20 Cult-Classics Trapped On Old Consoles

Movie tie-in games are notorious for being awful. But every now and again, a gem slips through the cracks. Goldeneye, Spider-Man 2 and Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game Of The Movie (takes breath) all spring to mind when thinking of great movie tie-ins. 

One that isn’t mentioned nearly enough is The Godfather. Set during the events of the movie, you play as Aldo Trapani, a completely original character made specifically for the game. You get to live out the events of the movie from a fresh pair of eyes, which adds a nice spin to the story. 

Not only does it follow the story, but you get to rise through the ranks of the mafia yourself and eventually become the Don of New York, adding another layer to this already packed experience. 

If you’re wondering why this game is so well-made, it’s because it was developed by EA Redwood Shores (or Visceral Games to you and me), who later went on to develop the beloved Dead Space series.
