 Not the full version, but fun. Dec 30, 2009
My nephew and I were comparing notes. He has this game for 1 of the full blown systems. The PSP version is missing a lot of stuff, but, it is still enjoyable. I finished it in a week. PLayed it a few more times right after that, just to do different things.

One of the better PSP games out there. Mar 28, 2007
I gotta say that I really enjoyed this game. I played it non-stop for 10 hours and completed both modes of the game! The story mode was great as it puts you right in the middle of one of the best movies ever made. However, the real surprise in this game is the Mob Wars mode. Mob Wars is basically a very light strategy card game mixed with some third-person shooter action. During the first phase of Mob Wars action you are dealt cards that have many effects. Some cards lower your heat with the cops, some raise your fortification to other families, and some allow you to steal money from other families as well as many other things as well. Once you get your cards you play them based on your play style and then take your beef to the streets where the real business is carried out. Once you defeat the rival families your become the Don of New York! At first the Mob Wars side of the game was a little weird, but once I firgured it out I dominated the city in no time! It also if you play the Mob Wars side of things while your playing Story Mode to unlock weapons, weapon upgrades and character skill points. This game is a must buy in, but definitely rent it if you don't. Happy gaming!!

 Leave the game. Take the cannoli. Jan 02, 2007
"Godfather: Mob Wars" gets full marks for atmosphere, but after a fun start the game gets bogged down by a clumsy turn-based interface and repetitive level design.
The idea is a good one: you play a young street hood named Aldo, who is eager to rise through the ranks of the Corleone family after his father is murdered for his loyalty to Don Vito. The game takes Aldo through the Godfather movie's most famous set-pieces, from the murder of Salozzo to the baptism finale, all the while coming up with clever ways to place the gamer at the heart of the action. Whether you're planting a gun for Michael Corleone, or assassinating Don Barzini on the steps of the courthouse, you will feel truly immersed in the action.
The presentation is impressive, with crisp and detailed graphics (for the characters at least), an excellent soundtrack and unlockable film clips adding to the atmosphere. The relentless cut-scenes can be a bit exhausting, however, and after the initial wave of excitement it has to be said that the lack of gameplay depth becomes evident.
The main bulk of the game is made up of third-person shooting missions, in which you are given various Grand Theft Auto-style objectives to complete. These are often enjoyable, especially when you get the hang of shooting, which involves making use of walls and crates as cover before firing off a volley of bullets. There is also not too much of an emphasis on stealth, which means that if you make good use of cover you can get away with shooting on sight, which is always more fun.
But the gameplay quickly unravels after the first few missions, when you are introduced to the "Mob Wars" sub-game. The turn-based system of "Mob Wars" involves playing cards, recruiting gangsters and extorting rackets across the city while fending off the four other crime families. But despite the window-dressing, the main content still involves running around, hiding behind crates and shooting gangsters to gain more territory. Even worse, you can get rid of an entire family's territories in one swoop by blowing up their compound, which is actually far easier than ploughing through the city's rackets one by one. Once you work out where the enemies are hiding in each compound - not difficult as all four are identical - it doesn't take long to beat the "Mob Wars" half of the game.
The rest of "Story Mode" also develops some frustrating flaws as you progress. The camera is incredibly annoying, getting stuck behind walls and refusing to show you who is riddling you with bullets. Bad clipping and faulty targeting also crop up - on one occasion I had to kill a policeman whose head and arms were sticking out of a staircase. The missions can also feel a bit rushed sometimes, particularly as they sometimes involve getting from point A to point B just to get to the next cut-scene. I don't mind linear gaming, but when the mission area is a straight road that you cannot divert from, there's clearly a problem.
Ultimately "The Godfather: Mob Wars" is a disappointing attempt to tag on a turn-based conceit to a heavily diluted version of the console game. It would have been better to emphasise the "Mob Wars" side of things with a more complex system and better missions. There is some fun to be had, whether it's silently garotting guards on your way to a horse beheading or throwing Molotov cocktails into a warehouse full of mobsters, but it's too short-lived to be a lasting experience.

Best Game Ever on the PSP Dec 14, 2006
The Godfather Mob Wars let's you play as the inside man between the scenes. Compared to the console the only big difference is not driving in the PSP version and the new added strategic version. First of all to say there is both the action part and stategy part not just strategy. The action part is great gameplay and a lot of shooting. The strategy part is very boring but simple. Overall the game is great.

 Great game, but short Nov 04, 2006
Fans of the movie should enjoy this game. It puts you in the movie, participating in many of the famous scenes from a background perspective. If you ever wondered how they got the horse's head in the guys bed, this game offers a solution.
My only disappointment is that it was relatively short, only took about three days to finish and was somewhat easy once you learn a few tricks (like let the guys come to you instead of rushing a bunch of guys).
