as far as i'm concered NOTHING will cheapen the legacy of godfather, no one can ever take away the sheer brilliance of the films whatever they do, i think it should be a good thing, no one is going to say the films aren't good if the game is bad, and anyone that did would be too stupid to be worth caring about in the first place. given all this, im reeally looking forward to it, i hope its really good but if it isnt i dont think it will 'cheapen' the godfather in anyway, but i dont see how controlling the corleone family could not be fun, even if it was really bad i'd probably still enjoy it, personally i'd enjoy a game that was just aimlessly wandering around the corleone compound
