The Godfather II Dated

Electronic Arts and Paramount Digital Entertainment today revealed the first details of The Godfather II videogame, the sequel to the 2007 multi-platinum hit. 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, players expand to new cities, as they build up their families through extorting businesses, monopolizing illegal crime rings and defeating new families in an effort to become the most powerful mob family in America. To help players manage their empire, The Godfather II introduces "The Don's View"...

3 - From Hunter Smiter, Exec. Producer of Godfather II
“We found the hierarchical culture of organized crime intriguing. Running an organized crime family in a world defined by family loyalty is something that we felt could introduce a new strategic element to the genre,” he added. “That is what the Don’s View is all about -- laying out a strategy to pick off the competition one by one. The Don’s View is so unique, it could fundamentally change the rules of open-world games by blending action and strategy to create something entirely new."

Running a mob family? Count me in!

I actually liked all 3 movies. (although the second one was the best, personal opinion)
Definitely liked the game bugs and all.
Definitely will pick up this version Day 1 of release.

6 - I played the first
On the 360 and quite enjoyed it.
Being a fan of the Godfather probably didn't hurt but I think the game did a fantastic job of filling in the gaps of the movie.

As an example, one of the missions is you have to race across town to put the gun in the bathroom stall because Micheal's meeting location was changed.
Another was dealing with you and the horse head.

Great game, looking forward to the second.
