A prototype of The Godfather for the Microsoft Xbox.
Notes
- This is a demo that was built for E3 2005.
- Appears to only run properly on a Xbox or on emulators with 128MB of memory. The build will run out of memory and hang after pressing start when ran on retail hardware.
- Built about eight and a half months before the first available final build.
- Different Electronic Arts logo.
- Different Paramount logo.
- Copyright information is displayed under the Godfather splash screen.
- The title screen is very different.
- Attract trailer is the E3 2005 Trailer.
- There is no loading screen. The screen freezes until the level is loaded.
- Only one neighborhood is playable in this build which is Little Italy.
- It turns out two neighborhoods were cut through looking at the text files. They were the Upper West Side and Queens.
- Three events can be played which are the Don Is Dead Story Mission, Clemenza's Hit Mission and Emilio's Butcher Shop Racket.
- The Notepad has a very basic design.
- Aldo uses the name "David DeMartini" when you look at Tom's Report.

- Finishing the Don Is Dead Mission sends you back to the title screen.
- The cutscene for the Don Is Dead Mission is different.

- Clemenza's hit mission was quite different to the final game's.
- Aldo Trapani's model is entirely different than the final game's.
- Racket Boss in Emilio's Butcher Shop is a placeholder model.
- Aldo Trapani, Emilio the Butcher, the Racket Boss, Cuneo's, Bobby Marcolini and Don Corleone's Assassins all use placeholder voice actors.
- Tom's Report in the pause menu is drastically different to the final game's.
- HUD is very unfinished, radically different and lacks detail.
- Shotgun and Tommy Gun weapons uses placeholder sound effects.
