Note 2:
Regardless of where you are viewing this guide, please visit
http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/565101/42454
This website will have the most current and up to date version of my guide that
is available. That way, you can stay constant with the updates (as some
secondary hosts don’t update very frequently) and we can be on the same page if
you don’t understand something in the guide.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 3:
The Godfather: The Game is available for six major platforms. However, not all
of these games are identical. In fact, the different versions have numerous
changes in execution styles between them. Despite this, I have made my best
effort to provide you the necessary information, regardless of the system on
which you’re playing this game. Please consult the "Platform Directory" for
more specifics on which execution styles are and are not available for your
version.
I have fully completed the game on the PC and Xbox 360, which effectively
represent two of the three truly different versions of the game. However, when
it comes to the four Wii-only execution styles, I really don’t know more than
the basic description. If you’re having difficulty with these, I would
recommend asking on message boards or consulting:
nivlac_rebuats’ guide: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/file/934379/47703

Hello there, reader. My name is Bloviator, and it is my pleasure to guide you
through the wonderful gaming experience that is The Godfather. Whether you’re
a hardcore gamer who considers yourself "1337," a less experienced player who
needs some help with this game, or simply a cat who brought up this guide
because you walked on the keyboard, I’ve provided my services to inform you
about and help you with the execution styles in "The Godfather."
Though I have written numerous guides, help files, tips, and walkthroughs, this
is only the second that I have chosen to submit to an online database. As you
can probably tell, my guide is rather large given the narrow subject material
it covers.
Now you may be wondering, "Why are you bothering to write this guide?" Well,
here’s why:
Recently, The Godfather: The Game message boards have been overrun by numerous
threads asking:
"How do I do ______ execution?"
or, more realistically:
"heY man, hwo is it that im doing that one ecexution? im try to go and kill the
guy but he isnT givin me teh points111 OMG PLZ HLEP!"
While these individuals are responded to quickly, they are soon replaced by
another user asking a similar, or even the same question. Most of the guides
available on gamefaqs describe each of the execution styles. However, they are
not very in-depth, and often leave uncertainty in the gamer’s mind. Some of
them even list incorrect, false, or otherwise misleading information. I’ve
composed this guide in order to create a comprehensive "end-all" explanation
for each and every execution style.
Despite my name, I try to bloviate as little as possible, but still present
as much information as I can. As you read through this guide, you will find
just how in-depth some of my explanations can be. This guide should help you
complete all of the execution styles in the game, and clear up any
uncertainties about them. I’ve made an effort to present all the information I
can, while still giving you the opportunity to do practically anything in this
amazing game. I hope reading this guide allows you to enjoy The Godfather to
its fullest. It’s certainly been a pleasure for me.
-Bloviator

Aside from controls and minor graphical differences, the PC, PS2 and Xbox
versions are essentially all the same game. The Xbox 360, Wii ("Blackhand
Edition") and PS3 ("Don’s Edition") versions of the game have additional
content. For the purposes of this guide, the only part of this content that is
of interest is the execution styles. Specifically, the 7th generation (360,
PS3, Wii) versions have more execution styles. Because even these versions are
not identical, I’ve provided a table for clarification:
("X" signifies the presence of the execution style in this version of the game)

As you can see, the PC/PS2/Xbox versions all have 22 execution styles, the
PS3/Xbox 360 versions have 47, and the Wii version has 51. Please note the
asterisks and double asterisks in the above table:
* This execution style is present in the PC/PS2/Xbox versions but is
ABSENT from the PS3/Wii/Xbox 360 versions. The "Grand Slam Execution"
was changed to the "Melee Weapon Execution" and the "Firearm Execution"
was replaced by five separate executions, one for each weapon.
** This execution style exists in all the games, but is not the same
between the PC/PS2/Xbox and PS3/Wii/Xbox 360 versions. Please see the
specific execution description for more information.
See "Matters of Immense Confusion" for more information on these special cases.

- Introduction -
________________
In this section, which makes up the bulk of this guide, I will go over each
execution style in-depth. I will provide you, the reader, with all the
information needed to easily carry out this execution. For each execution
style, I will list the following information:
_____________________________________________________________________________
| | |
| Name | The name of the execution style |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Platforms | Which platforms [have versions of the game that] support |
| | this execution |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Description | A short and concise description of what the execution |
| | style entails |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | Many executions involve a specific trigger, usually by |
| | pressing the "execute" button. This section will describe |
| | whether the target must be standing or kneeling, or if |
| | there’s no execution trigger at all (just a regular kill). |
| | Note that the Grand Slam Execution and Blackhand Grapple |
| | Execution (PC/PS2/Xbox versions only) can be awarded for |
| | either a regular kill or a triggered kill. Both can be |
| | triggered on a standing or kneeling enemy. |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | While "execution" and "lethal" would appear to be |
| | synonymous, some execution styles do NOT kill the victim. |
| | This entry displays whether or not the victim is required |
| | to be killed in order for the style to be registered. |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | Any items required to complete this execution. This can |
| | include weapons and/or objects in the environment (such as |
| | an oven). |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | A comprehensive look at how to best achieve this execution |
| | style. This strategy will highlight multiple possibilities |
| | and ideal opportunities for each style (when applicable). |
| | |
| | Please be aware that unless specifically noted otherwise, |
| | reader-submitted strategies, tips, notes, etc. have not |
| | been verified. Not to criticize or devalue the quality of |
| | this material, but just be aware that it may not be 100% |
| | accurate. |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
Any other issues you may have will, and should be addressed in the Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) section of this guide.
PLEASE READ THE "MATTERS OF IMMENSE CONFUSION" AND "FAQ" SECTIONS, AS THEY
CONTAIN INFORMATION WHICH IS EQUALLY, IF NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE FOLLOWING

