The Godfather: Blackhand Edition

The Godfather: Blackhand Edition (2007)

by Electronic Arts
Genres:Adventure, Shooter, Racing, Fighting
Themes:Open world, Action
Story:The Godfather: Blackhand Edition, is the highest rated version of The Godfather on Gamerankings and IGN, despite not faring as well with other publications. It features 20 normal missions, ten new hit missions, a new rival family seen only in the new hit missions, rooftop battles, new favors, and other methods such as blackmail and bribery. The Blackhand Edition adds a second path that the player may take through the game, that of the operator. The main method of progression is by blackmailing police, the FBI or members of other families, and what the player does or says affects the outcome. While the enforcer's goal is to destroy the other families through brute force, the operator's is to blackmail the police chiefs of the five boroughs by finding enough "dirt" on them during missions. The player then blackmails the chiefs, enabling the bribe gauge to fill to the top for free every time the player talks to the chief, effectively allowing the player to take control of the police in that area. The police fight alongside the player's family members and can also arrest or kill rival family members. The path of the operator also grants the player additional tactical abilities that are not open to the enforcer, such as enhanced and regenerating health, the ability to call in the four-man hit squad twice as often, enhanced crew damages and health, ability to plant car bombs and make instant stealth kills, and reduced price on bribing on the police and FBI.Show more

it contains the final performance of Marlon Brando. The game is one of the best use of a licensed game by making us a background character to the plot of the movie.

The great movie, the great game adaptation. Now you can play it only if you have a DVD. We need this game on a game platform like GOG! This game must survive! :)

Never get bored. Tired of missions? Do an assassination. Tired of mission and assassinations? Extort some businesses. Tired of all that? Practise mastering the soggy 1940's suspension and search for collectibles. A great example of an open world, gta style game and a perfect use of the license and music. Weave in and out of the movie's plot and help Michael at all the important points in his rise. I played on the wii, which added some fun to beating somebody with a bat, or aiming for a head shot, but I'm happy to play with a controller.
Yeah it may have been a questionable GTA clone, but this was in the golden era of GTA and it was a solid competitor. I spent so many hours on this on the PS2 it's unreal; despite how questionable it is to make a game based on The Godfather, the atmosphere was impeccable. Please!

Hollywood Monsters
Hollywood MonstersHollywood Monsters is an adventure game by the Spanish developer Pendulo Studios which was originally released in 1997.

The game received an indirect sequel in 2011 known internationally as The Next Big Thing and in Spain as Hollywood Monsters 2. Its style is reminiscent of Lucasarts adventure games like Grim Fandango.[2] The iOS release was localised for English, French, German, Spanish and Italian
