Gameplay
editThe Godfather is a side-scrolling run and gun game with occasional first-person sequences. The player walks along the street, shooting enemy gangsters while avoiding shooting innocent people. Each level ends with a boss, as well as brief mini games. The final level consists of taking down an enemy helicopter while protecting Michael Corleone.
Reception
editCritical reception to the Amiga version was mixed, ranging from 40% to 95%.[1]
Amiga Computing praised its graphics (five out of five stars), but panned both its gameplay and addictiveness (one star each) and awarded it a below-average 40% overall.[4]
