The Godfather will feature Grand Theft Auto-style non-linear gameplay, which will "offer gamers countless choices for solving the family's problems with brutal violence, skillful diplomacy, or a cunning mixture of both," according to EA. Mission types will run the entire criminal gamut, including simple shakedowns, bank robberies, drive-by shootings and high-profile hits. The game will also have a branching plotline a la Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, where "decisions made by the player in the game will have lasting consequences."
