Title: Godfather: the game... Post by: phoenix1967 on March 01, 2006, 05:35:23 AM Apparantly, this game has been in the works for some time and is ready to come out in March. It's been keeping a low profile. Rumor has it that due to the licensing costs, it may have a limited production run.
The game itself looks good from what I've seen on gametrailers.com. It looks very GTA-like, but allows for more customization. Title: Re: Godfather: the game...

"I want you to shove your fingers up my..." No, Apocalypse now. Anyways, didn't the director of the movie complain about the game? Something it being nothing but a dumb, violent shooter. Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: phoenix1967 on March 01, 2006, 09:42:48 AM I don't know about where the complaints came from, but now it's considered Action-Adventure. From trailers that I saw it had elements of beat-em-up as well as gunfire. Looks like a GTA-style game.

I have been seeing alot of it but thats because i get way to many newsleters :) Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: Tynstar on March 01, 2006, 10:39:17 AM Quote No, Apocalypse now. Anyways, didn't the director of the movie complain about the game? Something it being nothing but a dumb, violent shooter. Yeah I remember hearing something about that. He wanted to make sure his name wasnt on it anywhere I think. Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: phoenix1967 on March 13, 2006, 08:05:19 AM Started to see commercials on this one on ESPN over the weekend. Unfortunately, the commercial didn't reveal much more than what was already seen on gametrailers.com.
Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: Izret101 on March 13, 2006, 08:10:56 AM Anyword yet on exactly what this supposed to be coming out on?
I saw/heard rumors of Xbox nomal and Limited Edition Version PS2 normal and Limited Edition version PSP only listed in one place PC Xbox 360 (don't remember for sure on this one) Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on March 13, 2006, 10:23:59 AM I was really hyped about this game because for awhile my life revolved around watching the Godfather Trilogy (who could've guessed?) but now I don't really give a rat's mule. It'll probably just be another mediocre GTA clone and I really would rather just play the next GTA.

Yea, I recall hearing this also. The previews in the magazines for this game seem pretty cool. Sit down and read some previews my friends! Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: tholly on March 16, 2006, 07:04:10 AM i love all things mafia, so when this hits for the 360 i am def. going to have to pick it up.....
Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: Sensei_Fu on March 21, 2006, 10:57:07 AM I'm interested in trying this too as I have read The Godfather many times. It's one of my favorite novels.
Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on March 21, 2006, 11:14:07 AM It is a good book, I've read it a bunch of times. My fondest memories of it come from listening to the audio version while playing Rainbow Six. Ahhhhh.
Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on March 22, 2006, 02:22:46 PM Oh man it was damn near impossible not buying this game today. I only didn't because some ladfy was trying to find out what an X-box 360 was and I didn't feel like waiting three hours for the clerk to explain.
Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: Sensei_Fu on March 23, 2006, 10:10:55 AM I'm playing it for XBOX right now and I'm actually surprised Tommy Vercetti's father isn't a character in this game.
However, I'm not bitching as I really loved Vice City. So far it seems like a very competent GTA Clone. Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: Sensei_Fu on March 24, 2006, 03:16:30 AM I've been home sick from work for the past few days so I've spent quite a bit of time playing this. For the most part, I like it. It clearly "borrows" a ton of stuff from GTA tho it controls differently using the thumbsticks in fights.
I've also noticed that building interior structures tend to repeat. Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: Sensei_Fu on April 05, 2006, 04:19:59 AM I beat this game. I'm now the Don of NYC. |D
Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: phoenix1967 on April 05, 2006, 08:01:47 AM A couple of questions: 1. how many hours did it take? 2. Can you keep playing the game after becoming don or does it just end?
Title: Re: Godfather: the game... Post by: Joker_T on April 07, 2006, 03:49:37 PM Looks fun, but I'll wait to find it used.
