The best aspect of the game is definitely the ability to take businesses from the rival families. Though many players will thrill at the chance to play through the movie plot line, the greatest amount of content is outside this path. On top off all that is a slight RPG element, stats to be upgraded and respect to be earned, to manage. This work involves driving all over a recreation of New York City, circa 1950, and taking over businesses, killing people, taking down rival families, killing people, hitting on hookers, and killing people. To become Don takes a lot of work though, and it is definitely not a business for the squeamish. Though the game follows the movie story it does not end at the same place because with enough work it is possible for the player to become the Don of the Corleone family. This new thing turns out to be taking control of a young mobster and leading him up the Corleone family ladder. This would be because EA had to stay true to the source material but still find something new and engaging for the player to experience. Surely the hardest part of creating The Godfather: The Game was developing the plot. Thankfully the game turns out to be one of the better conversions, but does not escape its fair share of issues. Often movie-to-game conversions have turned out to be pretty poor however, EA decided to convert one of the most beloved movies of all time, The Godfather, into a game. Required: Watch the movie to fully appreciate the great recreations within the game Good: Music, voice acting, mission diversity, Marlon Brando
