[@valmarsiglia]

No, no, no: the Luca Brasi scene at Connie's wedding wasn't meant to imply that Brasi was some speechless oaf. First of all, that scene was completely real, ie, it was the actor, Lenny Montana (who had been an actual mob enforcer/bodyguard as well as pro wrestler) nervously practicing his dialogue, and Coppola decided to keep it in the film because it underscored how respected and feared Don Vito was. Second, in the book, it's made plain just why Brasi was so feared (chopping up two of Al Capone's goons with an axe); he certainly wasn't just some brainless goon.

[@expendableindigo9639]

He can be brainless and a feared strong killer.

[@PeacefulJoint]

He was a psychopath, that's why he was feared. The whole reason he was loyal to Vito was because Luca forced a woman to throw his newborn child into a furnace at gunpoint. Then was arrested a week later for murdering the child's mother. The woman who was forced to kill the child felt safe enough to tell Vito what really happened and Vito had the charges dropped knowing a man willing to murder his own child was a man willing to do anything, and winning that loyalty would be priceless. Although the man disgusted Vito.

[@valmarsiglia]

@@PeacefulJoint In the novel there was another story that added to the legend of Luca: Al Capone once sent a couple of hitmen to NYC, and Luca got a hold of them, chained them up in some warehouse, and chopped one of them to death with an axe. The other one was so terrified that he inhaled and suffocated to death on the towel he had stuffed in his mouth.

[@Lactovacilo939]

@@vblack172 there aren't many good licensed games, i guess from the top of my head you could try the resevoir dogs game but it is kidna mediocre, only fans of the movie will like since it shows what happens to some of the characters that died in the movie and how they scapped back to the safehouse. It is also very short. There is also the 50 cent games that are ok at best, bulletproof has a decent enough story and blood on the sand is short but sweet. The xman vowverine game and the spiderman games, the newer one and the old ones are also quite good, some better than other.

7:04 interesting tidbit about Aldo's tutorial here; i originally played the Xbox 360 version of this game, and this sequence takes place in a back alley. Some years later, I decide to get the PS3 version since i misplaced my old 360 copy. I was a bit confused as to why the tutorial took place on a rainy rooftop instead of the original back alley. Just thought it was an interesting change

[@cloud154532]

I think it was because the PS3 introduced rooftop racketeering, or something like that. I remember something about roofs being a big feature in a PS3 trailer I watched a while back.

[@lordfenix17]

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

This is the kind of game you can never go back to many years later, but if you were there to play it when it was new it was a blast, especially for Godfather fans. I remember loving the way they combed the movie to find scenes in which a nameless Corleone goon was present, like the cannoli scene where you play the guy in the back seat, just so they could turn the goon into Player 1 Agent Smith style. And surprisingly... it worked (mostly). As for the criticism concerning the movie not lending itself to an action game, I think it lends itself perfectly to show the other side of the coin: where the movie shows the leading branch of the family and their hands-off approach, the game shows the muscle and their wet work.

[@guilhermehank4938]

TO be honest, I dare say that its still worth a play even to this day. It has effort and soul into it that deserves recognition even to this day.

[@UltimateCarl]

I definitely 100%'d the game when it was new, pretty much playing it nonstop any time I had a chance. I even distinctly remember this was the first game I ever initially pirated, but then afterward went out and bought anyway because it was that good. The whole time I was watching this video it was just giving me a burning desire to dig it back up and play it again, or more likely see if I can find one of the rereleases/enhanced editions since I only ever played the base game at release.

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

@@UltimateCarl I think the problem is that in recent years we've gotten used to similar games that are much much slower, think GTA or Red Dead Redemption, so a game with this kind of movement speed feels archaic by modern standards, at least for me.

I don't really remember much about the game though, I remember there was only like 5 cars which was a bit of a let down but that level where you kill the horse is such a great change of pace, I loved sneaking behind maids and using my garrote to kill those guys, it was outlandish but that's what made it special.

My second favourite gta-like game (with the gta series included on this definition) before Bully and just a little bit above Scarface

[@FlashMeterRed]

I def like Mafia better as a game. Found them stark contrasts. Godfather seemed based around the repetitive gameplay of smashing and buying up shops, then having shootouts to protect them, with a sort-of story in the background. In Mafia, every mission was motivated to progress the story, was novel from the ones before (even if there was several shoot-all-the-people-who-shoot-at-you missions) and just seemed to want to bring that era to life. The car bonus missions were the only part that seemed a little tacked on. Only, with such designed missions, I wish there was more of it. Mafia 2 felt like they tried to bridge the gap between the two games. Nowhere near as fun. Never finished.

