Open world based on Coppola's cult film in 1940s-50s New York. Faithfulness to the Godfather universe is polished and territory management mechanics are interesting. Technically behind GTA but the mafia atmosphere is well achieved.

Description
An organized-crime open world by EA Redwood Shores released in 2006, based on Coppola's film. Distributed in Europe and Japan as simply "The Godfather," the game casts the player as a Corleone family soldier climbing the ladder through extortions, hits and alliances.
An open world action game from Electronic Arts, The Godfather has you climb the ranks of 1940s New York's underworld in a city recreated from the film, blending shootouts, business extortion and territory conquest. The faithful mafia mood, Marlon Brando's voice and the freedom of action win over fans of the criminal sandbox. The rigid driving and an uneven production weigh on it. A title for fans of the Godfather universe and mafia open worlds on PS2.
