Worse than this, however, is the driving model. Trying to learn this new setup after years of GTA play left me frustrated playing the early stages of the game. It would seem that in a move to distance this game from GTA the new 'blackhand' control setup has been created. The controls of the game are also a let down to any fan of the GTA franchise. These are highly repetitive and time consuming. The most boring part of the game is the neighbourhood consolidation missions. The player missions do not fail to entertain, but if you fail them a few times the game fails to entice you to try again and again in the way that GTA does. The story that runs through the game starts well with reenactments of the movie and big star voices matched to well rendered characters. This would not be a bad thing, as they are some of the best selling games of all time, what is a bad thing is that the graphics and the movement (on the PS2 at least) feel more like GTA III than the year old San Andreas. From the outset the game reminds the player of Grand Theft Auto III and later GTA titles. The way the game is presented, the packaging, the marketing and the hype point to this being the game we Godfather fans have been waiting for, but for me at least this was not the case. I am a huge fan of all three films, the music and the novels. When I saw this game advertised I had to have it.
