Topic: The godfather game 2

PJ24 · March 26th, 2006

I'm going to be able to play a little this week, I'll let you guys know what I think. Since I'm TDY, not sure how much time I'll get with it, but will give some intial impressions at least.

Edit: First impressions:

Great character customization, from hair to tweaking facial features (down to the eye shape, jaw size, chin, all very deep).

The story line is following the movie thus far.

Controls are good, it's got auto aim and a free aim option. Depending on where you hit the guy dictates his reaction. Shot to the head, he goes away. Shoot him in the knee caps, he falls down, cries for a bit and gets back up.

The driving sucks, it's sort of like they threw it in there just "because." Physics aren't horrible, but again, there's not much to it. You drive from point A to point B, then back to point A. Sometimes you drive while cops or bad guys are chasing you and shooting at you. You can't really get away, so you just put up with them slamming into you for the whole trip.

Like with GTA, you can buy hideouts all over the city (these are where you save your games).

Graphics look great, the Don, Sonny, Tom Hagen, Michael and all of the other loveable Godfather characters are spot on, they even got some of the original guys to do the voices.

I give the story (so far) an A+ I mean, it IS the Godfather.

Overall gameplay, I give it a B. The driving really does take a lot out of it. And it's a little more linear than they claimed, but not too bad.

*The different styles of executing people rocks*
