My husband liked this game a lot but he completed it in 5 days. It was a good game otherwise.

Fun but Short

Fun game, but WAY too short. I am not a great gamer yet I beat this game in two days.

Educational game teaches kids value of respect, head trauma

This game appeared quietly, despite being adapted from such a highly-acclaimed show...and after the four or five hours it will take you to finish the whole thing, you'll know why. This is not targeted to gamers as much as fans of the show as another novel bit of Sopranos merchandise. Given the source material, it's a waste of a good opportunity.

Where's the rest of the game? I have to applaud all involved for taking most of the main actors, their likenesses and voices, as well as real interiors (The Bada Bing, Satriale's, etc) and convincingly digitizing them. Even the script fits into the continuity of the series and is more or less consistent with the show. They laid the grounds for a fun, if irresponsible and absurd game...then they forgot the rest of the game.

You play the illegitimate child of (the late) Sal 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero, which means Vincent Pastore appears in the game, continuing to milk his short tenure on the show. You're a bum, basically, until Tony Soprano gives you a chance in his organization. Now you do errands for the Soprano family, interacting with the main characters on the show (Tony, Silvio, Paulie Walnuts, Christopher, the not-yet-dead Vito, etc). The favors and missions all involve...beating people. That's pretty much the whole game, the same mission of beating people to death. This is not GTA Sopranos-style, or even a sad shadow of EA's far, far superior The Godfather. You just click through the cut scenes, and then beat a few people to death...in an alley, in a club, in a hospital, etc. There is no driving at all. The gun play is rare and poor (weapons, aiming, the whole bit). Besides, shooting people is dangerous as it brings heat. Better to beat people to death. A lot of people. There's the nice feature of being able to pick up random objects to beat people with (chairs, crutches, bats, bottles, even a vacuum cleaner, if I recall). And the beatings can be separated into two categories. On the one hand, you have wiseguys and punks that you run across in the Soprano family business. On the other hand are bystanders and wisemouths who make the unfortunate error of challenging your manliness (and ethnicity).

It gets comical, because you're reduced to just clicking through the story to move it along, with no challenge from the gameplay. There are a lot of cut scenes with story and dialogue as you help young AJ throw a rave, and help Tony as he battles an old-school Philly mobster who doesn't respect the fat man. Blah blah blah. It's a few hours of fun for fans of the show, but the difficulty level is a joke. And yes, the game ends with you whacking out said Philly mobster.

Not recommended for purchase unless you want to hawk it on eBay after, the game can be finished in a day. Real nice game for the kids, too. The young 'uns can learn the proper way shake people down and beat their heads to a pulp.

Another 40 bucks down the drain...

When I bought this game, like most other people, I expected a free-roam, mission-based, "Godfather" or "GTA" style game. Unfortunately, six hours after peeling back the cellophane, I was left feeling unsatisfied. It felt rushed, like the game designers just got bored with the project. But that's the problem with buying before renting.

We enjoyed this game very much as we are Sopranos fans. The graphics are great and the story line is fantastic.

Not bad at all..I was actually suprised. It is a pretty simple game to play..not too easy...yet not too hard either. Its nothing major like GTA, but it is def. a good game. I recomend renting first, and if you like it then buy it.

HUGE SOPRANO FAN!

Game starts off great. The sound and the graphics look great but it's a total flop. How can they even pawn this off for $40 when GTA, Scarface, and Godfather actually are semi-difficult to complete? All-in-all, this is 1/3 of what a complete game should be.

Inexcusably bad

I was looking forward to playing this game for some time when I first heard it was coming out. I bought the Godfather for my PSP in the meantime. Generally, I expect PSP games to have less depth and shorter playing time than a PS2 game. But in comparing these two games, the Godfather for PSP blows it away. The story had more depth. The lead character had more depth. And the gameplay was much, much better. I found the Sopranos game interesting for the first hour or two of play as I loved the ability to interact with the characters in the Sopranos. Even as simple as the game was, I was enjoying it. But then it ended... and nothing had happened. I fought a bunch of guys by hitting the same buttons each time. I thought I was maybe a quarter of the way through the story... and it was over. One word... PATHETIC! THQ should be ashamed to have put this out with their name on it.

This is disappointing, but it sucks

Regardless what other reviewers say about having the time to play a lengthy game, when you PAY FULL PRICE, you want more than an hour of walking through boring, pre-mapped scenarios that are almost impossible to lose. It's like paying for a really expensive dinner, and only getting the salad. It was finished just as quickly as it began. Once I was already getting 'made', I thought... "Hmm, punching people for 10 minutes gets you into the mob? Good to know." I think they rushed it. It needed at least 50% more gameplay to even be worth the $30. Thumbs way way down.
