The Godfather is a good game, with some minor annoying gameplay issues which ought to be addressed in the upcoming patch
The game starts with your father getting killed in front of your eyes, later on your mother asks Don Carleone to take you under his wing, and since it's his daughter's birthday, he can't refuse.
On the first levels, you are a simple enforcer, running around and extorting businesses, assassinating some minor mob figures and bribing low-rank cops.
Later on you step into the big ranks, where the actual GodFather movie plot unfolds, and you might recognize some famous scenes driven into the game, like assassination attempt on Don, or the famous argument between Sonny and the Consilieri.
And let me mark that the cutscenes in this game are perfectly executed, and the sound acting accompanying it is nearly outstanding.
The visual side of this game is quite neat, and really has the required atmosphere to it, but there is a big lack of fine textures, especially on cars, which makes the game look a bit unpretty in some urban areas.
The controls could also use a bit of polishing, the whole "Q" and "E" bashing is not really comfortable and it makes the game look like a cheap port from a console.
Also the interface of the game is quite a shame, the bars are way too huge and the map has a huge ugly border for some unknown reason.
Summing it all up, The Godfather is a good game, with some minor annoying glitches which can be easily addressed with a patch from the developers.
