I don't know English, but everything was cool. When I was a kid, this game was so special. I was so into it that I ended up watching the ending every day. The opening briefing is wonderful because it feels like it's carrying out a great mission. In the ending, the line "Let's go home" couldn't be so cool. Why isn't there a game like this anymore? Nostelgia. Please bring this game to gog.
The PC version of the game has a great soundtrack by Rick Ede. The pulsing rhythm is perfect set to the frames of the game. The sound effects are well embedded into the soundtrack that it feels like part of the music. The voices are well chosen. The ship control is a bit intransparent in a few parts of the game. Its like a one-hour-action-show. In a PC magazine they wrote the developers build the levels using LEGO stones before they build it in 3D.
I first played the 3DO version. I love the two soundtracks a lot. This one has a very cool soundtrack with epic moments near the end. The End is so, so epic. Better than the 3DO. There is some differences in the last levels, but the game is almost the same. The weapons upgrade system is good (Much better than the 3DO) and the female computer voice is a charm.
The Opening scene is very complete explaining the situation. But not as pompous as in the 3DO.
The Eclipse scene is really epic in the second planet :D
The last levens in the Scarab-X station are thrilling with stages with avoiding obstacles during furious guitar solos or Space Odyssey graphics with hypnotic music. Rik Ede did a great job here.
Very very recommended for sci-fi fans.
probably one of the first titles i had on the original PlayStation. always enjoyed playing it as a kid and would love to play it again. back then i thought it had the coolest graphics, it was absolutely amazing even today still looks super cool. the soundtrack was awesome too.

The Godfather: Blackhand EditionThe Godfather: Blackhand Edition, is the highest rated version of The Godfather on Gamerankings and IGN, despite not faring as well with other publications. It features 20 normal missions, ten new hit missions, a new rival family seen only in the new hit missions, rooftop battles, new favors, and other methods such as blackmail and bribery.
The Blackhand Edition adds a second path that the player may take through the game, that of the operator. The main method of progression is by blackmailing police, the FBI or members of other families, and what the player does or says affects the outcome. While the enforcer's goal is to destroy the other families through brute force, the operator's is to blackmail the police chiefs of the five boroughs by finding enough "dirt" on them during missions. The player then blackmails the chiefs, enabling the bribe gauge to fill to the top for free every time the player talks to the chief, effectively allowing the player to take control of the police in that area. The police fight alongside the player's family members and can also arrest or kill rival family members. The path of the operator also grants the player additional tactical abilities that are not open to the enforcer, such as enhanced and regenerating health, the ability to call in the four-man hit squad twice as often, enhanced crew damages and health, ability to plant car bombs and make instant stealth kills, and reduced price on bribing on the police and FBI.Open world Action
