This is an excerpt from the Hands On of the Nintendo Wii Game The Godfather: Blackhand Edition by GameSpot
In The Godfather: Blackhand Edition, you take to the streets as a Corleone soldier and perform a wide array of gestures to virtually choke, punch, slap, and shoot scores of no-good thugs on the streets of New York City. Although the basic story in Blackhand Edition is identical to the previous home console versions of The Godfather, the game plays quite differently thanks to its unique control scheme. And beyond the controls, there’s quite a bit of new content to be found in this version of the game, as well as some significant tweaks to existing gameplay mechanics. We got our hands on a Wii Remote and Nunchuk and took to the streets to see just how differently The Godfather plays on the Wii.
The Blackhand control scheme is a new way for you to control your in-game character using the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk. The combat and shooting aspects of the game have been completely reworked to take advantage of the motion-sensing capabilities of the Wii. When you’re on foot you move around with the analog stick on the Nunchuk and lock on to targets using the Z button. Once locked on, you can pull out a gun and start shooting. The targeting reticle will stay on your target, but you can use the Wii Remote to point at different pressure points, such as knees and arms, so that you can immobilize or disarm your enemy. There is also a free-aim mode where you can run around with the analog stick while aiming with the Wii Remote. We found the targeting system to be easier and more effective than the free-aim mode.
The Blackhand controls have the most influence on the hand-to-hand combat in the game. You can grab an enemy by holding the Z button on the Nunchuk and the B button on the Wii Remote. At this point, you use the two controllers as you would your hands, throwing punches by punching at the screen with the Wii Remote in your hand, slamming enemies against walls by shoving both the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk toward the television screen, and even head-butting enemies by quickly bringing the remote and Nunchuk up toward your head. In our experience the controls worked well, and the gestures felt natural and translated well to the action onscreen. However, using gestures isn’t always as responsive as simply pressing a button, and as fun as the Blackhand controls are, it seems that they could become tiresome after you’ve strangled, shoved, and slapped several hundred enemies.
The Wii Remote is used in more ways than shooting and smacking enemies, though. There are 50 executions in the game, which are special finishing moves that you can perform after you’ve weakened an enemy enough. Using one of a dozen different execution gestures, you can perform these brutal moves. You can snap necks, shoot enemies in the head execution style, and so on using these special gestures that are illustrated with a pop-up diagram in the bottom right corner of the screen. In addition to the executions, you can do things like flick the Wii Remote to open doors, and perform special gestures with the Nunchuk to reload your weapons. To reload a shotgun, you move the Nunchuk up and down to mimic the pump action of the weapon, and to reload a revolver, you flick the Nunchuk as if you’re emptying the cylinder. Ancillary actions like opening doors and reloading weapons seem trivial, but along with the rest of the Blackhand controls, they make the game feel and play completely differently from previous versions.
