This makes the game tedious as it requires as much skill as brushing your teeth. Even when your men are underdeveloped, they still have no trouble wiping out the enemy goons. Your family members will have to have the right weapons licence to use the best gear, otherwise you’ll have to take him online to get honour or mark him for death (and subsequently hire a better guy). You’ve got your usual assortment of pistols, rifles and shotguns of varying levels. Halfway through the game you have a ‘squad’ that has the six skills on offer, therefore preventing any need to tactically select your team.Įach member, (and Dominic), can be upgraded with the cash you earn from your businesses, doing favours or robbing banks. Then you finally get an underboss, an uber teammate who knows three tricks of the trade (bruiser for breaking down doors, arsonist for burning buildings, or demolitions for blowing stuff up). As you progress through the game, you can upgrade your soldiers to capos, allowing them to learn a new talent. In the beginning, it means you have to choose from a pool of people, (safecracker, medic or an electrician are some of the highlights). Each has their respective professions and advantages. You get to take along three of your own family members. Thankfully, taking on twenty armed guards, (the Don’s View shows such information), isn’t asked of you alone.
You simply walk up to their entrance, and get shooting. At any given time you can attempt to take over other family’s businesses. This means utilising the ‘Don’s View,’ a strategy map that shows your businesses, crime rings and rackets. The majority of your time will be spent following the orders of Michael, Hyman Roth, Frank Pentangeli and Tom Hagen, (Robert Duvall returns to lend his voice at presumed great expense). The game merges traditional third person action with pseudo strategy elements. How the world looks through a Corleone's eyes. This means taking over businesses through extortion, bombing rival families and doing favours for what seems like the whole of New York / Florida / Cuba. It’s your job to slot into the film’s chronology and go from nobody to somebody. You play as Dominic, the latest Don to be brought under Michael Corleone’s wing. We’ve got our hands on the PC version to see if it has what it takes to join the family (last cliché, we promise).
The follow-up game to 2006’s tie-in returns on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. With the clichés out of the way, we can crack on with EA Redwood’s interpretation of Coppola’s crime opus. EA are back with an offer you can’t refuse, (or maybe you should), - The Godfather 2.
