    The Godfather manages to wear its GTA influence on its sleeve but also carves its own path. It's a great game for fans of the films as it represents a high-quality and faithful replication of some defining film moments, as well as for gamers with a craving for violence, extortion and gangster shenanigans. Well worth a look. Read more

    • some low res graphics (particularly vehicles), not enough open stores, can be hard if you don't take over businesses and earn money

But despite Coppola’s fears, the game treats its hallowed source material with respect, passion and imagination. Read more

The result has been a countless number of really poor games that are nothing more than GTA clones. Maybe it was for this reason, that EA have decided to go back in time to find something of a more successful formula. Seriously, how much more sophisticated and potentially great does an open-ended action game based on The Godfather movies and novels sound? Read more

    Hey JoshRodriguez Most games have a rating like a dvd. This game in the UK has a 18 years+ rating. I have just got the game and it has lots of blood and swearing in it like the films. I have to say so far its not a bad game at all. Read more

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.
