Finally, I got to play a real mafia game. I did like Mafia, but it isn't the same as this wonderful game, The Godfather. As we all know, The Godfather is based on the film with the same title from 1972 but both the movie and the game plays out in New York from 1945. Many of the voices that were in the movie. We should give and honour the great Marlon Brando who gave his voice to the game before he passed away in 2004. But for now, I hope you will enjoy this game and get use of this hard worked out walkthrough. Enjoy! Oh, and if you have any questions, suggestions or anything else about The Godfather, just send me an e-mail at the adress below. -------------------------------------------------------------- GAME INFORMATION Title: The Godfather Developer: Electronic Arts Release Dates: 03/24/06 EU, 03/21/06 US Rating: M for Mature Format: PlayStation 2 -------------------------------------------------------------- =================================================== --------------------------------------------------- =- C O P Y R I G H T L A W -= --------------------------------------------------- =================================================== This FAQ/Walkthrough is Copyright (c) 2006 by Mikael Eklund, Geezguy.

I have added everything in the beginning and to the walkthrough. Then I have written up to the mission "A Grave Situation". I will have the walkthrough done by the next version... ========================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------- =- P L A Y I N G T H E G O D F A T H E R -= ---------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================== ===================== Welcome to the Family ===================== After a life of small crimes you have now become a member of the most powerful criminal organization in the United States - the Corleone family. You must now put in some respect and rise the grades in New York's underworld. As a member of the Corleone family it is your thing to get a good reputation in the fight of the domination over the city and the other families in New York (Tattaglia, Stracci, Cuneo and Barzini). Learn when it is time for talk and when you should use violence to get what you want. Take care of your cards, and you will get the money and respect you need to advance. Who knows, maybe you can be the Don over the whole New York? ======== Controls ======== --------- | ON FOOT | --------------------------------------------------- |Move Character | Left analog stick | --------------------------------------------------- |Rotate Camera, manually | | |aim when you've pressed | Right analog stick | |the L2 button | | --------------------------------------------------- |Draw/hide weapon | D-Pad up/down | --------------------------------------------------- |Reload | D-pad up | --------------------------------------------------- |Switch weapon | D-pad left/right | --------------------------------------------------- |Lock on target | L1 button | --------------------------------------------------- |Fire weapon | R1 button | --------------------------------------------------- |Free aim | L2 button | --------------------------------------------------- |Speak/buy/steal vehicle | Triangle button | --------------------------------------------------- |Crouch | O button | --------------------------------------------------- |Sprint | X button pressed | --------------------------------------------------- |Take cover against a | Square Button | |wall/block | | --------------------------------------------------- |Jump over object | Triangle button | --------------------------------------------------- |Execute | R2 (when you can) | --------------------------------------------------- |Throw explosives | Right analog stick | | | then D-pad up/down | --------------------------------------------------- |Pause Menu | Start button | --------------------------------------------------- |Notebook | Select button | --------------------------------------------------- -------------- | INSIDE A CAR | --------------------------------------------------- |Get in a car | Triangle Button | --------------------------------------------------- |Steer the vehicle | Left analog stick | --------------------------------------------------- |Horn | L3 button | --------------------------------------------------- |Gas | X button pressed | --------------------------------------------------- |Brake/back | Square or L1 button | --------------------------------------------------- |Handbrake | O button | --------------------------------------------------- |Rotate camera | Right analog stick | --------------------------------------------------- |Look back | L2 or R3 button | --------------------------------------------------- |Switch camera | D-pad up/down | --------------------------------------------------- ========== The Police ========== The police in games like these can be very frustrating as they always tries to arrest you or kill you if you have commited a crime. Depending on which sort of crime it is, the police will use diffrent methods. 1-3 stars isn't dangerous at all, the cops will try to arrest or kill, so avoid them. 4-5 stars will get black dressed cops involved and many police cars will come after you and they will try to kill you. If you're taken into prison you can bribe the seargant a big amount of money to get free. On the street, if you're planning to rob a bank/steal a vehicle or kill someone, you want to bribe the cop that patrolls the street. When you have given him/them the money, you can commit a crime or two, but after a while, they will try to arrest you. The police officers can be seen wandering around on the sidewalks all over New York, so always keep them in mind. ================================ Threating And Grabbing Commandos ================================ In The Godfather you will have to threat people to get information, get someone to keep quiet if the civilian has seen a crime. You must also threat shop keepers to take get a share in their businesses. Aim at a character on the L1 button and press the R1 button to grab him/her. Then press the Triangle button to talk to the character. If he/she doesn't agree with you, you can threat him/her more by beat him/her up a bit, but keep an eye out on their life bar. Watch out for the family that owns the place, as they will try to kill you if you're trying to take over their businesses. As you're threating