Why you can trust GamesRadar+
A lot of subtler gameplay elements have been redesigned as well. The RPG-style system for leveling up your custom goon now offers more tangible benefits, with the skill upgrades now divided into "Enforcer" and "Operator" subsets. Operator skills will boost your powers of persuasion and enable you to do underhanded stuff like planting car bombs, while the Enforcer path is more direct - stronger attacks, better aim, etc. Spend enough points on one path or the other, and you'll earn the right to do completely new things, like pistol-whipping people to make a point.
There's also the obvious addition of the motion-sensitive Sixaxis pad, and while most games seem to treat it as either a gimmick or a clumsy steering device, Godfather actually comes up with some elegant uses for it. When grappling, you can yank or shove it in any direction to quickly and easily toss around your enemies, slam them against walls or headbutt them (by headbutting the controller, obviously). It's simple, intuitive and responsive, and it might be the best uses of the feature we've seen so far.
