I'd definitely recommend buying this game! Even though it is old, the gameplay and graphics are awesome! eBay said the disk was used but when I received it, it was sealed in original packaging! I am so pleased!

I thought this was going to be another game that ripped off Grand Theft Auto when I bought this game. It does a little, but only a little. This game, though, adds so much more. It has all the cool things from the Godfather Trilogy whether it's carrying out a hit on a rival family, paying bribes to G-Men and cops, or influencing store and hotel owners that they need your protection for a fee. You can go along with what the agenda is or you can go and try to obtain more businesses and racketeering ventures. And what's really cool about the game is that for each time you kill a member of a rival family, they keep a vendetta out on you. If you kill too many members of the same family, then a mob war starts. The only way to end the mob war (and win anyway) is to bribe a G-Men or bomb a rival business within 48 hours (time goes by rather quickly though, it's not really 48 real hours, more like 48 minutes if even that). The only gripe I had was the controls are a little goofy to get used to for a newbie when you're fighting (it kind of reminds me of Fight Night, the boxing video game). But I got used to it, and now it's no big deal at all. Dollar for dollar, there aren't too many games that are as good as The Godfather. The storyline is exceptional, and there are so many things to do. It even lets you create yourself as a crime thug (I'm a longhaired hippie and it won't let me have long hair-minor bummer) and you work yourself up the family ladder. I bought 24: The Game and thought that game was pretty good, but that almost stinks when compared to this game. I liked the storyline on 24, but the options and gameplay on The Godfather are much much better, it's just way more fun (sometimes too fun, real time hours go by too fast when you play this game, warning to significant others). I reviewed 24 a couple months ago and now I wish I hadn't given it such a good review after playing this game. If you're a fan of the Godfather Trilogy, you'll absolutely love this game. If you're not familiar with the series (I would say "If you're not a fan", but that would be absurd. I mean if you're reading this, you can't dislike the movies unless you just dislike Godfather 3), you'll get to be a character in the movie but in game form. Parents should be cautioned with this game. It's violent and the language might not suit young ears. Otherwise, I know you'll love this game. It's unique gameplay and storyline will give you hours and hours of enjoyment.Read full review
I loved this game more than expected, most major reviews (like gameinformer etc.) said it was just o.k., but to me it was a hit. Before you start you can change your characters clothes or get a new look on your whole entire body. The fighting style in this title is actually pretty cool compared to most games. To fight instead of using the buttons you use the right analog stick (like in Fight Night) this method is much faster and easier than punching in buttons. The graphics are standard XBOX graphics. The gameplay is well done and the storey line is beautiful. If you are a fan of the Godfather then is a must. You will get to relive the godfather on your XBOX. Ovarall it is a really good game. It exceeded my expectations.
Great game that adds on to the movies storyline and does a good job at it to.

Great freelncing with extorting and hit contracts, great story line. The game really makes you interested in the families and gets you hooked through all of the open end ways you can play. You can slam ppls heads on the table, or any scenery, can slam ppl up againsst walls, very cool execution styles to master (with guns or melee).
