 Great Game EA.. March 25, 2008
theres not too much bad i can say about this game at all. the graphics on the box are excellent, the controls are flawless and New York in the timeframe of the 50's is captured Beautifully. the Gun Fights are particularly realistic due to the fact that you cant take 10 shots and still live...1 shot from a shotgon and 90% of your life is gone...so youv really got to be smart when going into a gunfight with multiple enemies...because if not, you WILL be killed every single time. the 5 areas that they give you to explore are satisfying, and extorting the shops in all 5 areas will keep you Busy for a VERRYYY long time. that in and of itself could have been the games main focus. overall, if you were interested in Godfather or just like a decent exploration game with shooting action...or if you collect xbox games like me..you NEED to pick this up...you wont be dissapointed. this is right up there with any GTA title you can name, in alot of ways, even better...excellent job E.A...

 A Microcosm of EA February 25, 2008
Two thing stand out about this game:
1) The remarkable degree to which it was lifted from the GTA franchise
2) How inferior it is to said franchise
Really, it comes down to the difference between EA and Rockstar Games. Rockstar very rarely puts anything less than A effort into their games. Consequently, A ideas become A games and even F ideas become C games. EA puts C effort into most of their games, so even a great idea like this one becomes a B or C game. Not BAD certainly, but far from great.
Some of the flaws of the game are forgivable because they are flawws of the genre: narrative in video games is still in its infancy (in my mind, television is just now coming into its own as a narrative medium and it has been at it a lot longer than video games and is closer to more developed mediums like movies and books). A lot of the flaws, though, are simply problems of too little effort having been put into the game.
I don't BLAME EA for this per se. It is established that people will buy their games even if they put C effort into them. I don't see what motivation they have to put A effort in any more than they do. HAving said that, I didn't notice until I got the game home that it was from EA. Had a noticed that, I wouldn't have bought the games. I'll be more careful in the future.
Amazing August 19, 2007
This game is pretty much GTA but with a much larger story line and one that actually makes sense. The only downside is the small choice of weapons. It is one of the most open ended games i have ever played. You can either play the story, or you can just run around and rob banks or scare businesses owners into sharing their profits with the family. One of the best features is the ability to hire assistants to help you out. It is very enjoyable to attack your rival families compounds and warehouses with your own private army. This is a must own for the 360.
There's so much to do that when you beat it, there's still stuff to do... July 31, 2007
This game took me all summer to beat. I'm a teacher and I sepnt my entire summer playing this game, I finally beat it at the end of July and when I became Don of NYC there was still stuff to do. This game was weill worth the money because there's always stuff to do!
welcome to the family January 11, 2007
I am amazed with the graphics and game play, the fact that the game plays off of the movie is my faovirte part to me. the gameplay is similar to grand theft auto but on a much higher and better scale. taking over warehouses and stores to build your status up is so much fun. I would recommend this game to anyone above 16, you can start the gameplay and not have to worry about the missions if you dont want to. there is so much to keep you occupied through out the borrows of ny and jersey you end up finding new and exciting missions everytime you play.
