If you have a Wii and like sandbox style games, you definately should buy Godfather. The game is rich in story and overall appeal. It has RPG elements as you progress your player (which you create Mii style). Then there's the amazing work EA did with the controls. The fighting sequences are 100 times better than Wii boxing and the storyline is more interesting that GTA (fill in subtitle here), especially if you like the Godfather movies. I have only had the game for a couple of days, but it is an amazing game well worth the $50. 

I agree, it IS a great sandbox, but doesnt weigh in against GTA IMO. The main quest is just too lacking. Great game none the less.

Sorry, but I'm not a fan of those types of games. :p

I have yet to play it, but it does look very fun.

I have this game also, and it's extremely fun. Definitely a worth purchase if you own a Wii and like sandbox games.

Id rate this an easy 6/10 Wont draw anyone new into the genre, well done FOR the genre, but not groundbreaking like GTA

It's nothing special especially when I can play Crackdown or the new GTA when that comes out...

It is a lot of fun, but that's due to the controls. It actually makes real use of the Wiimote controls instead of many of Nintendo's own games.

Will consider it. Picked up DragonBallZ instead of this one (a month or so back). If it comes down in price, will definitely consider - or may wait for Scarface, and see how that scores.

I went to purchase Godfather, npe this hick-town didnt have it in. sold out??? to who, are there is are goats, dualing banjo's and a fisherman telling me I have a purdy mouth? and I doubt he bought godfather.................Looks like I will have to wait.....oh well I guess I will be getting a free PS2 soon........I am gonna sk if i can get a receipt or have a trade in value or something to get an xbox 360!