someone you'll see this bar in the top right corner of the screen: -------------------------- |||||||||||||||||||||||||||| <-- The opponent's health -------------------------- |||| ||||||||||| <-- Third field, pressed to far. -------------------------- <-- Second field, respect. <-- First field, no respect. If the bar under the opponent's life bar goes over to the third field, he/she will get furious and will try to kill you. So, press them good enough to get them to cooperate. You can use diffrent commandos while fighting with an enemy. Strangle; While you have the character grabbed, press the L3 and R3 buttons together and you will strangle the enemy. When his/her life bar goes down, he/she will die. Drag; Move the right analog stick to the direction you want to drag the character to. Throw; Move the left analog stick to the direction you want to throw the character to. Wallop; While you have a character grabbed, move the left analog stick towards a wall or object to wallop him/her against it. It will do some serious damage. ========== FBI Agents ========== The FBI agents will be displayed on the map with a yellow hat. Go to them if you want to bribe down the vendetta of the rival family you're currently in war with. The agent will then just turn the attention away from you and the vendetta will lower. The FBI agents can be found all over New York, so just search for the "yellow hat" icon on the map to locate them. ========================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------- =- T H E F A M I L I E S -= ---------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================== This is the five families in The Godfather that you will encounter, except for your own. --------- Corleones --------- Don Vito Corleone's family owns the area Little Italy on Manhatthan. Corleone's assets and businesses has been attacked lately by the rival families, but thanks to Don Vito's strong leadship the family has succeeded in keeping their territory. --------- Tattaglia --------- The Tattaglias are a bunch of thieves, and they're absolutely not to be trusted. They have their compound in Brooklyn, and if you're trying to take over New York, Brooklyn is a good place to start on. ------- Stracci ------- Stracci is a gang of psychos and they enjoy to kill. They're actually giving the mafia a bad reputation. The Straccis have their compound in New Jersey. ----- Cuneo ----- You will never survive in Hell's Kitchen if you're not tough. The Cuneos hasn't so much to boast about, but they have some prostitues here and there and a livley weaponmarket. And of course they want to keep what they have. ------- Brazini ------- The Brazinis lives in Midtown and they are some serious moneymakers. You're gonna have to work hard to take over their businesses. Because when you have alot of money, you're gonna have huge power over your territory. ========================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------- =- W A L K T H R O U G H -= ---------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================== This is the walkthrough for the game. It will guide you through all the 18 story missions with detailed tips and strategies. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== PROLOGUE =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Start a new game and watch the opening scene. After that, you'll have control of a character. Follow the instructions on the screen on how to fight the three punks in this alley. Use the L1 button to aim at an enemy. Then use the right analog stick to punch. You can only punch when you have an enemy in aim. Press the R1 button while you have an enemy in aim to grab him. Then use the right analog stick to punch. When he falls on his knees, push the left analog stick down to rise him up. While he stands up and you're grabbing him, use the left analog stick to move him around. Choose a direction with the left analog stick and release the R1 button when you have an enemy grabbed to throw him. You can block their attacks by pressing the Square button. Now, finish these punks off to trigger a unpleasant but amazing scene.... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== THE ALLEY =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx After the scene you will be with Luca Brasi. He will tell you to beat a punk up. So follow the instructions on the screen. When he's taken care of, take the other one that Luca was holding up. Beat him up by following the screen's instructions. After that you will get a new objective to go to the safehouse. So, go out to the streets and steal a vehicle and put the pedal to the metal. You will have no time-limit, so you can take it easy. It's just a training mission after all. Once there, enter the safehouse and go up the stairs to the second floor. Go through the door in front of you and press the X button in front of the green icon above the bed to display the save screen. Save the game and the mission will be completed. Mission Acomplished! ******************** Respect: 500 Money: $500 Bonus - Film Clip Unlocked ************************** Alright, answer the phone downstairs. You will get a new objective which will be to meet Luca outside. Just go through the front doors to start a scene which will start the next mission. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== THE INFORCER =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Talk to Luca once the scene is over to get some info on what to do. You're supposed to go into a shop just across the street and convince the butcher to pay the Corleones for protection. Once you get control of your character, go across the street and into the shop marked on your map. Talk to the butcher and you'll see that he mocks you, he won't pay. Now, grab him and press the Triangle button to threat him. That won't be enough, so either trash the shop a bit. Throw him out the window or smash him against the wall or crack the cash register with his head! This will get him to talk. You'll know when he's ready to talk, it's when the blue bar has crossed the green line under the butcher's health bar. Press the Triangle button when it has crossed the line to finish the deal. Follow the butcher into another room and go right up the stairs. Talk to the man with an icon above his head. You will buy his hidden racket. Go back down to the entrance of the shop and you'll see a police seargant. Bribe him with some money and he'll let you go. Remember this in the future, to bribe cops and to find businesses and hidden rackets to take over across New York. Now, exit the shop and give the money to Luca Brasi to end the mission. Mission Acomplished! ******************** Respect: 750 Money: $1,500 Bonus - Film Clip Unlocked ************************** Talk to the black dressed man with an icon above his head to get the objective to meet Paulie Gatto at the Falconite Social Club in Midtown. Save the game at the safehouse first if you want or grab a vehicle and head for the club on the spot. Once there, a scene which will start the new mission will begin... