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.

Godfather, The - The Game (PS2) price, value & rarity
Is Godfather, The - The Game still worth playing in 2026?
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.
