Finally, a game based on a crime film I actually care about!

Not counting The Matrix trilogy, Heat is my favorite film ever. Of course, knowing the bad history of movie-based games, especially with the overflow of classic movie-to-game sequels/conversions we're getting as of late, it's easy to lose hope with this particular license.

Then again, The G[color=yellowgreen]odfather has been getting solid reviews, and Heat's director, Michael Mann, is on board to oversee the project.

Hopefully it won't be just about shooting mindlessly, but actually about planning robberies and executing them accordingly; or just play the cop and figure out a heist before it happens and plan ahead to catch them in the act. Since it'll be a sequel or prequel, we'll likely play new characters other than the main stars.

Wishful thinking, but who knows...[/color]

Dude, Heat was the worst movie ever, and it had Al Pacino and Robert Deniro. You have to try pretty **** hard to mess up a movie with those two.

Edit: Ah, yes, forgot Val Kilmer. No wonder.

I've watched my friends play that game, and it looks to me pretty much like "Look, guys! It's GTA... except, it's G[color=indigo]odfather, too!" Not necessarily a bad thing, if you were a GTA fan.[/color]

Because, all-in-all, game cloning should be avoided most of the time. Yeah, I know Nintendo does it too, so don't try to pull that card.
