The Godfather: Blackhand Edition Review
i realize that this game is 2 years old and i am just now buying it, but i can say this is probably one of the best games on the wii. if you enjoy gta, action games, or shooters, then this is the perfect game to play. for those of you who have played mafia wars online, this is essentially mafia wars realized. you get to create a character and work your way up in the crime world.
it is so awesome how the cut scenes and gameplay are incorporated. the graphics have been criticized; however, i found the graphics to be quite nice and realistic. the new york scenery is very nice and the characters look as they would in the movies. the controls are great and intuitive. ea does a great job of showing control tips throughout the game to help you know what to do. it is also great to be able to beat-up, grab, shake, etc people by doing the motions just like you would in real life. the shooting is very easy and rewarding.
you also get to drive in this game; however, driving doesn't seem to be my strong suite as i had to replay these missions several times. :(
the only negative comments i have are: 1)the font for the words on the screen could've been bigger. unless you are sitting fairly close to the screen, it is hard to read all of the good information that is being presented to you. 2)the camera angles are difficult to manage at times, not allowing you to clearly see everything going on around you 3)sometimes while shooting, your target goes off the screen and you have to readjust.
again, this is an extremely enjoyable game for adults. it incorporates strategy, role-playing, negotiation, shooting, driving, and fighting. what's not to love?
