A lot better than the original game

This game takes The Godfather to a new level. The graphics are in a sense better than the original not to mention different "weather conditions". This game is packed with many different extras including the "hit squad" that when charged and not on a mission can be activated calling four Corleone thugs to aide you in whatever it may be that you need them for (ie taking down rackets, warehouses, compounds). You can also hire a hitman to follow you around that has the same rank as you or less. Newer missions have been added to this game that give more of a back-story to the movie and also more footage from the movie (also, there are missions called favors which mainly boost respect). A couple new characters and vehicles come to light but not so much to go nuts over. Skill upgrades have been split into two categories, one known as Enforcer and the other called Operator. one boosts your more physical qualities while the other boosts you morale. The new SIXAXIS Wireless controller comes into play when handling some of the other family goons. Whether it's bashing someones face onto a counter, pushing them off a rooftop, or breaking their neck, it puts you into the game and gives you a feel like you are pulling off the moves (in a true gamers perspective anyways). A lot of the buildings have been redone so that when you go through some of the rackets it won't be like the original (you know the walk-in and "I know the layout of this place"). They have also changed the compounds up too. Overall, if you've played the original for PS2, you have got to get this. If you have never played The Godfather game, don't worry about the original because this is the one to have. I LOVE THIS GAME!

Awesome

First off, this game really brings the story of the Godfather to life, which makes acting out scenes from the movie(s) all the more fun. All of the new features for the PlayStation 3 version of the game make it far better than the old versions. Being able to call in a "hit squad" to aid you, do favors for people, and call on a driver to transport you from one safe house to another in just a few seconds are just a few of the changes that were made for the ps3 version. Whether you're extorting a business, buying out a racket, or blowing away another family, this game is fun to play and not boring in the least.
I have beaten the ps2 version of the Godfather and if this version ends in the same way then I would say that the replay value is moderate to low. I say that because in the ps2 version when you beat the game(100%) it's just over. All you can do now is start a new game, which means starting all over from the very beginning. Nothing carries over into your next play through. You have to [...] every business, every racket, re-take every transportation hub and so on and so forth all over again. I never bought the ps2 version for that very reason, but I am still playing the ps3 version and you should too. I haven't beaten this game yet, so I don't know if the endings are the same. Many changes were made to the ps3 version of the Godfather, but I don't know if the ending was one of them. It is a very long game and if you are a fan of the Godfather then this is a game you can't miss. There is so much to do in this game and it is so fun that you will be playing it all the time or you will be thinking about it, all the time.

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

Excellent game

Well I think overall this is a good game. Not five stars good though. You may first think five stars untill you realise your just doing the same thing over and over again.

Now you can customize your characters appearence and all that. From there you build your way up doing missions and such. You can earn more money by taking over other buisnesses. To do this you find a buisness owned by another family ( Bakery,Clubs, stuff like that ) then you must kill any of the family members around there that threaten your takeover and "persuade" the owner of the buisness to start paying your family. Whether it be just talking to him, breaking up his store, or beating him up. Or just simply rob a bank to get some $.
Now as you gain respect for doing missions and killing enemy familys you level up. You can level up skills like guns,health,ect. There are enough weapons in the game to keep you into it ( Really just a few but you can find people to upgrade them ) but all the cars just seem lame. They could definetly use more cars.
You can bribe cops and for a limmited ammount of time you can do what you want in that area as long as you don't kill cops. But if you don't you will get "heat" and the more heat you have the more cops will be after you. Police are tricky to outrun as they can catch up to you always and blast you with a shotty. They set up roadblocks of police cars making it difficult but fun to get through. Cars don't last very long when your at max heat though.
Soon as you get to a certain rank in the family you can call some of your members to assist you in battle ( when meter gets full ) and they will always be with you untill they all die. Extremely helpfull in later hard missions.

As I was saying though you come to realise after having fun that your just doing the same thing over. Taking over buisnesses blah blah blah. It does feel exciting when you get a great cop battle or enemy family battle near a bunch of your family members though. Later in the game its too easy though. The only way you die is if you get cought out in the open when multiple enemies shoot at you. Other then that the game is too easy.

Worth the buy? Umm id have to say yes it is, all games get boring eventually anyway.

I believe it has online play but havn't done that yet too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cool Game

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
