GAME obviously dont expect this to sell well, we got 3 bloody copies of it in delivery today! just 3!!!:evil:

I think they are underestimating the damand for "mature" content on Wii

OMG!

This is going to be the best and only competitor to GTA. I didn't play The Godfather on previous Consoles, but I can't wait to get my hands onto this

Seeing as you have 3 copies and you don't expect to sell, Could you send one over for testing purposes?

Scarface looks to be way better but this one uses the Wii very effectively

OMG - another game I must buy!

I loved the GTA series of games (I can remember playing the 2D versions).

Is there going to be a version of GTA coming out on the Wii or is it too soon to say?

BoNe · 21-03-2007, 05:19 PM

Haha!! Nice one

I shall be making a purchase on Friday then methinks

...although my flat mate has got some of his mates coming to stay for the weekend and he wants to borrow my wii. Hmm... gunna have to tell him to sod off me thinks!!

Finally picked the godfather up!

Its great! The controlls work amazingly well, and its the closest you will get to GTA on the Wii!

I picked it up and im loving it, though I think theres some problems with differculty.

For one im not told only the orange coated gangsters are a dealable threat, if I go after the green coated gangsters at this stage in the game i'm gunna die, i'm not warned to come back later or to think carefully about which gangster's to tackle so I found myself dying 10 times in the first hour trying to get a tricky racket.

The combat is well done and frantic but the wall hugging could allow you to move around corners and do a Gears of war style change of cover by pushing along (to change the side of a door way your on) it means i'm better off crouching behind objects than shooting around corners.

Controls are great, I always do the evil face when I strangle a guy.

Music is good when it sticks to the themes of the movies it's not good when the remakes or new music starts as this stuff sounds too modern. speaking of which why can't we have old fashioned real music playing in the car? why is it only godfather music?

Other complants include a lack of save points (not even the Don's house is a save point) sometimes slow collision detection and the fact Al Pacino doesn't look a think like he does in the movie.

Still this is the second great game for the Wii worthy as my collection as Zelda or Wii sports.
