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.
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!
Worst game I ever played. By far! The physics of the cars were a shame. The main action was punching people till they died or gave in. The shootings with auto aim were a disgrace. Unworthy to the franchise. If "Mafia" got 100 points then "Godfather" gets 0.
Don't buy!
Just my opinion.
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.
Banjo-KazooieA bear named Banjo needs the help of his loyal friend Kazooie, a red feathered bird, to rescue his sister Tooty from a witch named Gruntilda.
Gruntilda has created a machine that transfers one person's level of beauty to another, and plans to use it on Tooty, so she can steal her youthful good looks.
Tooty is hidden within Gruntilda's lair, a strange collection of rooms that contain portals to mysterious environments, where new landscapes, new friends, and new foes are encountered.
The layer contains magical doors that seal off certain rooms, stopping Banjo and Kazooie from finding Tooty.
In order to open these doors, Banjo and Kazooie need to collect mysterious objects called notes, which exist within the mysterious environments.
Collecting enough of these notes will give them the power to open the magical doors.
In order to open a portal to a new environment, a jigsaw containing a picture of the environment has to be finished.
Golden Jigsaw pieces are located within previously visited worlds, and can fit any unfinished jigsaw.

Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008.
The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox

Final Fantasy VIIIFinal Fantasy VIII is the eighth main installment in the Final Fantasy series. The gameplay makes a departure from many series standards. While it still uses the Active Time Battle system, it deviates from the series' traditional means of boosting a character's power via leveling, although levels are not completely abandoned as they were in Final Fantasy II. In addition, it does not have a Magic Point-based system for spell-casting. Instead, magic is collected, drawn, and created from items, and is used to power up the characters via the junction system.Open world Fantasy Science fiction
