It's the works of a great action game, but just doesn't get the job done.

User Rating: 8.4 | The Godfather PS2
The Godfather is a very fun and addictive game at first, but after a while you'll get bored of taking the long road trips across towns constantly forcing you to look at the map, trying to take over EVERY business, etc. etc. The easy to master controls and solid graphics make up for the just okay gameplay. But, the game is very long especially if you want to complete it with 100%. You start out the game by creating your own chacter, which can be alot of fun. Then you make you're way through various missions. There are also the fun hitman missions. They basiclly give you a target, you kill the target, you get money. But if you kill the target in a special way, you get extra money. Money is important for buying new clothes, extras, apartments which also serve as game save slots, etc. Hope you enjoyed, let alone read my whole review.
___________________BOTTOM LINE____________________________
Great game with a wide free roam and linear missions, and if you're a big fan of the original movie, this is a must MUST get. But if you're looking for a good short or normal lengthed action game, I wouldn't suggest this.
