The Godfather - I was waiting for this game for almost one year and now when I got this game and started to play I realized that it's not game that can win the heart of a gamer. But don't think that this game is not worth of playing. I am going to write some good aspects of this game and also some areas where the developer could improve.
Main missions of the game are totally amazing and fun to play and the sound tracks and voice acting are the main attraction of The Godfather. Though Music tracks are repetitive and there are not many dialogue lines in the game. Beside the main missions I like the hit missions too. But these are too short if you consider the main missions number and it's too easy to finish the game.
It's a game where you will find the taste of GTA and Mafia - Graphics & environments are very much similar to Mafia and open style game play is like GTA. But graphics is not smashing and little bit dated too. I got good frame rate all the time but driving sometimes caused little bit slow down. Character customization is a nice thing to have in this kind of game. And there are also some hidden film rolls like GTA's hidden package. You can unlock cut scenes from the movies by collecting these but it's not something appealing, because they are very hard to find and movie clips as a reward is not something you will like. You also have to take over all the warehouse and business and almost all the business buildings are similar looking!
You can also upgrade your stats by collecting reward points and you gain maximum 50 levels when you gain enough points. You will gain points for missions, by performing different killing styles, busting the safe and for other activities too. Also there is weapon upgrades upto level 3 and those level three weapons are just great and make the game easier.
Now something about New York City – the game location. When I first time started playing this game I was confused about the direction and how to go to a particular place but as the game progress it became very easy. There is no key for viewing the in game map and you have to pause every time to see that map. And one last thing about the control especially the auto targeting that makes the gun fighting really frustrating. Overall it is a good game but nothing special.
