The Godfather II

PLEASE do not believe the reviews going around, I was shocked by the reviews. Repetitive - yes, Unpolished - Yes, Slightly Off Beat From Movie - Yes .. but i love it.

If you like the first one, get this. It's plain and simple godfather fun, its repetitive but its fun. Graphics could be better, but the game was so enjoyable that i couldn't care less. Its December 31, 1958 in Havana, Cuba, 4 years after the character of the preceding game, Aldo Trapani, is made Don of New York City. The game proceeds to introduce its main protagonist, the player's character, who is named Dominic. The player is then allowed to customize Dominic's physical appearance according to his/her preferences. Following this, the game reveals the first major scenario which occurs. Michael Corleone, successor to the Corleone empire, is in Havana for a business meeting with Hyman Roth and two other Dons, Rico Granados and Samuele Mangano. From there the Cuban revolution sparks when your talking to Aldo inside the Havana hotel. I wont tell you anymore.. but the game really begins shortly after the Havana bit, when you get promoted to Michael Corleones right hand man, and have strategic control over New York City.

Graphics - 7.5/10

Gameplay - 9.5/10 (lovely hand to hand and weapon combat.. controls could be only slightly better, and no jumping :( )

Story - 8/10 (they done the best they could without breaking any laws)

Lasting Time 7.5/10 (Average single-player time.. don't get too hooked or else you'll regret finishing it so quick)

Multiplayer - 7.5/10 (Servers are packed.. I'm currently loving it,even though the multiplayer isn't that great)

Brilliant Game.

I haven't been playing video games this year, the last one I got was Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 back in last year's November and just three weeks ago I got a new one, this one, the second Godfather video game (I got it for PS3). I have the first one for PS2 and back in 2006 I enjoyed it a lot, thought it was a good game so this one was an offer I couldn't refuse. I think I liked more the first one but still this is a good game, this is fun, this would have been if a new installment in the Grand Theft Auto series would have been soon to be released a great entrée, the perfect thing before the main and delicious dish.

The graphics are great, the story is basic, you know at one point the only left thing to do is to take over every business and end with every rival family. Is quite an easy game, unless you're in Cuba and the military is after you is very unlikely that you get killed. Like in the first one here to end with a rival family you will have to go to their compound and blow it, I'm mentioning this just to give an example of how the game is quite easy, I mean in the compound of each family there are many enemies and all are ready to f*** you and your allies up but if you don't show any weapon the enemies don't show any weapon. While I killed each enemy in the first two compounds I decided to blow my with my shotgun, sniper rifle, etc. my cousin (who "helped" me to blow the third compound) just hit like a crazy motherf***** the enemies and it was much more easy for him to get to where the bomb must be placed! But anyway, I enjoyed very much this game yet it is the kind of game once you finish its story you are not going to play more (maybe online. I haven't played it online but I have the feeling I'm not missing something awesome).

It's crazy that the first game is literally one of the best games ever made, only thing they had to do was copy the first game and just make it Florida Cuba and NYC and they screwed it up. You start off the game as a boss which is corny and the maps are like tiny compared to the first game. Driving sucks, the crew thing they did is way over thought and unnecessary, I just don't understand what happened when they were making it. Play the first game, leave this one alone. First game still holds up, I just played it again and is 2022!

Unlike the previous game. The second Godfather game called Godfather 2 takes place during the events of the second movie of the same name. The game now focuses on Dominic Corleone just like Aldo Trapani the first default protagonist of the Godfather games and the man who became Don of New York. Dominic can be customizable and it even has more outfits and accessories in the game. The combat is not really similar to the previous game but it has more combo moves in-game even it did have a move list and it even has more satisfying black hand brutalities which are also known as executions or Blackhand Executions and more absolutely new animations. The detail in the game is almost amazing which shows more realisticness even though there are not enough fun things to do. The combat was both realistic and absolutely fun. What is even more fun is that you can try to kill an army with just bare hands. Of course, when used carefully. It has side missions and hitman mode to grind up the fun and preparation. The story is almost just like the movie like I said before a director's cut extends more of the scenes from the movie. And the best part of this game is that I get to hire recruits as my allies and followers to fight against enemies which also features protection rackets to help fight against invaders.

I really love this game that I really wanted to play a long time ago. And I wish there is another game for Godfather 3.

The game The Godfather 2 offers players the chance to once again immerse themselves in the captivating and dangerous world of the mafia, but this time with a new protagonist whose character and story bring fresh dynamics to the plot. As a sequel to the original game, The Godfather 2 has every chance to draw you even deeper into criminal intrigues, offering new mechanics and an improved gameplay experience, making it appealing to both fans of the first game and new players alike.

One of the key elements that sets The Godfather 2 apart from its predecessor is the enhanced business takeover system. This mechanic has become more strategic and complex. Now, players will need to think several steps ahead, planning not only brute force actions but also diplomatic and economic decisions. In the game, it's no longer enough to simply show up with an army of men and seize territory. To gain control over a business, you'll need to consider all factors, including who defends that territory and how best to prepare for the attack while minimizing losses. This adds depth to the gameplay, forcing you to act more thoughtfully, which makes the game engaging even for those seeking serious tactical challenges.

Moreover, the game offers a broader range of options for managing your "family business." Now, you can assign people to key positions in your mafia structure, controlling their actions, which introduces a command element to the gameplay. Each of your subordinates has their own skills and weaknesses, so you'll need to make strategic decisions about whom to send on specific missions and what actions are best suited for success.

Another important improvement in the game is the refined controls. Compared to the first part, everything feels smoother and more precise. Any interaction with the surrounding world now happens with a greater sense of control. This means every movement, shot, or punch looks and feels more realistic and satisfying. This significantly enhances the overall gaming experience and allows you to fully immerse yourself in the game's atmosphere.

The storyline in The Godfather 2 doesn't disappoint either. As in the first part, the player becomes part of complex political and criminal intrigues, where every decision can have serious consequences. At the same time, the story of new characters adds an emotional and dramatic layer to the game. You are no longer a mere observer of events; you become an active participant and the main driving force behind them. Every action and choice you make influences the development of the plot and changes the course of the game, giving the impression of truly being involved in the events.

The game's atmosphere deserves special mention, as it captures the spirit of the 1950s and 60s. The open world the game offers is rich in detail, and players have the chance to explore various cities, including New York, Miami, and Havana. This gives a sense of scale and allows players to feel like part of a large world of mafia intrigues.

Of course, the game has some drawbacks. For instance, missions can sometimes feel repetitive, which might reduce interest in the game over the long term. However, these flaws are unlikely to overshadow the overall positive impressions of the gameplay, graphics, and atmosphere.

Overall, The Godfather 2 is a worthy sequel that successfully builds on and expands the success of the first game. It offers more opportunities for strategic thinking, improved controls, an expanded open world, and a captivating storyline. If you're a fan of The Godfather films or enjoy crime dramas with strategic elements, this game is definitely worth your attention.
