Introduction

In 1972, The Godfather was released in theaters to worldwide critical acclaim. Considered by many to be one of the best movies ever created, The Godfather spawned two sequels and an endless array of fandom as people, 25 years later, offer things to people "that they couldn't refuse." Well we have an offer you can't refuse here at IGN Guides. EA's The Godfather game has recently been released, and we know that you're jonsing for help. IGN takes pride in destroying the competition in general, and IGN Guides continues the proud tradition with our newest guide for The Godfather. You won't find a more complete, more detailed and more accurate source for The Godfather anywhere. Period. If you want to become the Don of New York City and reach 100% in the game, you've come to the right place.

So what's inside? Well, aside from a complete basics section and a walkthrough covering each mission in the game, the real meat of the guide is in the numerous appendices. We've found every reel of film and every weapon upgrade. We've extorted every business, bought out every racket, stormed every hub, seized every compound, and taken firm control of every section of the New York metropolitan area. We detail it all in our guide, accompanied by hundreds and hundreds of screens. But if all you need are some details on execution styles, or contract hits, or safehouses, or safe locations... well, you've also come to the right place. We have it all.

In this The Godfather strategy guide, you'll find:

• Basic tips and strategy.
