Why would you review a game based on your copy's defective status?

If a store says you can't return a game if it's opened, why would you buy from them? DUH.
(also, why don't you read the little print, most stores say that you can't exchange a product for a different one if opened. You can usually exchange it for the same thing if you can prove its broken/defective).

And game reviews are for reviewing games based on how they play, not for unprobable defectives.

Also, why would you negatively review this game on Amazon's website. Unless BFX is your abbreviation for Amazon, you should review it on their website instead.
Amazon sends replacements before people send their defectives back and you get them within a couple days. You should've bought from them.

My friend just bought this game and he had a bunch of us over for a sleepover. This game is very fun, you can do so many different things. I would say that it's way better than the GTAs but it wouldn't be a fair statement since this game is still 'new and fun' to us. I bet the old looking setting will get old quick but can't tell yet.
So, in short, this game is very fun for kid sleepovers.

You know I would give this game a good review, if I could..you know... PLAY IT! This game is the worst when it comes to loading, or maybe I have a defective game. Before any of you losers comment that maybe my PS2 is crap. I have tried this game on 4 different PS2's so it's not just mines. This game I feel is defective.

I can't take it back because BX policy states "any opened video game and/or system can not be returned/refunded" SO basically I'm screwed. I wouldn't sell the game to anyone because I would feel bad. So I have a game that I can't play.

Let's compare: I have Socom 3, and the disc looks like it was buffed with sandpaper, and it PLAYS. I couldn't even get past the Paramount thing in the beginning with the stars going over the mountain... Yes its THAT bad.

Hope you don't get a defective game.

The game is better then the movies

Before Marlon Brando died (which I'm glad he did) recorded all of his dialogues to reprise his character, Don Corleone.

While some actors from the film have reprise their so call famous roles for the video game adaptation, Al Pacino flat out refused to reprise his famous Michael Character (which I don't blame him). Poor Paramount cannot use his voice or likeness for the game. Paramount does own the rights to Godfather story and charcters, they have announced that the Michael Corleone (actor) will appear in the game, just with different looks and a seperate voice acting.

I love this game like I love intimidating hot women.

Good combination of GTA and Mafia. The bad part is that if you like the movie they replay some of the scenes from the movie incorrectly. Michael Corleone is in it but they DIDN'T use Al Pacino's likeness. We're talking B quality production of the movie, like Spider-man 2 almost. The scenes are only losely based on the movie. Remember the scene where they shot that guy in the car in the back of the head without him ever suspecting anything while Clemenza takes a leak? In the game that guy runs out of the car and you have to chase him down. That's how bad some of the scenes are.

If you're a fan of the movie all this is a little hard to swallow. It's a shame because the gameplay is actually very good and it's a very entertaining game that could of been awesome.

I'm sure experienced gamers can make all sorts of comparisons to the "Grand Theft Auto" games, but I've never played any of those for the simple reason I've never wanted to be a gangbanger. On the other hand, I have wanted to be part of the Corleone family, which is why I bought "The Godfather--The Game" the first weekend it was out.

The game is pretty easy to learn and there is the mandatory easy tutorial level where you figure out all the controls. From there you can either play the missions or get right to taking over rackets among the five neighborhoods or perform some contract hits.

The missions are primarily lifted from the movie, including helping a Family man cut off the movie producer's horse's head, planting the gun Michael uses to kill Serrannzo and the police chief, and whacking the heads of the other Families. There's also a story arc where your guy rises from an unknown through the ranks until he's Don of New York City. The missions are the most fun for just experiencing the movie.

The rackets, however, are the most fun in the game. Each neighborhood has a variety of businesses controlled by one of the five Families. Your job is to take over every racket for the Corleones by extorting the shopkeepers. "Negotiations" involve breaking furniture, intimidating the shop owner with your weapon, or just pummeling him/her until he/she caves in. There are guards scattered around each racket that you have to dispatch first. Where/when/how you take the rackets can involve clever strategems or sheer brute force. The warehouses/transport hubs of the other Families are the hardest rackets to take over and can take a number of tries.

The contract hits are good to pick up a little extra cash and respect points that are used to upgrade your skills. You get bonus points for creatively assassinating someone like bludgeoning him with a baseball bat, burning him up with a Moltov, or tossing him in a cremating oven.

Overall I found this game to be highly addictive once I got playing. But after a while some of the fun began to wear off. Once you've explored a neighborhood or two, you notice that just about everything is the same throughout the game. You even start to know instinctively where the guards are going to be. And after you've done all the missions, hits, and rackets there's nothing left to do. All you can do is cruise around New York robbing banks or randomly killing civilians. The fun of that wears off quickly.

The worst part about the game is the targeting system. The targeting system is too bulky and too slow to respond to new threats. Many times I screamed at the game, "I want to shoot the guy who's shooting ME, not that guy over there!" There's also no radar system or anything, so it can be tough sometimes to find where someone is shooting at you from, especially on a busy street. And of course it's easy for bad guys to get the drop on you in the middle of a fight. Realistic? Yes. Frustrating? Definitely.

[Also, as an aside, the "cheat" codes are a joke. I've yet to find an invincibility code or a code to give you a lot of money or all the weapons. The ones I have found only give you $5000 or full health once in a great while. I don't use cheat codes on the first run through, but later on I like to use them for when I just want unchecked mayhem.]

Other than those points, the game is a lot of fun and worth the money, especially if you are a fan of the movie. This is the closest you can get to being a part of the Family. To make the obligatory reference: this is an offer you can't refuse.

BEST MAFIA MOVIE/GAME SINCE SCARFACE

this game is absolutly amazing. A+++++ etc. You can do w/e you want with a full arsenal of deadly weapons. There are black market dealers all around town selling anywhere from Tommy Guns to the amazing Saturday Night Special Revolver. You can get a Hit Contract and take out somebody undercover to receive tons of money in order to buy safehouses, guns, bribe cops... ANYTHING! This is right up in the 10/10 region with GTA San Andreas. Great Price... Great Buy

This game is very Fun but has some flaws. First it's way way too easy to get killed in a gun fight because the targeting system isn't reliable and you cannot draw a gun fast enough to take on a group of enemys. Second is once you are Don, you have nothing to do and gotta start over. But otherwise if you like roughing up non-paying citizens and love power it is your kinda game.

This game is horrible!

Can you say repetitive? The game starts out fun. Admittedly I had a great time extorting businesses for money and raiding the factories of rival families. Then I came to the realization that the level design is absolutely the same for every type of building. When taking over a factory by force you can expect the same enemy pattern every single time. On the bright side the graphics aren't bad. With exception to the cars the game controls great. The cars are way too slow and steering is cumbersome. Rent this one. You'll enjoy the first few hours then come to your senses and realize that EA is simply trying to capitalize on the popularity of the Godfather license.
