In it you get to meet major characters like Don Vito Corleone, Michael Corleone, Sonny and Tom Hagen. This game has a very close relationship to the movie and doesn't deviate from the plot very much. You play as a character (who's default name is Aldo Trapani, so we'll call him that) who's wiseguy father was killed by Don Emilio Barzini of the Barzini family (one of the strongest families in New York City) in 1936, fast forward nine years to 1945, he is a young hoodlum (probably in his 20s) who ends up working his way up from being a simple enforcer for the family to being the Don of the whole city. Its about the same things the film is (money, power, love, revenge and betrayal). Before Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas was released in 1990, The Godfather was seen as the definitive portrayal of life in the Mafia.
Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather is seen as one of the greatest movies ever made and one of the best books ever written by most people.
