Brando actually recorded voiceover for this before he died, but it was of such poor quality (due to his declining health), that they chose to scrap it & replace him with a voiceover artist.

[@crashfalso]

He is still in the game as an easter egg tho. Brando's final performance can be heard after the mission he gets shot and you visit him in the hospital. If you hang around long enough close to his room,you get to hear Vito talking to Michael,and its the original Brando recording

[@flippedoutkyrii]

Like Pluviam said, he has one line in the game. It's genuinely haunting, I recommend looking it up.

[@tunamouthtemple6574]

This game was just so stupidly fun on the Wii. I loved flailing my arms around to throw bottles or punch people repeatedly. Especially since the Wii version has a glitch where you can rapidly punch an NPC while talking to them and it does nothing to them.

[@malcolmhernandez1590]

You could do the same thing to certain NPC's on PS2 as well!

[@DeltaSpark8]

My cousin and I have had many laughs from that glitch. It's especially fun to do on the doormen at clubs ("Have a good time!") and that crooked police sergeant that give you hit contracts. With him, just hit him with your car and hold down the target-lock button as you talk to him. Your character will automatically get him up on his knees and hold him by the collar, and as long as you keep him grabbed, you can beat the crap out of him XD Also, the first hit he gives you can be repeated. Just use the phone in the safehouse you get after completing the mission and fast travel to a different one. Then just go to where you first met him, and there he'll be again, ready to task you with throwing the same guy off the same roof!

[@bobafett4265]

@@DeltaSpark8 Awesome. XD

[@plutosmash6068]

I’ve beaten the Xbox original, the black hand edition on wii and the dons edition on ps3. I enjoyed this game more than I should have lol.

[@D_Jester]

I remember playing this one on the PS2 when I was a kid. Loved the movie. If I remember, I think this was one of the first open world games I had played. What I really loved about it, though, was that you weren't one of the main characters. You were a nobody that helped set some of the set piece movie moments up. The guy that put the pistol in its place for the hit at the resturant? You. the guy who helps stand guard at the hospital? You. The one driving after Sunny before IT happens, you. Loved it. All the extra guys in the movie become your character.

[@benjaminfoley919]

The Wii did have some great games after you get through the shovelware

Quite a lot of great hidden gems actually

Over the last year I've been collecting wii games and yeah there are quite a few hidden gems and pretty cheap too ive only paid more than 20 bucks a few times

[@Son-Michael]

I LOVE the Wii version. It was hella fun with the motion controls, ngl.

[@chad12345678]

This game is a criminally underrated Wii classic! Glad to see it getting love. Gave me many hours of fun.

[@edavidbruce]

Yoooooo!!!! This game was a blast! Thanks for playing this Matt brings back memories

[@chameleonhrt]

I've only played the sequel and I liked it. My older brother gave it to me for Christmas. After I finished it, my brother started playing it and he loved it. Eventually he got his own copy for the PS3 (my copy was for the 360).

[@jollof-raids]

Matt's knack for crime is uncanny

[@kingvulturo]

Matt you get +40 respect points for not once going "Nyeah Coppers!" during the entire video.

[@TheOriginalEdFry]

Duuuuuuude, You GOTTA Play Scarface on the Wii!!!

[@SnipingIsFun]

Agreed

[@CleverCover05]

That part with the truck driver was actually really interesting. I want to see part of the game from Luca's perspective

[@Donutearthpodcast]

I liked the wii version more then the other version

[@johnnyguit-fiddle2088]

This is actually one of my favorite games. My favorite thing about it is that you can run up to random people on the street, grab them by the throat, and just look in their eyes while you choke them out. Its super fucked

[@GenerationWest]

Luca Brasi was totally voiced by Garry Chalk, the Optimus Prime that 90's kids probably grew up with, since most of this was recorded in Canada, expect to hear some Scott McNeil and Michael Dobson too. (Godfather Ii is MUCH better, also the Scarface game, both developers destroyed by EA and Activision respectively... Wow. )

[@PurpleTurtle-t4q]

there's a Scarface game too and it's actually pretty good

[@torgogorgo1888]

you can shoot guys in the nuts and it will tell you that's where you hit them

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

Fun Fact: In The Godfather film the actor who played Luca Brasi, Lenny Montana, was actually an enforcer in the Italian mafia. Because the film was opposed heavily by the Italian-American Civil Rights League, including Joe Colombo and Frank Sinatra, the film had to make concessions including removing the word “mafia” from the script, and allowing Montana to hang around on set. Because the original actor died of a stroke, and because Montana was a 6’6” former professional wrestler, Francis Ford Coppola fell in love, and actually casted him in the movie. The scene at the wedding where Luca is frantically rehearsing what he’ll say to Don Corleone was actually a scene added by Coppola when he watched Montana, a very big fan of Marlon Brando, repeatedly practicing his lines as to not embarrass himself in front of one of his heroes.

[@davidgomez7882]

I didn't know about Montana being a fan of Brando, that's rather wholesome.

[@DrBeans666]

the don corleone model actually looks like him there's a resemblance

[@davidgomez7882]

The only model that really doesn't like the actor is Michael Corleone Apparently Al Pacino either he couldn't be at the studio for face modelling or he didn't wanted.

