EA is bringing The Godfather, a game based on the classic move of the same name, to console and the PC. This could be one of the coolest games of the year, if EA can pull it off. GameSpot has a preview of the console version of the game, which should be very similar to the PC version.

From the preview The Godfather sounds like a somewhat modified GTA style game. Games based on movies are tricky to pull off, they have to be faithful enough to the movie to keep fans happy, and different enough to not catch flack for being unoriginal. We will just have to wait and see how well EA ddid when the game reviews show up in the next few weeks.
