The Godfather 2 (PS3)

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

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

I was a massive fan of the first Godfather game on the ps2, so when i saw they were releasing the Godfather 2 on the ps3, i couldn't wait to play it. I managed to find a copy on the internet for under £20, but while i was waiting for it to arrive, i read some pretty poor reviews of the game regarding graphics and playability. Now i've been playing it on/off for a couple of months, i can say that most of these reviews are correct, but it hasn't prevented me from playing and enjoying and it shouldn't stop anyone else either! The good points are (deep breath) that it allows you to achieve more in terms of the family, wiping out other families, promoting men, ...  Read the complete review
