Notes

This is a demo that was built for E3 2005.
Appears to only work properly on a debug kit or on emulators.

  • Built 10 months before the final game was released.
  • Title screen is very different from the final game's.
  • Attract trailer is the E3 2005 Trailer.
  • Only one neighbourhood is playable in this build which is Little Italy.
  • Three events can be played which are the Don Is Dead Story Mission, Clemenza's Hit Mission and Emilio's Butcher Shop Racket.
  • Finishing the Don Is Dead Mission sends you back to the title screen.
  • Clemenza can be killed in this build.
  • 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.
  • Blackhand uses placeholder sound effects.
  • Environment sound effects are different.
  • Action text for talking and interrogating is different.
  • Vendetta and Heat use placeholder sound effects. Heat was known as "Crimewatch" during this stage of development.
  • Contains earlier renditions of the games soundtrack.
  • Two music tracks go unused in this build.
