This review was first published on April 12, 2014. Review: Godfather II Posted 13 years ago by Nick Chester While Electronic Arts’ Godfather II shares a name with the 1974 film, it’s a bit unfair to compare the two. I could not find the DVD, and as we (the lads, on a Saturday night) wanted to watch Brando 'making an offer he could not refuse, we were happy to pay £10 to Amazon. Probably best to say the combination is the best ever and leave it at that.

Multiple game versions across several platforms. Still difficult to say whether the best movie ever is Godfather 1 or Godfather 2.

Plenty of mafia inspired activities and side quests support the main storyline.

Battle against four rival families for control over the city.

Work your way up the family ranks and become The Don.

The game has obvious appeal to fans of The Godfather movie but if you haven’t seen the film then don’t be turned off as there is definitely no requirement to have watched the film to get the full (and wonderful) experience that The Godfather: The Game has to offer. Each of these families have their own area within the game, preferred style and their own colours for players to easily distinguish them in game which greatly helps to prevent unwanted all out war between families. These opposing mafia families in the game include the Barzini family, Tattaglia family, Cuneo family and the Stracci family.

All of these activities increase your families influence in the game world while reducing that of the four opposing game families. This includes extorting businesses, taking control of property, fighting other mobs and performing hits.

Players aren’t limited to following the story line and can engage in all types of mafia inspired side activities. The game is essentially split into two separate storylines for the player to follow one closely mimics the main plot events from the film release while the other is more focused on the players personal story and rise through the ranks of the Corleone family. The Godfather: The Game is based in the Godfather universe and is available across a several platforms making it the perfect Mafia based action adventure game to meet your needs.įans of the movies will instantly recognise many of the characters from the movie and the game even includes voice acting from a number of the cast to create an authentic Godfather experience.
