Description
Set in post-WWII New York City, The Godfather follows the player-created character's rise through a crime syndicate based on the book and film franchise. Combining events from the movie with side-story missions, the player must earn respect by completing missions in territories controlled by New York's five crime families.
Largely open-ended, the game's story is driven by a series of missions where the player can use violence, intimidation, or diplomacy to affect the outcome and influence future events and other character's reactions. A third-person action game, The Godfather features a punching mechanism to brutally assert yourself, a car theft and driving engine, and a shooting system which allows for locational damage.
The Godfather features a persistent offline world populated with locations from the franchise and characters who are often voiced by the actors who portrayed them onscreen.

While Marlon Brando did contribute his voice to the game prior to his death, his ill health affected his speech and unfortunately, his lines were not used.
