User Rating: 9 | The Godfather: Blackhand Edition WII
By K_u_F | Review Date:
From the first time you bust a cap into a rival gangsters head using the great Wii controls you will be drawn in, not just by the immersive storyline and its missions, but also by the great controls, tons of hidden collectables, vast free-roaming city and always fun side missions such as extorting and hit contracts.
The games soundtrack is a non-offensive simple one of classical music with a mafia theme, and some taken straight from the film itself, the voice acting is superb and all guns make a satisfying noise when fired.
The graphics are probably the games weakest point, though they are still pretty impressive, objects blow up in a eruption of flames, blood spils, cars show their damage and the character models look decent enough, although its clear extra effort has been put into the main characters looks.
Talking of characters, yours can be customised from his hair to his scars to his clothes, and can be upgraded as you go through the game, adding even more depth to the game.
So with countless fun things to do, The Godfather is a very enjoyable game, enhanced greatly by he brilliant Wii exclusive controls.
Give it a look, and you wont b dissappointed.
