A great first step on Wii, as it uses more than 25 gestures, IR aiming, and has a ton of features above the original game in the form of new items, missions, gameplay modes (favors and blackmailing specifically), and RPG elements. More important than any

You should only be considering the Godfather on Wii if you haven’t played the game before since the new additions don’t drastically change the game. The Wii version does share all of the new content found in the PS3 version so if you are interested

focused on an “organized crime” frame of mind for a console. Overall: 8.4 The Godfather: Blackhand Edition is a pretty fun game that offers many unique features never before seen on a system title.

A good port of a pretty good game, which controls very decently with the Wii controller. That’s not quite a glowing recommendation, but this game does deserve some respect.

While the graphics fit the Wii version a lot better than the 360 or PS3 versions, the controls aren’t really worth the purchase.

I liked it. That may have a lot to do with the fact that I'm a huge fan of the film. However, as I played through the entire game I kept muttering to myself about what I would have done differently. It's as if EA read my mind and took those recommendation

Games such as Wii Sports and Excite Truck have shown that the Wii remote can be functional, but both were kind of niche uses. Once the novelty wears thin on such titles, can the controller benefit your Joe Average action game?
