The Godfather: Blackhand Edition (Wii) > Opinions (28)

TWRoO posted 01/05/2010, 01:51
The combat system for this is the best I have ever played with. It takes some time to get used to it as it's quite complex (first couple of hours if I got into a tricky situation I didn't do much other than repeated pummeling)

The shooting I am still getting used to, it's much better now I switched back to normal instead of inverted... I had both inverted at first as itmakes more sense for moving the camera, but now I am using free-aim more I can't have a pointer system inverted as it is just wrong..... there should have been an option to have the camera inverted except for when in free-aim mode.

To throw my 2 cents in. For controls I think Godfather is best, than Bully and than as honourable 3rd Scarface.

Scarface was better. Yeah, the graphics were better in the Godfather but the controls were best in Scarface.

@ Skorpion

Bully has better missions, but the controls in this game are way tighter. Bully couldn't even implement good IR controls, let alone Godfather's great motion gestures.

Just picked this up because of the gamestop buy 2 get 1 sale. Played it about an hour, wasn't hugely impressed. Enjoying Bully much more at the moment but I'll give it another chance when I'm done.

@naruto - I believe it's a port

WTF, a harry potter pic in this game's section? Anyways, this game needs to be around 200k. Is this a port? If it is then these sales are ok but if it is not then I would say 250k should be nice.

this is an awesome game. Beating people up with the remote & nunchunk is a lot of fun :) and the hit missions are also great. I own it, so at least 1 sold copy in others :)

I think this game is on par with GTA IV to be honest.

Aye, more folks should give this game a chance. It's such fun choosing how you want to beat the hell out of someone. Personally, I preferred choking as opposed to beatings.

I'm not a graphics junkie, but some parts of the game looked pretty rough. I hope the rumored sequel is released and they put some effort into making sure it's not an eyesore.

I wonder what the Europe and Japan numbers are. Combined this game should be able to reach 200k, which is still bad, but ehh. yeah.

Games like this and Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 prove that EA actually has some talented developers on their payroll.

This game is by far my most played Wii game.
I've clocked up 80+ hours just being a jerkoff and garroting strangers - although, granted many of those hours may have been my friends testing out the Wii to see if they wanted one and getting a bit addicted.
Still. This held the crown of my favourite game on the Wii for many months throughout the drought. Only now that I have Galaxy has it finally been topped.

Sad to see it only made 80K sales. Deserved so much more. But let's hope it's given a second chance with all these Godfather 2 rumours flying around.

the reason this game sold so bad is becuase its yet another old game ported from the ps2... if it was orginally launched on the wii.. sales would of been atleast 300k as starcraftmaniac suggested

StarcraftManiac posted 18/07/2007, 03:09
God... This game should have sold 300k AT LEAST! Great game! Really enjoyed it! But the PAL numbers aren't added! So it could have done like 100k Tops ...
