This thread as the title suggests is all about Godfather The Game, the greatest crime game and I think the best game released on the XBOX. If youve never played it, you just dont know what youre missing. But Im sure after watching these videos youll be on youre way to the used video game store to try and snag a copy. This game was such a hit as opposed to offering backward support M$/EA released the exact same game for 360, the cash etc is in all the same spots. I have yet to find a difference in the actual game between the 2 releases.
If you have any trainers/ videos, easter eggs or cheat codes please post them.
Update: I am slowly switching the videos over to H264, with much better video quality. Enjoy
Edit
See posts below. New videos recorded on PC (1080 HD) Everything is identical to the XBOX (and PS2, 360) versions.
Video Guide
Missions- Music: Tristania Cease to Exist
These are key to getting made and moving up in the ranks. Also a good source of cash. Most of the missions are based on parts of the movie.
Hits- Music: Slayer: Angel of Death Live in Berkley
Contract hits earn you cash and respect. Meet the bonus condition and earn extra cash and respect
Taking Down Shops/Execution Styles- Music: Death Audio- Place The Blame
One of the funnest (IMO) aspects of the game. Every merchant has a weakspot. Some like the butcher Emilio smashing the register open with his head does the trick. Others are a little ballsier, like whacking an employee in front of the merchant , or knee-capping him. You hit that weakspot and you get more cash every week in protection and more respect.
Robbing Banks- Music: Dream Evil: Book Of Heavy Metal Live in Stockholm
Another fun part of the game, and a good way to make some quick cash to buy safehouses, or weapon upgrades. This money is yours, like a true mobster you hold out on most of your scores. Don dont know, Don dont get a cut
Hells Kitchen is the only region with no bank. Midtown has 2 ($50000 and $20000). Jersey has 1 ($20000). Little Italy has 2 ($4000 and $8000) and Brooklyn has 1 ($5000)
Action On The Side- Music: Orphaned Land: From Broken Vessels
Robbing the other families and lesser non Mafia gangs is a good way to make unreported income. These all are recurring throughout the game until the end.
Show Me The Money
Throughout the game there are lots of 1 time only cash grabs. This money is only available at the times shown in the videos and will not recur like the Action On The Side money.
Part 1 - Training Missions($3000)- Music: Craddle Of Filth: Under Pregnant Skies/ Hell Awaits(Slayer cover)
Part 2 - Party at Rosas($5000)- Music: Judas Priest - Burn In Hell
Part 3 - Whack-out Paulie(up to $20000)- Music: Slayer: 213
Part 4 - Horse Head in the Bed($20000)- Music: Metalica: Creeping Death
Part 5 - Sonnys War ($10000) Music: Opeth- When Live In London
Part 6 - Death To The Traitor ($10000) Music: Graveworm
Warehouses/Hubs- Music: Death Audio
Very fun to take down, if you want a challenge do it early with crummy weapons and very little upgrades. Good luck. Or you can go in Rambo style, get some weapons upgraded, upgrade your health and shooting, then go in. Its pretty much a given that you will start a mob war taking down a warhouse or hub
Compounds- Music: Opeth: Bleak Live in London
If you want to be Don you gotta take down the compounds. Go Rambo or go home on these. Take down a compound and take control of that region and get loads of respect. Die before blowing up the first building and theres a good chance you just lost a mob war
Weapons- Music: Testament- For The Glory Of
Weapon upgrades gain you respect and are essential to takeing down warhouses and compounds.
You can buy level 2 and level 3 upgrades for each weapon.
You can get up grades for the 38 in Little Italy. The 45 in Brooklyn. Tommy Gun in Midtown.
44 Magnum in Hells Kitchen and the shotgun in Jersey (you can also buy a level 3 shotgun upgrade
in the Little Italy Industrial Park).
Bribes- Music: Siebenburgen: Enter Omega
Pay off the G to win mob wars and buy cops to break the law without worry of being busted.
Safehouses- Music: Death Audio- Soundwave #2
Buy safehouses for a place to lie low, run to after robbing a bank or truck, save your game and restock your weapons.
Whacking The Heads Of The 5 Families
Heres where you get the chance to kill the man (Don Barzini) who killed your father and move up to Underboss

Sounds a bit like Saints Row for 360. Can you make any comments on the gameplay, loading times, controls?

