The Godfather: Blackhand Edition

"A Game Everyone Should Buy"

This is the game everyone is looking for. I believe this is the top game for Wii at the moment. There are guns, killing, blood, and mobsters. You take over businesses and work for the Don.

Story:
The story is good. It goes from your fathers death up to you taking revenge. It is pretty much the Godfather 1,2, and 3 in a game. There are movies in it which show you whats going on and whats happening. The story is good, unlike other Wii games. 10/10

Controls:
The controls in this game are fantastic. The Wii remote really lives up to what is is supposed to be. To throw, you pretty much throw, but with the wiimote. To punch, you punch. You use the nunchuck to move you guy around and Z to lock on. C is to crouch and get your weapon out. The Wiimote is great. A is to hijack cars and talk. B trigger is to shoot. 1 is to access menu. 2 is to see your mission. - when in car is to shoot to the left. + when in a car is to shoot to the right and to go into free-shooting mode. The controls are so easy to learn and are fun. 10/10

Graphics:
The graphics remind me of an Xbox game. The graphics really do not matter in a game like this. The fun of it is the missions and you forget about the last-gen graphics. 8/10

Sound:
The sound and voices are like the ones in the movies. The Godfather sounds exactly the same. Everyone, including your character, has a voice. Shooting sounds sound like any other gun shot which isnt bad. Nicely done with the voices though. 9/10

Replay Value:
The replay value to this game isn't too great. The thing though is that to complete this game takes 50 hours +. You can still kill people, take over things, hijack cars, and do whatever you want. 7/10

Mini-missions:
These are fun. Including taking over businesses and helping the family out. Fun and takes up time. 9/10

If you are trying to decide whether to rent or buy this game. I would say buy it. Renting it wouldn't give you enough time to beat it. Buying it gives you the first best Wii game and all the time in the world to beat it. BUY IT!

Overall I rate this game 10/10.
A fantastic game everyone should get. I have beaten Zelda and this is the Zelda game, just not fantasy.
