![]() The name is especially apt because not only is this game the sequel to the 2006 game which was based on the first movie, but it is also a gamification of the second movie. And so it was that I sat down to play Godfather II. In short, I can barely be considered to be a The Godfather fan.īut when the editor tells you to review a game, you have to at least give it a cursory examination, if only to better help you conjure credible reasons for why you should not review it. IMDB users however, give the third movie a pitiful 7.6 - a towering achievement for most movies, but a dismal failure for a The Godfather movie. (46% in Amiga Format magazine, by the way).Īlthough it is widely considered to be vastly inferior to its two prequels, I still feel warmly towards The Godfather: Part III (movie), since it was the first ever press screening or première I ever attended. ![]() Indeed, I only saw the third movie because I was taken to a screening by US Gold to celebrate the launch of the 1992, best forgotten, Amiga version. When the game hit my desk, I was less than enthusiastic - I have not seen the first two movies, nor had I played Mob Wars or Don's Edition or indeed the Wii's Blackhand Edition.

The laughable The Dark Knight places sixth though, so maybe their opinion is nothing to go on. ![]() But, and get this, The Godfather: Part II places third, immediately behind it in the eyes of IMDB readers the world over. It gets an incredible 9.1 on IMDB user ratings, placing it as the number two movie, but this time behind The Shawshank Redemption. The Godfather movies are a cultural phenomenon, many people who do not think Citizen Kane is the greatest movie ever made think that The Godfather is. ![]()
