HEy man u cant ignore NFSMW frm EA one of the best EA releasess. Though Battle for middle earth is ok u cant critize EA their r many good releases like fifa 2006, Battle field 2 / Special forces , NFSMW, Also i think god father will rock....Since battle for middle 2 is frm
EA Los Angles. U cant completely blame whole of EA for tht

Darthvader · 22-03-2006, 01:34 PM

Well guys brace urself coz Godfather is officially released and ythe first couple of reviews are in

Here are the links
PAge 1 gamespot
page 2 gamespot

Well GAmespot gave it a 8.1 not bad at all
Their pros and cons were

Quote:

The Godfather is a great addendum to the film and a fun and lengthy game in its own right.
The Good: The game makes great use of the film license; plenty of challenging, multitiered missions to keep you busy; fun combat and interrogation system; you can explore a great-looking, expansive map of 1940s new york, with no load times; good music.
The Bad: Heavily recycled character and vehicle models, as well as building interiors; occasionally glitchy and stupid artificial intelligence; unstable frame rate.

Well as new revies come out from gamespy and ign we shall see.

moshel · 25-03-2006, 11:18 PM

I got the Godfather game, and theres a very bad and annoying bug in it. i was playing the first mission, i.e. i went through all the long vids and all. then i needed to go to the safe house to save the game(its the first mission in training) so i hijacked a car and went.....but very crazy that i could not get out of the car.....lol.......i tried and tried, and finally i gave up and exited without saving. bad exp. in the first mission itself.....how come ea released the game with such a dumb bug, and i checked on gamespot forums many ppl are facing this problem.

wizrulz · 25-03-2006, 11:24 PM

EA is always in hurry to release games...they always do that....and that leaves ea games prone to bugs in it ....then they will also release a patch soon

Hey, I don't have that bug! Instead, I am on now like third mission or so.....

By the way, how did you guys in India manage to get the full game so quickly????

P.S. I assume you got the pirated version, LOL.

Darthvader · 27-03-2006, 11:18 AM

Well I have been playing But the driving portion is woefully bland. Guess wat Mafia's was way way better

ctrl_alt_del · 27-03-2006, 11:48 AM

I have been looking forward to this game. Now is the time to get it then I guess.

@Darth: Driving is bland? ****! I was hoping for something like Mafia. Although the driving part wasn't as stellar as GTA series, yet the gameplay made up for it it more ways then one.

moshel · 27-03-2006, 10:11 PM

well first of all guys the thingy abt the problem that u cant get out of the car is the problem with the cracked version of the game. if u have the original then no problemo.

btw i think what darthvader meant was that driving is bad!.....i agree the driving sucksssssss big time, its totally arcadish as if ur driving a 3d dos based racing game one little touch and ur car moves to the next lane....lol

Darthvader · 27-03-2006, 10:27 PM

Yeah tough luk cody
Driving is absolutely generic
Hell to me there are only 6 or 7 variants of cars and they are of different colours.
The damage modelling is absolutely horrendous.
If u crash into a trash can it explodes::: go figure

Besides in Mafia there was a neat little option of storing cars
Here no avail and Moreover I think the Developers Meant them only to be as a means of getting from Point A to B.

The car chase sequences are arcrade style as moshel said.

However let me not put u off from getting the game.
The Extortion-hand to hand combat- taking over the business thing is really kewl man-----best thing its a bit diff .
However it does get repetitive as all the shops have absolutely same textures.
all bakery shops - the same textures etc....

However the story is pretty good and if u are a godfather movie fanatic then u will like it definitely,
But it definitely has a lot of shortcomings which EA could pretty easily fix up

But as i Said Before ( and i got rebukes everywher)
that nowadays EA is worried only about releasing games fast and making money.
Man Getting such a awesome license they brought out a game which really seems to be unfinished.
While some things are well implemened some truly are woeful.

I wish only Rockstar had the license then the game would be brilliant. Wat if Blizzard had it. Man watever game they make watever genre may it be it roxx- Thats one developer I truly respect Look At WOW .

Sigh I have still to wait for Mafia II
Oh wat happnd to ILLusion softworks
Komon yaar we want mafia II
komon guys lets make a petition for MAFia II

EA games r crap. If u like FIFA, u probably havent played PES 5,
Agreed battlefield 2 is good but pales in comparison wid COD and BIA
The only thing good abt EA is gr8 graphics but they have extremely poor gameplay.

moshel · 28-03-2006, 09:02 PM

man i love EA but the review i gave for godfather is totally neutral without taking into account my love for EA. i never miss playing any of EA game.

ok now abt the good things in the game. as darthvader said, hand-to-hand combat is interesting, u can even grab hold a person and interrogate him of threaten a shopkeeper to give protection money. there are hidden rackets doors to which open once u intimidate the shopkeeper and he gives in to u. which is nice
u can even loot a bank.................now thats cool

the background music and voiceover in all the whole audio is the best thing in this game.

did i mention how the graphics of this game suck bigtime! which is totally unexpected by ea.

well this new strategy of ea is not working, ea is always getting in a hurry to release a new game. but the game sells becos of ea's rep. but how long can it go on.

i played LOTR:BFME II and that game sucks too. very slow. i loved LOTR:BFME I that was a good game

MakeWayForTheBadGuy · 28-03-2006, 11:42 PM

godfather didn't live up to it's reputation man..
graphics were worse than mafia..
total waste of money.

abhilash · 29-03-2006, 02:12 PM

I tried the game at friends house...the controls are very hard to get used to....specifically how have played mafia & GTA before... If you have not tried either of these...then give it a try...

People who like Gta gonna hate Godfather

Darthvader · 29-03-2006, 09:50 PM

No i dont agree with u on that pt.
Ya the controls are a bit tough at first to grasp but once u get the hang of them they are wonderful( at least for me)

And if u hated Gta's shallow combat and want a atmospheric feeling u are going to love godfather
