One of the legendary novels penned by the great Italian novelist Mario Puzo has been the favorite of millions around the world. The convincing imagination and the elegant interpretation of the author has given rise to the movies that share the same name as the novel – The Godfather. The trilogy was filmed in an historic fashion and its impact still reigns supreme among the film appreciators. As it is a tendency of the mob to visualize their favorite movie in every possible media, game developers came out with the mob game named ‘The Godfather’.
The idea of the game was budding among the game developers and Electronic Arts were the first to come out with the PSP version of the game in 2006. Since then the international gaming markets were flooded with one name ‘The Godfather: Mob Wars”. The Godfather PSP version is partly of the GTA style combined with elements of strategy. The player gets to take control of the various utilities from the city. His primary aim would be to become the Don of the city and he has to gain reputation points to be so. The game includes direct combat with the enemies. Guns, pistols and other weapons could be made use to of to attack the enemies.
The money that is gained in the game is very important for the survival of the player. Using this money, the player would be able to hire new thugs from each district and use them to capture the territory. The story line progresses with the acquiring of cards by running outfits like diamond, jewelry, gambling etc. The game however has few setbacks. The cars in the city could not be used as how it could be in the other consoles. That makes the mission more tedious and tiring. The game has two modes and both are discrete from each other. The action sequences are really simplistic and give no room for strategic planning. The game would however be a great success among The Godfather lovers. They get to tune the characters with all what they desire. The game played a commendable role in paying a tribute to the historic trilogy.
