The Godfather for the Wii is just one of those games that it is really hard to hate. The system works really well with the exception of the free aim system. The motion sensitive actions are all pretty easy to pull of and very satisfying. There is nothing quite like head butting a guy and then curb stomping his head as a finisher. Sometimes the game doesn't pick up your moves so you have to make drastic motions to perform the finishing moves but this is very rare. The story follows the Godfather movies and puts you as a random nobody in the Godfather universe. Any famous scene in the movie you probably either participate in or see first hand in the game. For instance in the beginning you work for Luca Brasi and you are hanging around the bar when he is killed. Overall the story is really well done and keeps you in the game. One of the things that was done well is keeping you busy. There is so much to do in this game you'll never just want to sit around the world and do mindless killing spree like in GTA. You can take of cities by extorting all the businesses and killing off the head family of the city and become a hitman go on missions to whack various enemy family members. However there are a few problems that make this game below what it should be. First off the graphics absolutely suck. The PS2 version looks way better than this and it makes me wonder why can't a brand new Wii beat the graphics of a system that was made over 5 years ago. Then there's the music. Unfortunately, there are three songs in this game which makes it very difficult to play for extended periods of time. There's the Godfather theme song, the car chase song, and some easy jazz. That's it. You will very quickly get irritated by the music or just mute your TV.

Overall the Godfather is a great game that I would recommend to anyone with a Wii that hasn't played the game already.

Pros- Godfather storyline, motion sensitive executions, taking over New York has never been this fun.

Cons- Graphics, 3 song soundtrack, and sometimes motion sensitive commands don't work.
