I really enjoyed this game and it lasts a decent amount of time with lots to do. I originally started playing on a very old TV that was only 19 inches and had problems reading things. However, when I hooked it up to the 42" HD Plasma, it was amazing, I even saw icons I didn't know existed. Its overall a really fun game

Excellent game

I have all platforms & consider myself a decent judge of games the PS3 version tried to hard to improve on great game if you have to a play God Father version play the PS2 or Xbox & Wii version better feel for the game then the PS3.

Uninvolving and uninspired

By the time your neck deep in this game you've had all the phoney accents you can stand. This game is a mish-mash of cliche's and stereotypes piled high on a bed of repeditive task that seemingly get you nowhere. Sure, you rise among the family, people speak to you more nicely and all, but in the end you keep getting sent oun on the same crappy jobs.

The better plan would have made this a tactical game, you play as the Don, and control and expand your empire. But no, you play as a grease spot working his way up the ranks and you do the same things over and over and over and over and over again.

Better than I suspected.

This game is a lot of fun to play. It could be better(more options like GTA), but fun enough that I keep playing it over & over.

The Godfather the Way it should be

Well, I played the original Godfather of XBOX back when it first came out. That game was definetly a FIVE STAR game.. So when I started readig about some extra options on the New one brought to you by Playstation 3 I couldnt resit. This game although there are alot of things that are the same. There is also alot more features about this game that will bring you right back into it. I have been playing this game for week straight. There are more Rackets to take over more types of shops and also The Hit Squad option is bad A$$.. Great job with this game.. A Must buy if you love the mafia type game

one of the best games I have ever played!!!!!!!

This is a good game. I just don't like the map and having to go back to the safehouse and save all the time. The map is a little small and hard to find places. Other than that this is a great game.

A really good game, just a little repeating...

Now, The Godfather - The Dons edition really is a wonderful game.
It have great graphics, a long playtime (15hours+), nice missions, great weapons and a huge map.
People who liked the GTA series would probably like The Godfather, since many of
the features are the same. You can walk anywhere you want on the map, walk inside
buildings whenever you want (a lot more than in GTA) and you can do whatever you want to.

The bad part thought, there's always one, is that the game is a little to repeating after having
played it for hours, businesses have to be taken over, again, and again, and again (there is over 50
of them so think about it) and you have to talk to the same people for the 20th time or kill the 10000th
mafia mob.

But overall, the good things make up for the repeating in the game. Try it, it's worth it.

This was the first game I played on the Playstation 3, and I have to admit, I liked it. Do not play it if you are not interested in building a career on it. This is what makes it fun to me.

Replica of the PS2 version!

Before I start the review, I would like to strongly emphasize that I ONLY gave this game 3 stars because it is an exact replica of the PS2 game, which I enjoyed immensly and finished back when it was first released for the PS2. I would give the original game 4.5 stars easy. But because I enjoyed it so much, left the PS2 game in a different country, and paid half the retail price for this one, I am not furious, but disappointed indeed. And this is why I gave it 3 stars.
The developers, needless to say as prominent as EA games, invested almost no time or effort into upgrading the game. Graphics wise, it is almost identical. I expected some sort of improvement to suit the PS3, both for the cut scenes, which are alot, and for the gaming experience itself. In that respect, I felt I was playing the same exact PS2 game. The storyline is identical, borrowing the plot from the first movie while the protagonist (the main player we customize and play with) is the guy who does the jobs required for the Corleone family, until he reaches Don status and owns NY (then you're on your own, no movie plot anymore). I did not expect a change in plot, but I did expect additives GTA-style extra missions and diversions from the main tale. This, in a way, did not change. The weapons, cars, execution styles, scenery, landscape, were not altered at all (except for rain, which ok, adds some element). And like I said, remain on almost the same graphical level from the PS2 version of the game. Also, the loading time for scenes and such remain unnecessary high. Comes to show you that the game was not entirely modified for the PS3, to at least attempt to harness its powers. I have played other games that are more graphically-intensive that rendered alot faster loading speeds.
There were however, a few twists added. Firstly, the missions are more diverted. Now, besides having the hit missions (where you whack someone for a price), you have favor missions as well, where you go do favors for family members. Not impressed really, because most missions, more or less, follow the same patterns, but ok, a nice addition. There are also playing style changes. This is really the one change in the game I liked. The one I enjoy the most is the crew hiring option, where you can hire members of the family (below or equal you in rank that is) to tag along wherever you go (not in the main plot though of course) to assist you in extorting and fighting other family members and the cops. There is also another option, where you can call onto 4 members at the same time to do the same thing. When fighting warehouses and such (alot of other family members in one place), it gets pretty intense. That is an excellent idea. However, other than that, most other additions, supposedly adding flavor to the game are not THAT great. For instance, instead of just flirting with hookers in brothels, some of them can give you tips (gossips as they call it), that you then act upon and use for your advantage. For example, a police chief could be photographed with hookers, she comes and tells you where you can locate the photographer, you go buy his photos, and blackmail the chief. Nice, but definitely not a reason to play the whole game again (another reviewer focuses on the new additions, so no sense of repeating them again, you get the point).
If you have already played the first version of the Godfather, honestly, you don't need to buy this, unless you think it's one of the best games you have ever played. But if you never have, and love GTA-style games, this should be an instant buy for you. Yes it does get repetitive; you're really doing the same exact thing over and over again, with minor to no difference. But what game isn't, especially in this genre?
Hope this helps.
