Is this the UK version of The Godfather Returns?




Don Cardi

DC it is. I remember someone saying it when the Returns one came out that this was their version of it.

Same bad story, different title!

Gotta give 'em credit for trying at least.

If I remember correctly Super Mario Brothers 3 for Nintendo was marketed in Japan (under a different name with different characters) and flopped. They changed the characters to Super Mario Brothers and it was a big success.

Super Mario 2, not 3. 2 was originally released as.. Doki Doki Panic (something like that) in Japan. Almost the exact same story (crappier music, if I recall).

Oh, absolutely! It's not that I want to see the guy fall flat on his face, I just wish that he would have done a better job in staying within the character personalities, and he could have definately done a much better job in regards to Fontaine and Frnacesca. I just feel that he slapped this book together not really caring about specific detail, and just hoped that his book would ride the coattails of the original. He was given the ability to write a book based on characters that were established, enjoyed and well known by the reading public, and in my opinion he dropped the ball. I know I'll probably get shot for saying this, but at least the GFIII movie kept me interested!

Hey, at least the UK version has a better cover. The American cover is so bland.

Even though he wrote the book, didn't the editors read it before it was released? Couldn't someone have said to rewrite it because it sucks?

Mine's called " GF The Lost Years"
