Re: The Godfather Blackhand Edition (Wii) / The Don's Edition (PS3)
Guys, I would love to get the PS3 version but I'm not starting all over again. It was too much of a pain in the *** to get where I'm at right now and starting all over again isn't an option. I'll rent the PS3 version just to see what they did.Comment

I'm going to hold out on this one, I think you should get the PS3 version. It's more complete just from reading all the articles on it. It's a very good game, I still need to finish it on the 360.Comment

When's the release date for the PS3 version? That sure is a LOOOONG time to think about getting it. I can see the wheels turning already... him justifying how he can get it, and yes, it wasn't THAT bad getting to where he was... it would just mean even MORE time playing it... hmm...

The Godfather: The Don's Edition Review PS3 IGN = 7.5
The Corleones may be bigger and more well-rounded than ever, but they're also showing plenty of wrinkles with age.

The Godfather: The Don's Edition is a strong and rather noticeable improvement over the original release, though much of it does feel outdated on the PlayStation 3. EA has done a great job of expanding nearly every facet of the game, and even though only a few of these additions change the game in major ways, the overall package is a good deal better. Still, with last-gen visuals, a frustrating city layout and other issues that plagued the original release, it's still far from perfect. But if you haven't played any of the previous releases, it's certainly worth a look.

The Godfather: Blackhand Edition Review = 8.0
Wii pays its respects to the Corleone family.

The Godfather: Blackhand Edition isn’t a perfect game – not by a long shot. The title suffers from the same technical limitations as any other GTA clone out there (pop-in and sketchy AI certainly rings a bell), and the preconceived notion of "Yet another GTA game" may take away from the product's more impressive points for some gamers, and that’s a shame. When it all boils down, though, The Godfather is a great first step on Wii, as it uses more than 25 gestures, IR aiming, and has a ton of features above the original game in the form of new items, missions, gameplay modes (favors and blackmailing specifically), and RPG elements. More important than any list of numbers and features though, is the fact that The Godfather is just fun to play. It’s fun to beat the tar out of store owners with the Wii remote. It’s fun to throw guys through windows and off ledges with actual shoving motions. Hell it’s even kind of fun to honk a car’s horn by pushing forward on the nunchuk. The game has its flaws, it isn’t perfect, but it has more options, features, and depth that the previous versions, and it’s simply a fun game to play.
Another Take
from Matt Casamassina
Yeah, I've always felt that The Godfather games from EA have gotten an undeserved bad wrap. They essentially serve up the same dynamics as any GTA title, but reviewers tended to pick on them more than Rockstar's efforts. Maybe because GTA came first. Maybe because The Godfather series isn't nearly as vulgar as Rockstar's titles. Or maybe it's just because the Corleone family is governed by EA -- a company people love to hate for some reason. Having sunk some quality time into the Wii version of the title, I'm pleasantly surprised with the end product and I'm glad its nudged its way out of the 7s and into the 8s. (By the way, don't just look at our pretty scores -- read the reviews.)
The game is fun, no doubt. Going from aspiring thug to full-blown mafia hitman is enjoyable since there is a lot to do and see, and EA has made good use of the Wii remote. Furthermore, the title weaves a storyline that both follows and breaks from the movies, which I personally like.
There are flaws, though -- ones inherent to the sandbox nature of the title. Jack of all trades, master of none, as they say. There are AI issues here and there, for instance. I couldn't help but laugh as my character, engaged in a casual scripted conversation with an NPC, was being shot in the back (blood squirting everywhere) by mobsters. And the visuals, while impressive in some respects, are less so in others.
Still, this is a fun sandbox title for adults and Wii owners tired of mini-games and fuzzy main characters should check it out.Comment
