    Bizarrely creaky tech masks nice ideas. [May 2009, p.66]
  2. Even if it were finished, this movie-inspired action game wouldn't be deserving of its prestigious license.
  3. You're better off just playing through the first game a second time and waiting for The Godfather III!

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with the game in concept, and done properly, it would easily have established it as a classic on par with the film on which it's based. Instead we get brilliant concepts ham-handedly executed.
  5. Establishing a new Family is a hard undertaking… and a tedious chore. Imagine spending 10+ hours on taking over one building after another! In GTA: San Andreas and The Godfather, this occupation was but a side attraction; here, it is everything.

The incorporation of strategic elements to the GTA style of gameplay was the best idea. It makes the game unique as none other tried it so far, which makes me sad. Pickens approves! Full Review »

    The Godfather II The Game is a game based on the movie The Godfather II, developed the EA Redwood Shores and published by Electronic ArtsThe Godfather II The Game is a game based on the movie The Godfather II, developed the EA Redwood Shores and published by Electronic Arts (EA). The game manages to bring some events in the film, but little changed. In my opinion the story is not as well written as the film, and not really attract me somehow. Cities of the game are very small. A city in Godfather 2 is as GTA San Andreas Village in. Anyway, the game is not very good. Full Review »

    I've got to say with all the negative reviews I was wary of trying the game. I've also got to say that I was pleasantly surprised. This isI've got to say with all the negative reviews I was wary of trying the game. I've also got to say that I was pleasantly surprised. This is not a perfect game, but it is a very solid one. The Dons view, and the ability to pick and promote members of your family offer a nice, if slight, strategy edge to what is otherwise a slightly above average action game. It's no GTA4 or Mass Effect, but a very fun game nonetheless. If you can pick this up for any system at a bargain bin somewhere I would say it's definitely worth $20 or so. Full Review »
