The godfather, Is obviously violent much like the films.
The godfather is indeed an amazing game. But its almost disturbing. You start with a man getting bombarded by a load of mobsters with Thompsons. Blood spraying all over the place and you can see him actually suffering as he is getting shot. You are able to choke people. You decapitate a horse, Not shown on camera though. You shoot random people and police. Lots of torture. You put a horses head on a mans bed and it looks very realistic. The sexual content is being in a brothel with half naked women which isn't too bad. The language is extreme. Swearing is frequently heard by The don and the rival families. Its an amazing game. Just so so mature.

Perfect for adults and older teens, iffy for kids.
As a parent, I have owned this game for more than 4 years. I strongly recommend this game. It is a fine work of art. For mature audiences, the bank robberies, store robberies, missions, compound takeovers, police chases, bombings and story is EXCELLENT! DEFINITELY get this game. For children though, it's still great, but here are my concerns. As far as sexual, women are COMPLETELY covered. Off topic, but they're kind of sexy. The only sexual marks include "Oooooohhhh.... Your a bad boy. I like bad boys." and some others. Other sexual actions include pressing each others bodies together, spanking, and some close sexual scenes. The only sexual scene that didn't happen, but was suppose to, is when Frankie is about to have sex with you, but then a mission begins. Cursing is strong, and almost 24/7. Death threats are common. But for anyone older, this is a must-have!

Tells you what it was like in the italian mafia
Pretty much there is a lot of blood and violence. You can kill people in difference fashions and your get reward for it. There are dancing girls and it does have some educational value showing life as a mobster and what NY looked like. I wouldnt recommend this for children under 15 but some kids are smart enough to not repeat what they see on video games.

Not as bad as made to sound
Parents always throw a fit about the "sexual theme" rating piece of the esrb rating. But its really not that bad in this game, I only saw one part that was deserving of that title, when you have to get information from a prostitute.

A game suitable for the average teenager
there might be violence and language in the game but that is not a big deal. If you let your kid watch the movie then they should be able to play the game. It is not like there going to go around repeating the words they hear and start using violence. Iwould recomend this game to a kd around the age of 15 or 16.

It's Overrated
Okay, they say violence is too much. The blood is so fake, once you kill someone they lay in a circle of red until they disappear. Second of all they say s*x is an issue but it is not. There are h***ers but you can only talk to them and they are clothed almost entirely. The swearing is not that bad for a mature 9 year old and any 11 year old and up. This game is fine if your kid knows not to do these things in real life.