[@DeltaSpark8]

@@davidgomez7882 I think it was due to him having already lent his likeness to Activision for the Scarface game that came out around the same time. Contractual restrictions, basically.

[@michaelbandada9887]

During the mission "Intensive Care", Marlon Brando reprised the role of Don Corleone, albeit briefly. James Caan, Abe Vigoda and Robert Duvall also reprised their roles yet Al Pacino didn't reprise his role since his voice greatly changed and he gave his likeness for Scarface: The World is Yours

[@gavinmanning4983]

This is amazing. Please play more of this, I need to know what happens next for Matt McMafia

[@Michael-pi2be]

This game was really good for the ps2. Was introduced to the basics of organized crime at a young age 😎

[@kleptooohhyena]

Love your content man. I work at a used video game store and watching your videos gives me some insight on some of these games I've never played. Some I even remember playing when I was a teen. I actually just priced this game the other week before I was furloughed.

[@TheKavernacle]

It is Marlon Brando, apparently he was really interested in the game and even recorded new lines allegedly

[@OvieKovy]

Your Don impression is the best Matt I'm crying over here

[@SakiChronicles]

I really liked the Godfather game, but mainly because as you continue to gain more and more territory, you can see it expanding on your map. That sounds weird, I know, but it always made me want to continue taking over the map when I could see that it was working. It's like the old games "Gangsters", when each territory was color coded. Loads of fun.

[@kelimusprime]

Yes, it's Gary Chalk, Optimus Primal (BW) /Prime (Armada, energon, Cybertron)

[@darianthescorpion1132]

I have The Don’s Edition for the PS3, which is the definitive edition. I’ve always been fascinated with The Godfather, and even with it’s problems, I think the game is a nice love letter to Part 1. Rest In Peace, Marlon Brando.

[@JohnDee633]

Considering this was on the wii, the characters look really well done.

[@RickJaeger]

the line about saving your anger and taking your revenge as an adult is so good. esp since we know from The Godfather Part II what he knows about waiting for revenge. makes you wanna kiss your fingers and go MWAH _perfetto_ nice delivery too. idk if that was a line directly from Brando or not, but some of the VAs are the original actors (Caan, Duvall, and Vigoda as Sonny, Tom Hagen, and Tessio). OTOH, some are doing a good impression, and some are doing a BAD impression. Doug Abrahams does a lot of heavy lifting in the VO, and they all turned out really well. P.S. oh god, i want an organized crime godfather-type game for Vampire: The Masquerade now. "$500 in 1945 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $7,169.86 in 2020." So i guess not a millionaire per se, but that's a tidy sum of money. def a little more than pocket change. oh yeahhh the driving missions are probably the hardest in general. YEAH this game is cool. not a masterpiece, but cool. you could go either way on it. On the one hand, the gameplay is repetitive as hell, and that Barzini compound is a MOTHERFUCKER to try and crack even at high levels. OTOH, you could make Matteo Musclio the new Don of New York by the end of the game.

[@gabrielpalma1687]

I love this game. I have played the whole game twice in the Wii, once in the PC and the PSP version too. I think is a very enjoyable experience specially if you like the movie or the book.

[@michaelbandada9887]

The PSP version is basically a generic shoot'em up game

[@mrchiefbs]

[@TediousNomenclature]

I love this game. If the parent groups knew about the controls for this, they would have had this banned

[@torgogorgo1888]

I played it on 360 but I love this game. It's not perfect, but it's solid and the Godfather aesthetic is done very well.

my favorite video game was featured on the Nintendo 64 and it was based off of a series of books called the x wing series by Michael a stackpole and aaron allston and the video is called star wars x wing rogue squadron

[@ChrisDelChris]

You should definitely check out The Godfather II. It's legit a good game and expands on the empire building aspects in a really fun way.

[@davidgomez7882]

It's a shame it got such a bad rap because it deviated from the movie. Maybe it wasn't very faithful but it was very fun nonetheless. I personally loved gathering information from each mob member and following the requirements so they stay dead.

[@cw5199]

I just rebeat this using ps2 emulation. I literally made a character that looks exactly like this lol. Bald and beard in life and virtually.

I really enjoyed this game on the wii, you can make exact replica of Agent 47 in the character creator minus the tatoo

[@flippedoutkyrii]

Ah, the Open-World game with copypasted roads/interiors and roughly 10 cars. They shouldn't have blown all their budget on the fire effects! Shitposting aside, the game was a hell of a lot of fun then and even now. I did a 100% run 7 years ago and while it was very rough it was certainly a fun experience! Game has some nice details such as in-cooperating the main player character into scenes from the movie, you even come across an FBI wanted-board/cross-section that has the player's identity on it (Even dubbing him "The Player", probably one of most blatantly anachronistic 90's terms in the whole game) and despite their efforts to get Marlon Brando into the gamer they only used one line when the don was in intensive care where he laments his own mortality. Which is even more haunting when you consider Marlon Brando voiced that while also sitting on his own extended death bed.

[@VirtualResidence]

Loved the godfather for psp!

[@Renwwwww]

Godfather 2 was a short fun one.

[@FloppyFred]

For some reason, this scene at kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXrQe2aGgamEfM0 starts in a backalley in Xbox, 360 and PC and not on the top of a house. Don´t know why this is exclusive to the Wii?!?
