In a note sent to
investors, EA announced release dates for The Godfather: The Game on PS2, PC, and Xbox: March 21st for
North America and March 24th for Europe. The release only mentioned "later in 2006" for the 360 and PSP, however.It's nice to know that the 360 version wasn't cancelled, but we're curious as to what updates to the game will be made when the next-gen and portable versions are finally ready to be released, presumably before the end of this year.
To further celebrate the announcement (or non-announcement) of release dates, check out a few new screenshots to wet your whistle.

It's clear to me this is happening for two reasons;-
a) Publishers are waiting for a greater install base of Xbox 360's to maximise sales of games. Re: Ubisoft with SC:DA yesterday.
b) To give developers more time to get the best out of the hardware.
Personally, I don't see this as a bad thing. I've heard this from the horses mouth on one occasion too. Given some of the disappointment surrounding other cross-gen developed titles and having invested in my 360 already, I'd rather they take the time to make that investment worth while ;-)

Yeah, #1, this isn't such a bad thing. At least it makes us feel like we're getting a SLIGHTLY different game than everyone else.
Besides, I like it when they delay the titles that I'm only margianlly interested in. Gives em a chance to fine tune it so they can be an unexpected good time between the games you're really looking forward to.

OMFG no one buy this game it will be S##T.Its EA for god's sake i mean every movie game they make is total balls!!!

Actually I thought it was fairly decent having seen the current gen version. They're certainly putting a lot of work into making it authentic.
Couldn't comment on EA movie licenses in general as haven't played many of them but Ubi did a good job on King Kong recently thus the bar has been raised.

the godfather team begins working on 360 in a few weeks, the good news for you 360 owners is that you will get a shitload of extra content where all of us non 360 owners wont. the 360 is a 1.5 version, dont sleep its going to be sick.
