This game sets itself exactly in the movies timeline, falling the movements of the Godfather and his family. You play a young gangster type saved by the godfather and his men in an alley brawl. After some of the Godfathers right hand men take pity on you they take you with them for 'Mob style' training. It then is your duty to become one of the mob types that inhabit the city and try to run all businesses from the other mobsters and the police.
Your goal is to play the missions given which set themselves around the movie storyline, however as the game progresses you find yourself being able to extort all manners of business such as barbers to bakers for all the money they have and time based payments from then on! There are a wide range of cars that can be stolen from old beaten trucks to the more sport/luxury types that can be found throughout a rather nicely sized game map.
The 1930/40's setting makes it all the more tasty as you get a feel that your bringing 'New School' mayhem to a more civilised time. (at least by today’s standards!)
There are other great gameplay elements such as robbing banks (if you succeed out running the police!) and buying guns from back alley merchants who for some seem to be more out in the public 'not very' inconspicuous types.
Although the actual gameplay and control of the character is a little unsmooth and unbearable at times you'll find yourself impressed in what is a great game for godfather fans and anyone else who
loves the 'Sanbox' type gameplay element!
'The Godfather' will 'Make you an offer you just can’t refuse!'
