In previous versions of The Godfather, as you earned respect you would get points that you could allocate to basic attributes like fighting, shooting, and speed. One of the most interesting changes that we saw is the reworked skill system. On top of that there are also five new hit missions, six new venues, two new vehicles, a fuel truck that can be rigged with a car bomb to produce massive explosions, a new "weapon wheel" to make it easier to choose your weapon on the fly, a completely reworked character development system, a brand-new family to contend with, and the ability to call in a "hit squad" to back you up in a fight.
#THE GODFATHER PS3 VS PS2 FULL#
In addition to the full story from the original versions of The Godfather, this game includes all of the upgrades and additions from the Xbox 360 version. There's more to the game than the new control scheme, though. The Blackhand controls work only for hand-to-hand combat, and the rest of the game uses the familiar control style of previous versions of The Godfather. Of course, the Sixaxis controller doesn't have the same range of motion as the Wii Remote, so the extent to which you can control your character using motion alone is limited. After playing the Wii version of the game, we were surprised at how remarkably similar the controls felt when playing the PlayStation 3 version (at least for those few actions). You do this by actually moving the controller around.
When you grab an enemy, you can use the Sixaxis controller to swing your opponent left and right, shove him backward, or even smash his face with a hard head-butt. The Godfather: Don's Edition adds a good amount of content to make it more than just a simple port.īeyond the visuals, the most apparent difference between this version of the game and previous versions is the Blackhand control scheme.
That, combined with the sharp graphics, makes The Godfather on the PlayStation 3 worth a second (or at this point maybe even a third) look. Don's Edition not only includes all of the extra content found in the Xbox 360 version of the game, but also features a healthy dose of new content as well as a redesigned control scheme that takes advantage of the motion-sensing features of the Sixaxis controller. However, it's more than just a quick port.
Despite the addition of a subtitle, The Godfather: Don's Edition is basically the same Godfather game that has already been released on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC, and Xbox 360. Don't put away your brass knuckles and Molotov cocktails just yet, because The Godfather is returning once again, this time on the PlayStation 3.
