The Godfather. EA went out and created a game based on the Godfather film. While EA didn't make a perfect game, it did make a very good one. Godfather has a great targeting system and features all of the characters from the movies.
The driving isnt great but it is still solid. It is fun to extort businesses as well. You create a gangster using mobface and bring a nobody through the ranks of the family. Then once you complete all the missons, take over rival familis businesses and compounds you become Don of New York.
Pros- Graphics are nice looking, targeting and control scheme, great music (straight from film), well done cut scenes, draws you into the experience of a real world atmosphere.
Cons- Main story is a little too short, not many vehicle options, side missions can get very repettive.