- Back of the Head Execution -
______________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
| | |
| Name | Back of the Head Execution |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Platforms | PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Description | Kill a standing enemy by using the execution trigger while |
| | holding a pistol |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | Yes - Standing |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | Pistol |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | The description of this execution style pretty much says |
| | it all. However, you may have trouble if you aren’t used |
| | to using the execution trigger very often. Essentially, |
| | get an enemy to recoil/be stunned while standing, get |
| | close to him, and press the execution trigger. While you |
| | don’t have to stun him using the specified weapon |
| | (pistol), it is recommended. Still, if you’re quick, you |
| | may be able to put him into the "executable" state with a |
| | different weapon, then quickly switch to your pistol |
| | before carrying out the kill. Also note that your target |
| | must be standing (or falling, but only if you trigger the |
| | execution before his knees touch the ground), otherwise, |
| | you’ll end up getting "Hats Off Execution" instead. |

- Barehanded Kneeling Execution -

_____________________________________________________________________________
| | |
| Name | Barehanded Kneeling Execution |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Platforms | PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Description | Using your bare hands, kill a kneeling enemy with the |
| | execution trigger |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | Yes - Kneeling |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | None |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | The beginning parts of the game involve numerous fights |
| | with nothing more than fists and fury. The tutorials and |
| | early missions give you ample opportunity to familiarize |
| | yourself with the blackhand fighting system. As a result, |
| | you should have plenty of chances to fight with your bare |
| | hands. When you do so, simply pummel a specific enemy |
| | until he falls to his knees, then press the execution |
| | trigger to mercilessly break his neck. If you need to, you |
| | can use grapples (grabs) and all associated combos to get |
| | him into the "executable" state. Just make sure that he’s |
| | kneeling and that your hands are empty when you press that |
| | trigger. |

_____________________________________________________________________________
| | |
| Name | Barehanded Standing Execution |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Platforms | PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Description | Using your bare hands, kill a standing enemy with the |
| | execution trigger |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | Yes - Standing |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | None |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | This execution style is almost identical to the Barehanded |
| | Kneeling Execution, except...surprise...your enemy has to |
| | be standing when you press the execution trigger. Other |
| | than that, all the same strategies should apply. Utilize |
| | your blackhand combat techniques to stun your foe, then go |
| | in for the kill with the execution trigger. Any additional |
| | information or tips can be found in the strategy for the |
| | aforementioned kneeling variation. |

_____________________________________________________________________________
| | |
| Name | Between the Eyes Execution |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Platforms | PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Description | Use a revolver and the execution trigger to kill a |
| | standing enemy |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | Yes - Standing |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | Revolver |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | This is another fairly basic triggered execution, |
| | requiring a standing enemy and the barrel of your |
| | revolver. With the exception of the weapon required, this |
| | is essentially the same style as the "Back of the Head |
| | Execution." The methods you employ to set up and perform |
| | the execution should be the same. The only thing worth |
| | noting here is that the revolver does the least damage of |
| | any of the firearms (though upgrades help). This may make |
| | it slightly more difficult to hurt your enemies enough to |
| | stun them into the "executable" state. Still, focused fire |
| | on the upper torso should make them recoil in pain. Move |
| | in for the kill and execute! |

_____________________________________________________________________________
| | |
| Name | Blackhand Execution |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Platforms | PC, PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360 |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Description | Kill an enemy with your bare hands |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | No |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | None |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | In order to be awarded this execution style, you must kill |
| | an enemy using Blackhand (fighting) attacks. However, the |
| | only difficulty here may arise between this style and |
| | "Blackhand Grapple Execution." The key is that with this |
| | one, you must kill your enemy without grabbing them, just |
| | standing and punching. You also cannot use the execute |
| | trigger. If you do, you’ll just end up getting the |
| | Blackhand Grapple Execution (PC/PS2/Xbox) or the |
| | Barehanded Standing or Barehanded Kneeling Executions |
| | (PS3/Wii/Xbox 360). This makes it slightly more difficult, |
| | as you have to use only the most basic maneuvers to |
| | dispatch your foe. Other than that, you should have little |
| | difficulty achieving this execution style. |

_____________________________________________________________________________
| | |
| Name | Blackhand Grapple Execution |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Platforms | PC, PS2, Xbox |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Description | Kill an enemy with your bare hands while grappling |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Triggered | Optional - Standing, Kneeling, or None (Untriggered) |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Lethal | Yes |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Items Required | None |
|________________|____________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Strategy | This style is similar to the regular Blackhand Execution. |
| | The difference is that to get this, you must kill your |
| | enemy while grappling (grabbing) with them. Like many of |
| | the other styles, you can reduce your enemy’s health |
| | through other means and just finish them off with a |
| | grapple attack, and you should still get the award. |
| | |
| | Note: You will often get this award if you use either of |
| | the hand to hand "execute" triggers (enemy standing or |
| | kneeling). This may be even easier than simply pummeling |
| | an enemy to death, as it is quick and lethal. You should |
| | have almost no trouble with this one. |
| | |
| | Please note, THIS INFORMATION APPLIES ONLY TO THE PC, PS2 |
| | AND Xbox VERSIONS OF THE GAME. |
