While the added muscle along with the Don's view (a strategy themed overview) is an intriguing addition, through which you manage your crew (along with businesses, monitor rival families and racketeering operations), the idea is undone by weak presentation and poor execution. The laughable AI offers little resistance and even if they do, your rechargeable health meter ensures you are able to withstand just about everything thrown your way. Approach strangers, gather information, eliminate target, eliminate opposing Don, rinse and repeat ad nauseam. Apart from side quests the entire game is built around this setup.


Together you track down opposing Mafiosi in a bid to gain access to their respective compounds, where the Don can be tracked down and eliminated. Their skill sets include a Medic, Engineer, Arsonist, Safecracker and Demolitions expert. To do this, Dominic is able to recruit soldiers with varying talents to assist him. You assume the role of Dominic, a key member of the Corleone family, who has been tasked with stamping his authority on the criminal underworld, while rising through the ranks to become the don of the family.

Despite the unquestionable talents of acclaimed developers across the gaming spectrum, history can only point her bony fingers at a handful of licensed titles with variably positive responses. I have always viewed licensed games with a degree of scepticism.

Let me start by setting the record straight.