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== A GRAVE SITUATION =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== THE DON IS DEAD =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== INTENSIVE CARE =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== FIREWORKS =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== DEATH OF THE TRAITOR =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== HORSEPLAY =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== RECIPE FOR REVENGE =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== NOW IT'S PERSONAL =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== SILENT WITNESS =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== SONNY'S WAR =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== CHANGE OF PLANS =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== ORDER TO KILL =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== IT'S JUST BUSINESS =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================== BAPTISM OF FIRE =============================================== xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------- =- A S S A S S I N A T I O N M I S S I O N S -= ---------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================== ========================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------- =- M O B W A R S -= ---------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================== ========================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------- =- B U S I N E S S E S -= ---------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================== ========================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------- =- B A N K S -= ---------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================== ========================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------- =- S A F E H O U S E S -= ---------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================== ========================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------- =- W E A P O N S & U P G R A D E S -= ---------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================== The weapons in The Godfather has some very realistical sounds. And of course it's the weapons that they're using in the 40s. You can also upgrade your weapons from a 1st grade up to a 3rd grade. Just look at your map and you will be able to determine which dealer on the map who has the 1st, 2nd or 3rd upgrade. If there's only the weapons symbol on the map, then that's the 1st grade and they'll cost $100. The 2nd upgrade has the weapons symbol on it and some stars around it but it's marked with white. They'll cost around $5000. Then there's the 3rd upgrade which looks like the second upgrade but it's marked with yellow. These are the best upgrades so expect some high prices from the dealers. It can be from $250,000 up to $450,000! So be sure to save the money. Make sure that you buy the 2nd weapons upgrade as you're progressing in the game, because the enemies will get stronger. Then near the end or when you can afford it, buy the 3rd upgrade. Just always keep the upgrades in mind. The only weapons that you can't upgrade is the melee and throw weapons, they can only stay in one grade. ========================= THE FISTS ========================= ========================= THE MELEE WEAPONS ========================= ------------ Baseball Bat ------------ ----------- Night Stick ----------- -------- Leadpipe -------- ------ Wrench ------ ------- Garrote ------- ========================= THE EXPLOSIVES ========================= ----------------- Molotov Cocktails ----------------- --------- Dynamites --------- ----- Bombs ----- ========================= THE .38 SNUB NOSED ========================= -------------------------- .38 Snub Nosed (1st Grade) -------------------------- -------------------- Speacial (2nd Grade) -------------------- ---------------------------------- Saturday Night Special (3rd Grade) ---------------------------------- ========================= THE PISTOL ========================= ------------------ Pistol (1st Grade) ------------------ -------------------------------- Extended Clip Pistol (2nd Grade) -------------------------------- ----------------------------- Assassin's Pistol (3rd Grade) ----------------------------- ========================= THE MAGNUM ========================= ------------------ Magnum (1st Grade) ------------------ ---------------------------------- Extended Barrel Magnum (2nd Grade) ---------------------------------- ------------------ Python (3rd Grade) ------------------ ========================= THE SHOTGUN ========================= ------------------- Shotgun (1st Grade) ------------------- --------------------------------- Double Barrel Shotgun (2nd Grade) --------------------------------- -------------------------- Street Sweeper (3rd Grade) -------------------------- ========================== THE TOMMYGUN ========================== -------------------- Tommygun (1st Grade) -------------------- ----------------------------- Modified Tommygun (2nd Grade) ----------------------------- --------------------- Dillinger (3rd Grade) --------------------- ======================================================== -------------------------------------------------------- =- B A R B E R & T A I L O R -= -------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================== ========================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------- =- F I L M R E E L S -= ---------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================== You can find film reels throughout the game.
