The Godfather is all about finding businesses, extorting the owners, and taking over the city not with guns, but with edgy diplomacy. Of course there's still plenty of time to go to war with the neighboring families, and we often found ourselves skipping out on the story for a few hours and hiring a few goons to go take down a mob headquarters with us, but the primary focus is on smart gameplay, and that's something that is a definite advantage over the GTA series.
All added features aside, the game still plays nearly identical to the original Godfather game, which is where the motion control comes into play. The Wii adds a new element of depth to the experience, as both the nunchuk and Wii remote become extensions of the player's hands. Free-aim can be tweaked for sensitivity, and while this works great for making distance shots or quickly spinning to hit larger targets, it's often easier just to lock on rather than lining up a precise shot.
Still, the option is there, and it's definitely a step above the dual analog option in the other versions. More importantly than the countless actions or IR control itself is the fact that the motion control just feels fun, and if you take nothing else from review, just take that one point - the motion control is truly fun to use.
I found myself actually being a dick in the game simply because it was fun to grab hold of a smart-ass passerby, shout some amazingly generic Italian lingo at my TV screen, and throw him to the ground. I didn't have anything against him… I just wanted to throw a guy, so I did. As the game progressed, I found myself wanting to use less of the guns and more of the physical weapons as well.
Sure it's fun to pop a guy in the knee, slowly walk up to him, and put a single revolver shot in his head, but it's oh so rewarding to walk into a heavily-guarded compound, look at a group of shotgun-toting-mobsters, and think "Ya know… I'm just going to beat the ever-loving hell out of these guys with a bat instead.
With the Wii controllers, I had a chance to actually get my hands dirty instead, and it's a rewarding experience though the hospital bill was much higher in retrospect. As far as the overall look and presentation, The Godfather: Blackhand Edition is somewhere between a low and high end Xbox game, as the animations and effects are decent, but still not mind-blowing.
The game does manage to create a solid mood with use of tons of voice acting Marlon Brando's last role as the Godfather, in fact , an amazingly deep story - something that Wii gamers aren't getting much of thus far - and a , p presentation. Add in the ability to tweak Wii pointer sensitivity and practice any of the game's motions in a tutorial menu similar to SSX Blur and you've got a game that is just as good, if not slightly better, than its predecessors.
All things considered though, the game could still be a substantially better. While the character models and in-game cinemas make for a visually impressive experience the game's overworld map leaves a ton to be desired, as the city itself is very plain. More variety in shops and compound layouts would have been greatly appreciated, and the Wii does suffer from some annoying pop-in issues when trying to draw the landscape on the fly.
In addition some of the AI can be horribly moronic, having bystanders caught in animation loops or using the same piece of dialogue twice in a row for no reason.
We actually witnessed a police officer running continuously into a street lamp NYPD's finest indeed , which - needless to say - took us out of the experience quite a bit. Still, even with its shortcomings The Godfather: Blackhand Edition has a ton to offer Wii gamers, and many of the issues it suffers from can still be found in any and every GTA game out there.
As long as you can take the good with the bad in some instances, you'll find The Godfather to be a very rewarding experience. When it all boils down, though, The Godfather is a great first step on Wii, as it uses more than 25 gestures, IR aiming, and has a ton of features above the original game in the form of new items, missions, gameplay modes favors and blackmailing specifically , and RPG elements.
More important than any list of numbers and features though, is the fact that The Godfather is just fun to play. Was this article informative? YES NO. In This Article. The Godfather: Blackhand Edition.
