In 1972, with the release of the first Godfather film, the world became obsessed with criminal organizations, family-run mafias and delving into complex personalities associated with a life of crime. Today we can see the ripple effect with the success of the Grand Theft Auto, a series that obviously takes a few pointers from the prestigious 70s classic. In 2006,when the first Godfather game hit store shelves, no one was surprised at its creation. Despite many critics' preconceived predictions, the first game was quite ambitious and successfully tapped into the heart and soul of the Godfather universe without taking the extra step towards true greatness. Unfortunately The Godfather 2 plays it a little too safe, and despite introducing an abundance of new and interesting ideas, it never innovates past its comfort zone to establish itself as an unforgettable Mafioso masterpiece."
