Well, it was with this in mind that I started to play The Godfather: Blackhand Edition. Given that this is the first "me-too" Grand Theft Auto port to hit the Wii, and that it has already been spotted on three other systems, I was reluctant to open my heart to what I was sure was a disappointing title. However, The Godfather has proved me wrong (and entertained me along the way).

After playing about with the remarkably detailed character creation tool, I leapt straight into the shady, grimy world of the most infamous First Family of crime. The world of the Corleone family has been recreated on the Wii with surprising skill, with superior voice-acting and reasonable graphics. The textures are quite well presented, and while the character models aren't as detailed as on other next-gen systems, they suffice to create a believable world. Combined with a brilliant orchestral score, the atmosphere in The Godfather is as dark and developed as in the original movies.
