    Wow... Where to start... First of the health system sucks. I upgraded it, but it didn't help. I'm used to health systems that work I guess. Cars handle horribly, and why would you make a game where the control stick to move the camera, was the same one to fight? While doing an extortion mission, I accidently killed the merchant trying to move my camera. I did like the voice acting and the fact that the story line paralleled the movies. Game play was just broken. Had potential but fell short.… Expand

    This game was pretty fun and it was kindof cool how many executions you could do. i hated the fact that they didnt put al pachino in for michal, that was pretty stupid. Another thing i disliked was there was almost no blood in this game, if you shoot someone in the back of the head with a pistol theres should be a pretty large puddle of blood on the ground afterwards, but regardless this was a pretty fun game that i enjoyed alot. Oh and I dont know why people are saying saints row is better than this game. Im pretty sure saints row was a horrible game, like really horrible.… Expand

    The game isn't too bad, but there are too many factors holding it back. The difficulty level is a little too high, which wouldn't matter, except that YOU CAN'T LOAD YOUR F*****G GAME. It cannot be understated how obnoxious it is having to quit your game and reload from the main menu. I wouldn't mind dying all the time if I could just load the game and restart the mission in a matter of seconds (like every other sandbox game EVER). But it takes 2-3 minutes just to get back to the start of the mission. It may sound picky, but it is utter b******t not being able to load a game while in-game. As a matter of fact. I'm changing my rating from 4 to 3. Forget this crap, get Saints Row. Light years better.… Expand

    After playing the PC version in the spring I was hesitant to try the 360 version. Wow. Great graphics - pretty good control scheme and loads to do. This is the kinda game that grows on you. I've put 8 hrs into it and I'm nowhere near finished. Sure it gets frustrating and some parts are very hard, but that is what makes for replay value. My only complaint is that the producers were unable to secure Pacino's voice for the character of Michael.… Expand

    Awesome game, really. it goes along the veins of saints row and grand theft auto, and it holds up just as well as those do. the story is very well done, the characters are great, sticking well along the lines of the godfather we know and love, and it delivers on the action, and the driving, and the oddjobs and assignments. its a great, immersive game, and with all the hours youll spend playing, its definitely worth a purchase.… Expand

    With games like GTA and Saints Row everywhere, I thought this game was refreshing. Fun, realistic, and addicting, and with over 40 hours of gameplay, this game is a winner in my book.

    In my view this game is underrated. The main problem is probably that people try to compare it to the godfather films. It is not going to be as good as them because it is in a different line of media and focuses more on the game play than anything else. I view it more of a 1950s Grand Theft Auto which lets face it is something that we do not see enough. I rate this as ten due to the rating being lower than it deserves. I advise that if you are the type of person who enjoys third person soot em ups you should buy this game. If you don't like third person shoot em ups then start liking them.… Expand

    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.

    However, the fact remains that this is still the same flawed game that was released for the current-gen systems. [Oct. 2006, p.104]

    The across-the-board improvements on Xbox 360 pick up where the current-gen gameplay left off, but they probably don't justify the added cost for people who have already played a current-gen version.
