Games based on movies just remind me how far games still have to go before they have dialogue, acting, or writing even remotely similar to a good movie. This sounds like another game to get an achievement or two on before moving to something else. |

FIRST GODFATHER GAME WAS A GOOD TIME
The first Godfather game was the same way. You did your own side quests and occasionally had missions that intertwined with the story of the original film.
For example in one mission you have to store the pistol Michael uses to kill McCluskey and Sollozzo in the restaurant's bathroom.
From what I remember, Coppola disproves of the Godfather games because he feels his films speak against violence, while the games glorify it. |

The Vito flashback scenes are the ONLY good scenes in The Godfather: Part II (which is one of the most over rated films of all time). Without them, there's nothing, so I don't mind that they're adding their own side story. I wont be playing the game anyway. |

PACINO
Pacino's likeness isn't in either of the games because he already licensed it to the scrface game, for all we know he could be a huge fan...
though from the sounds of the blasphemy they're commiting, i doubt it |

I'M BUYIN' IT...
The (first) Godfather game didn't have Pacino's likeness, nor that of most of the first movie's cast but it still tasted pretty damn good. And although most of the game featured repetitive backgrounds, vehicles and missions, the flavor and the (early) cut scenes were enough to satiate this xbox gangster-film geek.I'll buy Godfather 2: the game... and when I miss Pacino, I'll either watch and/or play Scaface on my Xbox! |

Of the first GODFATHER video game that was released by Electronic Arts in 2006, director Francis Ford Coppola said, "I had absolutely nothing to do with the game and I disapprove." That didn't stop fans from snatching up the game with worldwide sales of over four million units and it's not stopping EA from developing a sequel based on THE GODFATHER PART II. Most of the actors from the film are providing likeness rights though you won't see any Al Pacino or Robert De Niro (Pacino refused to participate and editor's nixed De Niro's early Vito Corleone storyline). Most of the dialogue will come from cut pieces from the film thought Robert Duvall will record new dialogue as Tom Hagen (who will likely coach the new member of the Corleone crime family that you will control). If you're expecting a literal translation from screen to Xbox, you'll be disappointed. EA says that the flashbacks weren't working for the game so they've created their own story to weave in between "major touchpoints" from the film. You're taking one of the greatest movies of all time and rewriting it? No wonder Coppola's pissed. EA's "Godfather II" is expected to hit stores next February.
