Well I played the Godfather II for another 2 hours today and finally got the full 1000 points from the game, so that makes an additional 550 points to my gamerscore today. I started to play The Chronicles of Riddick but wasn't too impressed by it so far, perhaps it will warm up when I play further into it.

I have never seen the Godfather films, but this game (Godfather II) inspired me to go out and purchase the trilogy. The graphics are nowhere near fantastic, and there are a handful of Sandbox games out on the market that would beat the Godfather II hands down on the graphics front, but the sound was awesome and the gameplay did not slack at all. In fact I find it hard these days to find games with gameplay that will keep me playing until I have completed a game 100%, and usually I drift into other games quickly, but this game was one of those magnificent few that held me up until the last gunshot! The secrets and collectibles were just the right amount, and were not too difficult to find, nor too easy. The amount of different execution moves available added an extra zing to the gameplay, and the story-line coupled with the maintaining of crime-rings made a splendid story-based Sandbox game. Keep making them like this! My rating - 85%.
