The fact is, GTA does an amazing job of providing players with an open-world that's full of things to do in a way no other franchise can touch. This may all seem trivial to many gamers but, for me, it makes the game woefully ordinary and indistinguishable from other open-world offerings. Players should have simply been able to issue orders to their minions and then take control of the battles by possessing those characters rather than getting the Don in the mix. While I realize Sonny was a hands-on leader, he also didn't last very long. Also, the Don actually puts himself in danger. What's more, running drugs, a very sore spot in the movies, never seems to be a problem for the Corleones in this game. Instead, players will simply mow over fellow neighbors with their cars as if they were playing Saints Row. Family and community should be defining portions of the game. Really what you're controlling is little more than a gang of thugs - there are no connections to the community, there is no prestige involved, and there are no blood relations. For starters, the idea of family is totally lost in this game. All of my actions felt rather superficial and outside of the scope of The Godfather IP. Unfortunately, it didn't do enough to engage me at a deeper level. The mix of action and strategy made going through the game an entertaining romp. I really enjoyed upgrading and managing my crew, organizing my holdings in New York, Miami, and Cuba, and battling it out at enemy compounds. Suffice it to say, there is lot that can be done in The Godfather II. Trying to shoehorn everything you can do into this review is futile (for even more in-depth information, check out our interview with the game's Senior Producer Joel Wade). This will help get your army out of jail more quickly, instantly revive fallen comrades, and even get your business rebuilt after a bombing. Doing so will give you more influence and allow you to cal in favors at anytime. Rather than just roughing up a dead beat boyfriend or rubbing out a problematic mother-in-law, you'll actually hobnob with leaders and officials. The favor system is further expanded by enforcing the will of more influential figures. In exchange, these contacts will give you information essential to taking out rival made men permanently. Finding out these goombas' whereabouts and their kill condition is simply a matter of doing favors for people around town.
You may have to throw them off a building, strangle them, or run them over with a car to be sure the other family gets the message. Of course, taking out these baddies is not simply as easy as putting a bullet in their noggin. Executing Capos and under-bosses will have the other family running scared. In order to weaken them, players will have to put out hits on their made men.
