Title: Godfather: The Game is pretty awful
Post by: The Fake Shemp on August 10, 2007, 02:11:40 PM

I picked it up as a bargain bin title as I got the strategy guide for free.  As a fan of the series, I thought EA might be able to put enough fan service to make the game bearable, but the combat system is awful and the city is ugly and I just don't like it.  I'm returning it today.

It was more mediocre than awful.  I still think it's better than a good portion of the GTA clones, like True Crime and shit.

Uh no, True Crime has Zombies and Dragons. Godfather has boring mobsters.

True crime had bullet time.

Wii version actually got pretty better scores than the PS3 versions.  Did waggling change the game that much?

I saw a friend of mine playing this on his old XBOX....
I left less than impressed.

I got Tomb Raider: Legend instead and put the extra money towards Bioshock.

Don't be like a GAFfer and run to post impressions of a game you only played for five minutes next time.  I still love you though.  :-* :-*

When is Tomb Raider Anniversary hitting the 360, anyway?  I may just go ahead and start on the PSP version...

Gamefly sent me this last week (thought I deleted it from my list) and it's surprisingly fun. The game itself is mediocre at best but the Wii controls make the game average. It's a lot of fun doing the motion, especially slamming people into walls, head butting and choking a guy. It's worth at least a rental.
