The Godfather is a strategy and management game where you become part of the Corleone family, becoming Don Vito's new right-hand man. As second-in-command to the Godfather, you're the one who has to take care of all the family's dirty business and preserve the family's honor and respect in New York.
The game development in The Godfather is the standard for this genre: you go along buying new territories, leveling up buildings, and fighting against rival families to get money. The most important building in the game is the mansion, your operations base, where you manage the rest of your properties.
Don Vito Corleone also gives you missions to complete that provide you with a bit of extra income. Ideally you'll use your intelligence and wit to earn money, but at times you'll need to take a more violent tack. In these cases, it's best to have a few good hitmen.
The Godfather is a traditional strategy and management game that may not offer anything new in terms of gameplay, but does let you enjoy the Godfather license on Android for the first time. Plus the game's graphics are outstanding.
