IGN's score is in:

I'll be interested to see what Gamespot and Gamespy have to say.

7.9 for those that don't want to read the actual review.

Seems like the main gripe is the lack of Pacino and it doesn't follow the movie narrative perfectly. But if I wanted that I would go watch the movie. Everything about the gameplay sounds great and I'm picking this up tomorrow at Frys or CC.

Michael being left out/altered is shitty since he's my favorite part of the film, but what were they trying to negotiate with Pacino, the rights to his likeness? I wonder because Pacino now sounds like a completely different person when compared to Pacino circa The Godfather, at least to me.

The Godfather completely loses the flow of the movie. When special, moving scenes are re-created, the game doesn't deliver the same flair, style or feel from the movie. There are several times when the game tries to re-create pivotal moments in the movie and it fails.

Yeah...

looks like gamespot thought it was decent:

a rare occasion where gamespot gives a higher score than ign.

IGN didn't like the fact that the game didn't follow the movie narrative perfectly, while Gamespot didn't seem to mind.

Sucks that Pacino isn't in it, but you shouldn't deduct points because of that. I mean, they got pretty much everybody else, and it's not like EA didn't try to get him.

I'm glad it's not bombing...however i'm going to wait for the 360 version.

Good God this game is hard. I keep dying constantly in gunfights. Fun as hell though.
