I accidentally purchased this game the other day, while having what the girls at work might describe as a "blonde moment". I had been listening to a (p)review of a game on PC Gamer Podcast ( uk ). They gave it rave reviews and went on and on about the best features and how this sequel was going to blow the first game out of the water. Trouble is, they were talking about Mafia 2, but for some reason I thought they'd said Godfather 2. Id played Mafia and thought it was pants but on their review I was excited by Mafia 2. This transferred over onto Godfather 2. By a stroke of luck though, it is actually quite a good game! Which is nice. Yes, it's another GTA clone,  Read the complete review

To begin, I'd just like to say that this is a review I have previously posted on Love Film and am now reproducing here for the benefit of this community :) OK, people love GTA.....why? I hate it. Some of them have been fun, but GTA 4 was appaling. Graphicly it was very weak, the choice of colour throughout the game was the worst I have ever seen. The game was dark, the story was long, slow and drawn out, and often directionless. So why bring this up? Well, simply, because this game shows how an open world game told from the villains point of view should really work. Throughout this game you mix between fighting with other Mafia families over ...  Read the complete review

When I first said to hubbie about getting the The Godfather II game on the Playstation 3, he thought I was mad. After all the original game was so dire it ended up on eBay within a week of being bought!! However, reading the computer mags and looking at the screenshots, it looked like EA who made it had learnt from their past mistakes and gone for a more GTA / Saints Row style. You start the game by creating your own mobster character - Height, build, facial expressions etc - I took great delight in creating on that looked like hubbie!! You then get to set out on your quest to become the Godfather.... You have to recruit members into your crew - you ...  Read the complete review

Ive just finished completing this game today and found it a bit of escapism but a bit repetitive at times , its based on the Godfather movie series and follows it quite well You can design your own gangster who ends up being called Dominic and quite close to Michael Corelone , you can change facial appearance and clothes as often as you like through the 'dons view' option accessible by pressing the start button on the controller You start the game in Cuba at the start of Castro's revolution and end up having to escape , back to Florida , there the game play begins as you are given missions to take over businesses and kill the first rival family ...  Read the complete review

With Godfather 2 you should basically think GTA but with a mob This game is all about taking over rackets (businesses) in order to become the Godfather of the game world. To do this you will also need money and you dont just get this from taking over businesses, you can rob banks and use you mob members to the best of their a buildings by ordering to blow things up, cut phone lines or torch a place, depending on their skills The game has a good storyline but didnt exceed my expectations but it does keep in line with the film. The game is quite large but not as large as you feel it should be. It cosists of 3 different cities which you ...  Read the complete review
