The Godfather: The Don's Edition [BLUS30023]

- Later storyline mission - player is forced to throw somebody off the ledge by moving Sixaxis forwards, and as far as I can tell this action cannot be performed without motion controls.

I know how to passed it. Instead of doing a standard throw to knock him off the building(which requires the sixaxis), you can do a side throw instead. To do a side throw, grab the person, then turn your character with the right analog stick. While your character is turning, let go of the grab button and you'll do the side throw.

The side throw works with the mission involving the grave, the mission about pushing the police officer off the building, and also a secondary mission where it's a bonus to throw them off a building. You still need to do the L3+R3 for the first tutorial mission though. Someone might want to update the godfather wiki page about that.
