The closest thing to being a mobster. You'll have plenty of fun playing The Godfather.
New York really looks good in this game although a lot of the buildings and cars are heavily recycled throughout the city. Another good thing is there isn't any load times when you walk into buildings and when you go to another part of the city. A lot of ways to kill your enemies and an fun interrogation system.
When you start the game you start off as an unofficial enforcer for the family. Then as you go on you have to work your way up in the ranks. And once you put enough work in you'll become Don and later you'll even become The Don of New York City. You'll also have fun extorting businesses and taking over all the rackets in the city.
Also in the game you'll notice that all of the characters look great and just about all of them sound exactly the same as they do in the movie. If you watched the movie you also notice the music in the game is the same. You'll be able to upgrade your characters stats like fighting, shooting, health and a few more stuff like that.
The game is a must have for your collection and a must play game. If you don't want to buy it then borrow it from a friend or rent it. You'll spend plenty of time playing the game and trying to beat it and you can get the game at a good price.
