Godfather 2

First I'm going to give you every spoiler.
There is nothing in common to the movie.
Nothing.

This game has so little to do with the movie that at times I felt I wasn't even playing the godfather. If it wasn't for the Corleone family name or the fact it kept reminding you "Your a Don now, your in control." I would have zoned it out and completely felt like I was playing a somewhat decent gangster game.

But I couldn't. I couldn't displace the movie and the game. It was horrible. The whole time I kept going,"Why can't I jump this!? WHY IS HE JUST STANDING THERE!? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!?"

If your into Grand Theft Auto 4 or Saints Row, or heck even into Just Cause. Sandbox game this is not.

There are 3 major city areas, 2 of which actually really matter, and the third is so minor that you play maybe 2 hours worth of game time in it before heading out.

The game takes nothing from the movies besides name and character. The story is completely removed, in fact it makes no sense.

The controls are horrible. Okay, no that's a lie. The controls are simple, its the characters available actions that are horrible.

Your character can't jump. Instead he can hop over low walls. But not all, only some, so if there is a wall you imagine you can run up and jump over to proceed through a level chances are your wrong.
If there is an area where it looks like you should be able to walk through easily, or crouch and proceed through (For example, a large pipe) Your character cannot go through that way.
If you want to take cover behind a low wall, he can't, instead he can take cover on the wall that is of no use to you on your defense.

The design is flawed but at times it gleams hope. Like the multiplayer transcending into single player where you can level up your characters is clever and interesting, all be it worthless if you go through the single player mode entirely only to go to multiplayer next.

Overall this game could have used some better input and more time in testing. I give it a 4 out of 10