The controls are a little different than what most are probably used to but after 20 minutes or so youll get the hang of it. Way funner than Saints Row. THE GREATEST crime game bar none ever made. Pretty much every review says the same. Only fault I can recall ever being found with it was that EA dumped an obscene amount of money into making it. And it shows. If you havent played it you just dont know what youre missing. Huck guys off roof tops, kneecap people, beat protection money out of people. Throw people into bakery ovens. Its an insane game and pretty much tied with RE4 as my favourite game of all time

Godfather is BACK. Ive rewritten my Win7 patch for Godfather and am now recording replacement vids using Godfather on PC
For those who used my previous patch Ive fixed the random crash bug. It now runs exatly like it would on a classic 32bit XP machine (eventhough Im running a X64 7 machine)

Godfather Hi Def Video Guide
IF YOU LIKE THE MUSIC SUPPORT THE BAND BEYOND YOUTUBE ADS, BUY AN ALBUM, GO TO A CONCERT.
Missions: Burn In HELL Bruno-Music:Unholy Trinity(Epica, The Classical Conspiracy 2009) Indigo(Epica, The Divine Conspiracy 2007) Burn In Hell (Judas Priest With Ripper Owens, Jugulator 1997)
This Mission occurs right after you get made and is very personal. Bruno Tattaglia had your girlfriend kidnapped and personally killed her. As such Bruno MUST DIE. To complete this mission you need to chuck Bruno into an oven and make him BURN IN HELL!
COMPOUNDS:
Take down the compounds and the Verona Warehouse(Little Italy) to take control of the city. You need to knock off all componds and Verona Warehouse to become "Don Corleone". Its good to go in before youve maxed out your Health and have a few un-used Skill Points to use in a pinch to restore Health. Make sure you are loaded up like Rambo before going in, you WILL use lots of ammo taking down compounds. Also buy off a cop before hitting a compound. Dont worry about having Bombs. Theres a bomb waiting for you in each building at every compound. You WILL start 1, possibly 2 Mob Wars when hitting a compound. So dont die or you WILL LOSE the Mob War. Always hit the far building first. It has less men and will win the Mob War you started just making your way to the compound. The other building (closest to entrance) has a safe upstairs, and its always in the room shown in the videos (XBOX and PC for sure, and I would assume PS2 and 360 as well)
Cuneo Compound-Music: Omerta(Lamb Of God, Killadelphia-2005 Digital Repack) and ....Pir Threontai(Rotting Christ, AEALO-2009)
Go in heavy. Use the barrels to your advantage. Molotovs come in very handy, and dont be shy using them.
Barzini Compound-Music: Walk With Me In Hell(Lamb Of God, Sacrament-2006), In Your Words(Lamb Of God, Wrath Limited Edition-2009)
This is the HARDEST compound to take down. More guys, weapons do more damage etc. You wanna be sneaky on this one. Stay low, stay slow. I hit it right after Cuneo, was geared up went in fast to start and almost died, DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO (bet you heard that a million times from Mom and Dad growing up lol)
Tattaglia Compound-Music: Fail(Orphaned Land, All Is One Limited Edition2013), The Reckoning(Graveworm, Diabolical Figures 2009)
This is the easiest compound. The guards weapons do almost no damage, even a shotgun blast at close range does bupkis. Unlike the other 3 compounds this one you have to fight your way up a road to get to the actual compound. There will be 3 sets of cars blocking the way with guards behind em. So blow up the cars then haul ass. Either they will be dead or dazed and easy pickings. Once past the cars there will be guys hiding so stay low and stay slow and blow em away with your fav gun.
Verona Warehouse-Music:Inner Sanctum(Behemoth, The Apostasy 2007) The Reign Ov Shemu-Hor(Behemoth, Demigod 2004)
This is the "Compound" of Little Italy. Take it over to take control of Little Italy. There is more guards here than any other warehouse, but theyre pussies. Blow the gas pumps and open up on any survivors. As you make your way around to the entrance blow up some cars to knock down or kill the guards at the front. Any survivors blow em away. You will start a Mob War taking down the warehouse so dont die. And dont bomb it, you need to extort the racket boss to take control. Smack him around and show him whos boss.
Stracci Compound-Music: Insurrection (Lamb Of God, Resolution Limited Edition 2012) Terminally Unique(Lamb Of God, Resolution Limited Edition 2012)
This one is almost identical to the Cuneo Compound. Go in with molotovs stocked. Blow up the barrels and cars, whack out the bums as they burn. Bomb the buildings and claim Jersey for own
Once youve taken over all 4 compounds and the Verona Warehouse you get bumped up to Don Corleone.
