Lol, well deserved EA. Now who is going to buy the game? There's no longer Wii owners to buy it and HD gamers are really picky. Hope this one posts a big loss, a game this bad doesn't deserve sales at all.

 

I am. Why this game does not deserve any sales at all?

 

lol, where's your "I only buy highly reviewed games" whining now. Stick to your principles.

 

Please do provide me a post where I have said that. Untill you find one, try to behave.

How could anyone have not seen these low scores coming. The game didn't even have a shot at being good.

Look for Mafia II in Q4

 

Yes, now that game looks good!

They delayed it, what do you expect?

So how many failed games is that now for the PS360 in the last month? All bcoz of Re5's eclipse over everything else.

the review is a load if bull. Just because the game isn't called gta and it is a sandbox game, this review has played the game down in every possible way. Like gta4 had no glitches or repetitive missions and side missions.

Godfather has always had better gameplay mechanics. The shooting is more fun, the fighting is more fun, the driving is more fun and now you have a game with greater depth than gta will ever have and they mark it down!

I prefered godfather1 on the ps2 over gta and I will show my support again by buying godfather 2. Some of these reviewers need to sort their reviewing principles out. They can't give gta games immunity forever when most of them are a pile of shallow, novelty piece of crap. Wanna be gangster piece of average gaming with a couple of dozen repetitive boring ass missions!

Whats wrong with you? Trolling on Wii owners when he never even said he wanted the game to begin with.

You Fail as usual

The Bad

  • Nothing about the game feels finished  
  • Uninspired and repetitive gameplay  
  • Crew members are unbelievably stupid  
  • Poorly designed multiplayer modes and maps  
  • Dated visuals.
Questionable design choices aside, the problem with almost every aspect of The Godfather II is simply that it feels unfinished. Dated visuals, voiced lines of dialogue that seemingly play at random and often inappropriate times, dead bodies falling through scenery, a car hovering in the air about half a mile off the Cuban coast, being able to snipe enemies through walls and doors that haven't popped into view yet, guards who fail to recognize you as a threat when you walk into a federal building and crack a safe, cars and pedestrians that appear and disappear long before they leave your range of vision, getting stuck in an animation somewhere between a regular walk and a crouch after vaulting through a window--these are just some of the problems we encountered in the 13 hours or so that it took to play from start to finish. Even looking past these anomalies, all you're going to find is repetitive, unsatisfying gameplay in an illogical, inconsistent world. The Godfather II should have been an offer impossible to refuse, but like Michael's brother Fredo, this one will break your heart.

I disagree with everything in red. It's either not true or at least never happened in my playthrough.

Anything that's blue is only half true or pretty rare.

 

@megaman79

I'm not trolling at all xDDDDDDDD

I don't care if he didn't want the game to begin with or not. His comment is horrible fanboyish and immature.

Its not. Read it again and then explain to me exactly why it is fanboyish and immature.

His opinion is based on 1 review. Neither own experience nor the average of all available reviews.

He wants that EA posts a big loss and thinks "a game this bad doesn't deserve sales at all"

If you can read between the lines you'll even feel the anger and spitefulness that EA didn't make a Wii version.

 

That's at least my interpretation :)
