The Godfather: Mob Wars PlayStation Portable

Could have been better

Pros: Follows movie storyline, responsive controls, pretty good graphics

Cons: limited playability, quickly beat

This was my first PSP purchase. I love the Godfather movies and thought this would be an expansive game in which you could move all across New York in building a mob empire. Instead, each mission you do takes place in a very limited city space that y...ou're taken to automatically. There is a lot of redundancy in building layouts and mission types. The game is divided into "story" mode and "mob war" mode. The story mode follows the movie pretty closely, only with your character thrown in there as a new addition. The mob wars mode sets you up with a map of the city and you need to battle the other 4 families for control of New York and New Jersey. This is done by taking over sections of the city, again done as missions confined to a very limited section. You can unlock video of the movie itself, but I think this might have occupied too much space on the disk and limited the amount of space they could have instead dedicated to making the game better. I finished the game after maybe 8 to 10 hours of leisurely game play. I think it's a pretty easy game to complete and the replayability of it isn't great. I would probably only recommend borrowing or renting this one. Read more Less
