to business and extort them. You are part of the Corleone family and there are 4 other rival families. It is set in New York, with 5 parts to it: Brooklyn, Little Italy, New Jersey, Midtown and Hell\'s Kitchen. You have the chance to use different weapons and you are given ...
...Underboss. when you finally complete the game, you become Don of NYC. The game is enjoyable to play, but it feels repeatative as you go to business which are similar to one another exploiting the owners and taking control of the business, which was before owned by a rival family. I didn't find the game to be too challenging as I managed to complete it within 3 days. The tasks were all a similar level of difficulty and unlike most games, didn\'t get ...

Review of The Godfather (PS2)

...obvious choices such as the GTA series, and other such titles, but i do beleive that 'The Godfather' will firmly cement it's self in the hall of fame of playstation 2 gaming. Using a revolutionary new system, the 'Blackhand' , you are free to judge yourself how hard to hit enemies. This is a useful system, as in this game you have to extort businesses to earn money. By puling the analogue stick back, you therefore pull your hand back, and scare the ...
...cleverly designed levels, vaguely following the godfather series, you traipse around New York, stealing cars, extorting businesses , defeating rival gang members. and of course completing the odd missions. A beatufiul addition to the game is the 'Htman' missions. Using these missions breaks up the story gameplay greatly, offering bonuses if the target is killed according to the contract.. You can also take control of rival family headquarters and ...

Review of The Godfather (PS2)

...come a few years down the line. If your a fan of the Grand Theft Auto games then you are going to enjoy this, if your a fan of The Godfather Part One then this game should be quite interesting to play because this game has alot of aspects of the movie bult in. You start the game as a basic thug who has been taken on by the Corleone family as a favour to your Mother who has asked the Don (Marlon Brando) to look after her son wo has gone off the rails ...
...then taken on fully by the Corleone Family to do basic film tie in tasks at the start, planting Michaels gun in the toilet systen and the horses head mission are quite fun and also unlock film scenes. After a while of game play you will get more into the game and the shake down missions, though the hitman option is also very fun ...
