646f9e108c Three years after the events of The Godfather, Michael Coreleone has moved his family to Las Vegas, leaving Don Trapanihis proxy in New York. Michael ultimately intends to go legit, passing the torch of his criminal enterprises onto Trapani, and allowing his trusted capo-regimes to form their own families, should they desire. When Trapani is assassinated, his top enforcer, Dominic, steps in to fill his shoes. Backed by a crew of capable henchmen, Dominic is tasked with defending, and expanding, Corleone interests in New York, Miami, and Havana. However, Michael&#39;s plans for legitimacy and Dominic&#39;s greater ambitions are both threatened by a bloody turf war with the Rosato brothers, a Senate investigation into organized crime, the betrayal of business associate Hyman Roth, and Fidel Castro&#39;s revolution in Cuba. A video game in which players control a new member of the Corleone crime family who is rising through the ranks. When the Don of New York is killed following Castro&#39;s rebellion in Cuba, Don Michael Corleone places responsibility for his business interests squarely in your hands…<br/><br/>Taking numerous liberties with the source material, The Godfather II is an interesting game. The main appeal is the building of your own empire and &#39;Family&#39;, whilst eliminating your rivals in the traditional Sicilian fashion. However, the main story of the game is somewhat flawed, complete a mission, take over some businesses, etcetera. Sometimes a free-hand is not always what is best.<br/><br/>However, while it lasts, the game is particularly addictive, interacting with characters from the famous filmyou counter assassination attempts, FBI hearings and even attempt to eliminate the dictatorship of Cuba. The fighting system is just a complexthe previous game, with plenty of imaginative execution methods to keep you occupied.<br/><br/>The voice cast is generally on good form, although several key players from the film suchG.D. Spradlin (Senator Geary), Carmine Caridi and Danny Aiello (The Rosato Brothers), not to mention Al Pacino himself, are notably absent. However, Robert Duvall performs excellentlythe unflappable consigliere Tom Hagen.<br/><br/>Perhaps a game for rental rather than purchase, this is a game which should not be missed. 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.<br/><br/>If you like the first one, get this. It&#39;s plain and simple godfather fun, its repetitive but its fun. Graphics could be better, but the game was so enjoyable that i couldn&#39;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&#39;s character, who is named Dominic. The player is then allowed to customize Dominic&#39;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. <br/><br/>Graphics - 7.5/10<br/><br/>Gameplay - 9.5/10 (lovely hand to hand and weapon combat.. controls could be only slightly better, and no jumping :( )<br/><br/>Story - 8/10 (they done the best they could without breaking any laws)<br/><br/>Lasting Time 7.5/10 (Average single-player time.. don&#39;t get too hooked or else you&#39;ll regret finishing it so quick)<br/><br/>Multiplayer - 7.5/10 (Servers are packed.. I&#39;m currently loving it,even though the multiplayer isn&#39;t that great)<br/><br/>Brilliant Game.
