Don't Fuggedaboud Dis' One!
Driving through the cities is fun but gets more and more tedious when you find yourself commuting throughout the town of NYC.You can drive any car in the simulation (parked cars, cars driven by poor unsuspecting bystanders). Each car has it's own handling characteristics. The sports car is fun to drive but fragile and the truck is very durable when outrunning the cops (I outran the cops with 6 badges warranted for my arrest - I get into another 'burrough' and the cops are gone).
All of the characters from the movie are the same except for Michael Corleone. The game is very graphic when it comes to shooting and the kill moves are brutal (ie standing on the chest and firing a Tommy Gun into some's face is ghastly).
You go through the story with assignments or tasks by the Corleones but you also have side tasks of 'providing security' for business owners (ie extortion) or getting contracts for 'hits'. Some 'hits' are creative - must use a baseball bat, must throw person into crematory, throw person off of building, etc.
