Not quite the Don of sandbox games

4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100

Godfather blackhand edition is the new updated godfather the game for the nintendo Wii.You see yourself as a newcomer to the Corleone family and you work your way up the family to finally become the Don.Missions vary from shooting to driving , but all good fun.There are plenty of side missions and wii take well over 30 hours to complete them all.Some missions cross with the first film with you included into them.The highlights are good shooting missions and taking over business's,the main thing that saves the game and improves on the other versions are the use of the wii remote from using the baseball bat to grabbing some and pushing them off a building work really well and make you feel more in the game.But the game has a few negative points that stop it reaching a higher score as some of the other sandbox.There's a lack of choice in cars available (about 10), the graphics aren't great in areas of town doesn't quite feel like new york(more detailed in driver parallel lines) and overall graphics could of been better.And lack of other vehicle's like boats and planes are disappointing.But good atmosphere and has the godfather feeling about it.But still great fun, just not perfect.
