Review: The Godfather: Mob Wars (PSP)

If you loved The Godfather for PS2, then you can easily pass on the PSP adaptation. Rather than running/driving around the city and taking over businesses, they've put in a turn based strategy mode (Mob Wars) to accomplish this. You do a few missions and are introduced to that. I beat the Mob Wars section of the game in about 3 hours of only half paying attention. This powered by character up enough that story mode was a joke.

There's a single difficulty level, you can't skip cut scenes, there's nothing to do when you beat the game other than replay. All driving was removed and you can't customize your character. I did have an edge though, from playing this game on PS2. All buildings have the same layout and I knew the control set up.

I'm just glad I rented this instead of buying it. Any game that you can beat the snot out of in 5 hours, then has no replay value, isn't worth more than $5.

3 out of 5 [Murloc Eyes] if you haven't played any of the new Godfather games on another system, otherwise 2 out of 5. And only because the strategy game starts to get really interesting right before you win and can't play it anymore.
