The Godfather II said:Inspired by the film and Mario Puzo's Corleone family drama, The Godfather II game goes beyond the film's story by setting players in the world of organized crime in 1960's Florida, Cuba and New York.
After being promoted by Michael Corleone to Don of New York, you will expand to new cities, as you build up your "families" through extorting businesses, monopolizing illegal crime rings and defeating new families in an effort to become the most powerful mob family in America.
* It is said that a mafia Don is only as strong as his family. Running an organized crime family in a world defined by family loyalty is something that introduces a new strategic element to the genre. The Godfather II introduces "The Don's View" ? an innovative strategy meta-game that allows players to oversee the entire world as they grow the family business. Using the Don's View, players will be able to build, defend and expand their crime rings, while keeping an eye on the movements and plans of the rival families.
* Players will also learn to master the business of organized crime by building a family of Made Men, hiring crew, handing out orders, and promoting their best men up the ranks.
* Set in a stunning open-world environment, The Godfather II expands on the popular gameplay mechanics of the first game and doubles down on the series' signature BlackHand control scheme.
* features even more visceral hand-to-hand brutality at your fingertips, introducing a new combo system, pressure tactics and executions.
* In The Godfather II, players will fight alongside their hand-picked crew who, each have their own skills and expertise. Each family member specializes in a specific field such as demolitions, arson, engineering, first-aid and more.
* As The Don you control the family, sending some of your men on missions while heading off into action with others. The combination of strategic organized crime gameplay and brutal BlackHand action sets The Godfather II apart from other open-world games.
Godfather II looks set to revolutionize the Crime genre with its new "The Don's View" game-play element. Expand the story from the much loved and critically acclaimed films in this, what's set to be a revolutionary Organised Crime Title.
Debut Trailer
The first game was a solid effort with plenty of fun to be had. I'll probably make the purchase after watching through some review videos and trailers. In the current drought of gaming, I'm clutching at straws. I may not play on the console much thesedays, but when I do I want it to at least be enjoyable as opposed to just an old habit. The Godfather II looks alright, nothing spectacular so I'm hoping they'll release a Demo first, but if not I may rent it or simply trade in COD:WaW.