The Godfather + Gta = Recipe for success ?

[@crazyd4ve875]

The Godfather + GTA = Mafia 2

[@MyName-bw1kz]

And a nemesis system like Middle Earth.

This was one of my favorite games on the PS3, after a long time searching for this game I found a copy on some dodgy website and I bought it again. Brought back so many memories, I believe I 100% it in like 2 long ass days back last year. Loved the fact that you had to holster your weapons in public (I had never seen that before back then) and the whole taking over NYs boroughs from other families really gave me flashbacks from GTA San Andreas with the whole turf war going on. The atmosphere is pretty good, it really is a great homage to the movie. After seeing this in my recommended vids I'm so ready to sneak back into those compounds once again.

I loved this game back in the day so much, great nostalgia

[@man_6667]

Please make a video about the second game. When I was younger, I remember loving the game.

[@Gambino_Crime_Family]

This is the greatest game ever, definitely needs a remaster or remake.

[@francohuaro5331]

I agree

[@7ylerD]

Great review! I’m glad to see someone cover this game.

[@nicholaswoodring5556]

Most Godfather fans under 30 only got into the movies because of this game.

[@davisthegamelord]

This is one of the few movie based games that was actually good

[@cincymutt]

I mean, I wasn't exactly expecting classical film director Francis Ford Coppola to be like "Yeah! Videogames!" Especially a fairly quick paced action game.

[@marianoclerici3986]

How is this game weird, obscure or a tie-in? It's a pretty standard open world loose adaptation of a film that had come out more than 30 years before the game was launched, and it received lots of publicity.

[@AdminAbuse]

He's having an own opinion, so do you, simple as that

[@marianoclerici3986]

@@AdminAbuse It's not weird if it follows a pretty standard formula, it's not obscure if everyone heard of it, and it's not a tie-in if it was released decades after the movie.

[@allofthelightsbykanyewest]

Mariano Clerici you are fucking annoying lmaoo

[@olivercharles2930]

Most people haven't heard of it. Obscure: Yes. Is based on a pre-existing piece of media. A tie-in: Yes. As for weird, that is up for debate.

[@olivercharles2930]

@@marianoclerici3986 "if everyone heard of it" Yeah, that is absolutely NOT true. "it's not a tie-in" Not every tie-in has to release at the same time as the movie or book.

[@FoxyStoats]

The funniest thing is if you complete the side missions before completing the main game, if you control all of new york and then finish the final mission, you go through the cutscene where Michael is welcomed as the new don of the family, only for it to cut to you sat at the chair and everyone hailing you as the don of new york in the very next scene in the exact same room, almost like you just shot Michael, took his chair and everyone's cool with it.

Pacino must have sized this up and said, “no Balls Meter, no deal.”

[@lordfenix17]

This, this has gotta be the only real reason I've ever heard for why his voice isn't in the game. Top notch comment my boi!

[@mrtan5641]

Funnily enough. This game is what i call good fanfiction. Your OC is seen in the movie but also not a main character instead acting as his own supporting character with his own story and vendetta. The fact that his backstory ties in with the barzini is really good and also not forced upon. Even until now I want to play this game and the graphics while has aged i still enjoy it.

Did you ever check out US Gold's Godfather game for the Amiga? Absolutely beautiful looking game, looks more like a high end indie game, but it plays a bit crap.

[@minimme]

I didn’t but wow these are some of the best amiga visuals I’ve ever seen - def gotta check it out

[@Larry]

@@minimme Oh yeah, it looks like some sort of high end indie game on the switch.

[@kelbinhow]

Oh the nostalgia, I just LOVED THE HELL OUT OF THIS GAME! Did 100% completion and just kept roaming the city doing stuff. I remember finishing the story for the first time during christmas eve's night, right before heading out to my grandma's house, that day was awesome

[@demoleramera]

It is indeed. Nicely caught. I love how the GTA Series and the "clone games" made references to each other. Like in San Andreas, there's a billboard saying "True Grime: Street Sweepers"

[@highjim7778]

both 1 and 2 were fantastic, they really thought about how to intertwine the game into the timeline and witnessing scenes from a new angle was epic. Ill never forget hearing micheal through the door of Vitos room with the "im with you now"

12:25 and 12:36 Fake news, you can do that in the Wii version too, I know that because I used to play it all the time. So it isn't a PS3 exclusive. I think you can also do that in the PC version too, but I might be wrong.
