The Godfather: The Game is an action-adventure video game developed and published by Electronic Arts. It is the first video game in the Godfather series and based upon the 1972 film of the same name. Originally released in March 2006 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows, The Godfather
has since been released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii. A
smaller variant of the game has also been published for the PlayStation
Portable.
The game is notable in that it features the return of several actors from the original
film to lend their voice. The participating actors are James Caan as
Sonny Corleone, Robert Duvall as Tom Hagen, John Martino as Paulie
Gatto, and Abe Vigoda as Salvatore Tessio, with the most notable
absences being Marlon Brando (because of his ill health and his late
death, the audio producers found that the quality
of the recordings were not good enough and hired an imitator, although
players can hear one piece of audio that Brando recorded) John Cazale
(due to his death in 1978), Richard Castellano (due to his death in
1988) and Al Pacino (who is absent in image as well as voice, choosing
to lend his image instead to Scarface: The World Is Yours).
Another notable absence is Gianni Russo, who played Carlo Rizzi in the
film, and who was still alive while the game was being developed.
