"EA strikes well with Motion!"

The Wii fundamental is to use and utilized motion controls. EA had done it with Godfather Blackhand Edition. EA have release 3 version of the new Godfather, Xbox godfather, Wii Blackhand and PS3 Don edition.

Godfather: The BlackHand Edition
Storyline: 10/10
Without showing most of the story, your father, Johnny, had died against from a Family. You had seen your father die and Vito Corleone comes in. "When the time is right, you will take your revenge." So basically, you are trying to find the guy that murder your father.

Graphics: 8/10
Now everyone says that it looks like the PS2 version. I don't think so, I think that the graphic is excellent. EA did do something to improve the graphics and it worked. The guns looks well done, and even the money looks fine. So you can't rip this game for its graphic.

Controls: 10/10
I just have to give it a 10! Well, the control works so great with the game. There isn't any confusion how to do execution. Its fun to pretend hitting a person with your fist, and you can with this game. You basically can beat them up, do interesting execution etc. I love the free-look for this game. You can point and shoot, finally!

Gameplay: 9/10
Ah yes, gameplay. The game is fairly simple, you extort business to make them yours or I should say for the Family. There is lots of rackets and fronts which will keep you busy during the free-roam. Hit mission gives you more money and also respect for the Family. Favors makes the Family to trust you more. We have the usual storyline so it will be time consuming. You will rise to the ranks of the Mafia which I find it fun. To start, you will be an Outsider -> Associate -> Soldier -> Capo -> Underboss -> Don -> Don of NYC. It takes, atleast 10+ hours to get to a Don which is great.

Replay Value: High
If you are a gamer like me, you want to become Don of NYC. The highest achievement you can get in this game. Also, I find it enjoyable running around, doing hit missions and favors for your Family. Starting over is really fun because you can try new routes when you put in your skill points.

Rent or Buy?: Buy!
Buy this game, its worth now $30 and its well worth it. I bought mine yesterday, I couldn't press my power button because I was addicted to this game. There is lots to explore in the Mafia world. There is no way you can beat in one rental because you just want to rent it again :)

Reviewer Score: 9/10
Additional Notes: I am looking forward to review Scarface. But not now. Im still playing Godfather :D. You will enjoy it as a GTA-Like atmosphere.
