... Did we say "putting an elderly tailor's head through a plate-glass window"? We meant "having a chat with him." ... Dammit. See, this is why we could never do this professionally.

Those animations are barftastic.

I concur. I liked it, up until that point.

I'm really impressed with the voice-acting in this video. I hope all of the characters sound this great. If so, kudos.
Yeah, don't quit your day job Justin. Though, after watching your Rock Band performance at CES, you could have a future as the front man for an awesome hair band someday...

Am I the only one who really likes the ea logos before games. This one is especially cool.

Hmm, this game is looking interesting. The first one was pretty fun, except that it just got repetive after a while I guess. It could have been the constant looping of that song from the Godfather. That nearly drove me crazy. I hope they don't do the same in this one.

Who knew blow-up dolls could take so much punishment without popping.

Since I'm in class and only partially paying attention, I thought the headline read "Godfather II video takes closer look at abortion", and my thought process was, "Great. Another mediocre sandbox...So they finally made a game where I can punch a pregnant lady, huh?"

I'm so glad they're porting this game to the N64.

Scarface engine with a face-lift and a fresh set of paint? Looks horrible.

It looks worse than Saints Row 2, and that's saying something.

Dead Rising for the Wii looks better than this. Also, since when can you headbutt someone and have that much blood fly everywhere and then disappear in 2 seconds?

I don't mind the way it looks. Sure, the visuals lack the punch of GTA4, but they've got a decent range of color, and the Don's view is more compelling than the flat map seen in the previous Godfather game.
Over all, having gone back and played the original very recently, I was impressed with it as a title. It really is a sandbox game, where the story is almost an after thought, or perhaps a set of unique challenges to give you something to do when you're tired of just running around and taking over businesses.
In many ways, it gave me more to do (and more rewards for doing it) than GTA4* and at the end of the day, being rewarded, feeling like I've accomplished something, is a strong factor in why I play games.
*I enjoyed GTA4 quite a lot, but largely for it's story, its clean controls, and what the little bits that hint at future changes in the GTA play system... not so much for its core gameplay and sandbox nature.

I can stick with subpar graphics if this is a good game. I'm not sure if it will be... but I'm a sucker for mobster style games. It does look like absolute crap though. Looks moderately better than GTA:SA for the PC.

Sawed-off shotguns? Man... I remember the days when we used to have sawn-off shotguns in games... What happened to all that lovely grammar?
