I remember playing this game with my cousins and we wanted to make the most stereotypical mafia mob we could think of. We ended up making my cousin Andrea (one of us) with moustache: we were crying laughing. The game is fan, the story is great (it's the Godfather after all) and I'm sentimentally attached to it. I want this game in my collection and keep it forever. So, one day, I could meet my cousins, start this game and make the same character just older and laugh like we did that day
I've been looking for this game for years. I would really like it to be somewhere to buy, I really liked this game as a child. I played on Playstation 2, finished about 10 times and still played The Godfather 2 which I thought was kind of bad.
An amazing game, i had this on Xbox then again on either PS3 or Xbox 360, i forget which and the next gen version blew my mind more as during fist fights, if you got hit, your character would gain facial bruising. This would then take several in game days to heal and i thought it was a nice touch.

Look, I know this could be impossible due to copyrights and stuff, but this game desperately needs to be rescued. Even if folks need to strip everything related to The Godfather IP. It's just so good to play and all its mechanics work very well.

I actually first played this game on the Wii! This game and its sequel were developed by EA Redwood Shores, who eventually changed their name to Visceral Games -- AKA, the studio that gave us the Dead Space series. For a time, they were responsible for some fantastic entries in the movie tie-in genre, such as it was, giving us The Godfather I and II, as well as the beloved The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. The Godfather, like a lot of these games on the Dreamlist, was not necessarily the top of the mountain as far as mafia games go. It was, however, a very strong attempt to create a parallel narrative to the film, with you taking on the role of a recruit in the Corelone family. Several of the original voice actors reprise their roles, and even Marlon Brando himself recorded lines for what would be his final role. (Unfortunately, due to his failing health, Brando's lines were deemed unusable and replaced.) And the story, from what I can remember, is very good, especially if you're a fan of the films. I would say that The Godfather is to the Mafia series what Saints Row was to the GTA series. It's a very creative alternative, but lacking the overall strength of its competitor. A comfortable 2nd place, but that didn't make it any less of a good game. It's from a unique time when we got some truly great movie tie-in games with a lot of work and heart put into them, most of which vanished with the next console generation. I'd love to get the chance to play it again. It's a Godfather game, complete with a beautiful open world, a great story, and some of the original actors. It may not have been Game of the Year material, but it didn't deserve to vanish.

The great movie, the great game adaptation. Now you can play it only if you have a DVD. We need this game on a game platform like GOG! This game must survive! :)

This is the best mafia game. I played this game over and over as a kid. My parents didn’t allow gta games in the house so I had to find alternative games, luckily The godfather is their favorite movies of all time so this was an easy sell. One of the first games I ever 100% I had it on multiple consoles too. The dons edition wat the best!

Essentially what Ghostbusters: The Game done but with The Godfather franchise. You play as a rookie that's doing jobs for the Corleone family. Some would easily compare this to Mafia series. This was one of the best licensed GTA clones I ever played!!! There was a bit of realism with some great mechanics to balance things out. You never too well stacked in this game. Always expect things to go wrong you'll be fine. This also was the last video game to star the late Marlon Brando before he passed. A particular late in game cut scene he reprised the role of Don Corleone. I'm also aware there's a few versions of this game. Honestly if you guys can give us the most complete version it would be greatly appreciated. They also brought a lot of iconic moments from the original movie in as well. If you're a huge fan of The Godfather series. You're absolutely going to love this game. Parts of this reminds me of Saints Row series to a degree. Mostly in some aspects of the game play. I haven't played this in a long time. I previously had this on PS2 years ago, I do recalled beating the game. This is easily one of the best games of it's style.

This game is actually what introduced me to the Godfather. It’s rough in certain places, but the story is quite faithful to the themes of the movie and the open-world gameplay is really fun. I loved going around, finding collectibles and taking over different businesses controlled by the rival crime families. It’s an underrated gem released in a time when movie licensed games were almost universally lazy, poorly-made slop. It should be available digitally so that more people can enjoy it and appreciate what it was trying to do.

Fatal Frame
Fatal FrameFatal Frame is the first game of the Fatal Frame series, introducing the franchise's unique premise of fighting ghosts with a special camera. Fatal Frame was the first to introduce the innovative use of an old-style camera as the primary weapon. In addition to navigating the main characters around the mansion grounds, players are able to enter Viewfinder Mode, where the camera is raised and the view changes to that of the camera's frame. In viewfinder mode the player is able to snap photographs of ghosts, both violent and benign, which is the main method of progressing through the game. Items are also available, some being consumable and most being key items needed to unlock doors, complete tasks or solve puzzles. Puzzles are encountered frequently in the game, some being based on the same concept but becoming progressively more difficult. The varying difficulty settings of the game (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, or Fatal (Xbox only)) determine the amount of consumable items scattered throughout the mansion and how formidable the enemies are. The main horror aspect of the game is, undoubtedly, the ghosts. The mechanics programmed for the ghosts allow them to float ethereally through the air, walls and floors, and even teleport, allowing them many ways to attack the player. The ghosts' appearances are usually inspired by their deaths or by Japanese stigmas of horror, which, some argue, are particularily chilling. The game, depending on which console it is played on, offers two endings. Upon completion of the game, a ranking is given based on total time taken, points accumulated and other categories. The player is also given rewards and unlockables, such as alternate costumes and camera functions, depending on what difficulty was beaten, how much of the Ghost List was completed and other criteria. Beating the game also unlocks Battle Mode, where the player is faced with fighting specific ghosts, and is rewarded with points towards purchasing unlockables. An option is also given where the game can be replayed with all equipment, upgrades and unlockables carried over.

Gex: Enter the Gecko
Gex: Enter the Gecko"Is it just me, or am I engulfed in flames?" is one of the many one-liners uttered by Gex, a wise cracking gecko who should check himself into television rehab; he's addicted to it. After saving the Television Realm from the evil Rez in his first adventure, the gecko was ready to kick back, relax, and watch a little television. Little did he know his adventure was just beginning. One day, two secret agent goons showed up at Gex's doorstep. They inform him that Rez is back and looking for vengeance; the evil monster is planning to destroy the Television Realm once more...and possibly the world. When Gex tells them that he's retired and doesn't care, one of the goons hits the gecko on the head and takes him to a secluded place. When Gex comes to, the mystery men plead with the gecko to take the cash and help destroy Rez for good...or at least make him disappear. With that incentive (the cash), the wise cracking lizard slips into his special agent suit and plunges headfirst into the Television Realm. Watch out, Rez -- Gex is back!

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
