The Godfather: The Game

Posted on February 7, 2005

What more could a gamer ask for than the opportunity to become a mobster in a world based on The Godfather? The challenge for Electronics Arts will be to make the game fun and exciting while keeping the feel of the films and Mario Puzo novel.

The game will be available this fall for multiple systems and the PC. EA developers will have one advantage -- before his death Marlon Brando granted the rights to his digital likeness to EA and conducted a voiceover session with the developers.

Don Vito Corleone, the Godfather, will be featured in the game. Gamers will create their own mob character in the game. After a life of small-time jobs and petty thefts the player will be accepted into the Corleone family, America's most famous criminal organization. It will be up to the player to carry out orders, earn respect and make New York City their own. The Godfather game will offer numerous options for solving the family's problems with brutal violence, skillful diplomacy, or a cunning mixture of both. Players can engage in mobster activities like mob hits, bank heists, drive-by shooting and extortion.
