Want to be the Don?
If you love the Godfather and any other ace gangsta films you will love this game. Take down rival gangs, extort, blackmail, bomb and kill, all the things we can't get away with in the real world.

Read this review or you sleep with the fishes!
Bought this game a few weeks ago and so far i'm really enjoying it. As a fan of the GTA games, i thought this would be right up my street and i was right. It's basically GTA set in 1950's New York with a few different ways of doing things but the basic elements are still there. Beating people up is a bit more involved than GTA as you have to use the right analogue stick. You can also use the Sixaxis motion control to slam people up against walls and bash their heads on tables etc. It is pretty violent so not for the weak-hearted!
On the downside, unlike GTA you have to get each individual weapon you want to buy from a different backstreet seller. These are dotted all over the city and belive me when i say New York is MASSIVE (in the game, i know its big in real life). This is a cool thing on one hand because it means the game is longer, but if you want a Tommy gun for instance you might hae to drive all the way over the other side of the city to get it which means it can get a little tedious. Also, don't expect the graphics to be great as its kind of ported from the PS2. Don't let this put you off however as the game play is still superb. If you're a big GTA fan and are waiting for GTA4 to come out then i'd get this to tide you over. Great game and loads of fun.

Respect the Don
I was a bit shocked at the violence at the start - first time I played it I beat someone to death during the tutorial. I suppose the Mafia aren't known for the gentle approach though.

Just started playing it a few hours ago and completed a few missions. Think it will be excellent fun for a long time - until GTA V comes out that is, then I'm switching my free time over to that.

Very reminicent of GTA3 - car theft isn't as 'smooth' a transaction as it was on GTA 2 3 or 4 but a different experience.

I am going home to do dish out some more beatings to some punks. The sound fx are superb on this.

I am marking the game down to 4 start, since I was playing Assassins Creed for a while before I bought Godfather - the graphics are no contest to Assassins Creed, but Dons Edition is still a cracking game.

Show it some respect or I'll send Paulie round to dust you!
