The Godfather (the game)

Post by invisible Pole »

I rarely play computer games (and usually something very easy) but this one caught my attention.
Has anyone played this yet ?

I have to say this description :
"... offers gamers countless choices for solving the family’s problems with brutal violence, skillful diplomacy, or a cunning mixture of both. From mob hits and bank heists to drive-bys and extortion, step deep inside the world of The Godfather ..."
made me go :shock: :shock:

Rule No. 5.6 about gaming: All movie-based games are not good, even though critics often give them good ratings.

What? That's stupid. Critics often give them bad review. If they get a decent score they're as worthy of checking out as other high-rated games. However Coppola was not informed about the making of this game and was upset when he finally did found out. Sounds pretty low to me.

Yeah well, it sounds pretty crappy to me anyway. If you've seen the movie a billion times like me than it's not going to yield any new surprises.
