Congratulations — you've been welcomed into America's most famous criminal organization, the Corleone family. More than 30 years have passed since The Godfather film carved a niche in American pop culture, but the Corleones are ready for a comeback and they want you to help — and perhaps one day even lead them. After a life of small-time jobs and petty thefts, you now have the opportunity to make a name for yourself in a big way, but first you'll have to carry out orders, earn respect and rise through the ranks using all means at your disposal. Featuring nonlinear gameplay set in the 1945-55 era of New York City and weaving scenes from the movie with original plot elements, The Godfather: The Game puts you in the Corleones' world to solve their problems using brutal violence, skillful diplomacy or a cunning mixture of both.
