The Godfather comes to the Wii
So you say that you already played the Playstation or XBOX version, here is the official press release, and then I will comment:
“Electronic Arts announced The Godfather: Blackhand Edition is set for release on Wii. The Godfather: Blackhand Edition gives an enhanced combat experience with motion-based Blackhand Control by integrating Nintendo’s innovative Wii Remote controller.
Take over the Big Apple in this fully interactive, open-world game based on the classic film by Paramount Pictures and the critically-acclaimed book by Mario Puzo.
The game offers brand new ways to go from Soldier to Don as you gain control of the streets of New York. Follow the path of an Enforcer or Operator–each with its own unique perks and abilities to earn. Now you can chat up specific characters to get the skinny on dirty cops, take down two additional revised compounds of rival Families, execute five new contract hits, and call in larger Corleone Hit Squads when the going gets tough.
For hyper-intuitive Blackhand Control in The Godfather: Blackhand Edition, gamers use gestures with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to really beat down your opposition or point directly at the screen using the Wii Remote for pinpoint firearm accuracy.”
I have played the Playstation version. The Wii version for me has yet to be played. Even though I am a HUGE Godfather fan, I may pass on this. The game is intriguing though because of the fighting style used with the Wii remote, so I think I shall rent it to check it out.
