What it is

The Godfather puts you into the action of the legendary films, while you relive the classic moments of the Corleone family. After a life of small-time jobs and petty thefts, you are accepted into the Corleone family -- America's most famous criminal organization. It will be up to you to carry out orders, earn respect and make New York City your own. Featuring the voices of James Caan and Robert Duvall and the likeness of Marlon Brando.

In Little Italy in 1936, a young Aldo Trapani witnesses his father Johnny, a soldato in the Corleone family, being killed by the rival Barzini family. Don Vito Corleone comforts Aldo, telling him that when he is old enough and the time is right, he will have his revenge. Nine years later, in 1945, Aldo returns from World War II after serving in the U.S. Army. His mother Sarafina visits Vito during his daughter's wedding, telling him that Aldo has fallen in with a disreputable group of young thieves. Vito sends Luca Brasi to find Aldo and recruit him into the family.
