On the eve of the Cuban revolution, a major mob meeting in Havana takes a bloody turn. The Don of your family is killed in Cuba, leaving it to you to take the reigns and lead your battered organization and reestablish the Corleone powerbase in Queens. Success breeds opportunity: after you've proven you have the chops to run a top-tier crime organization, Hyman Roth invites you to expand and support him in South Florida. Do you accept his offer or do you remain loyal to the Corleones? Things get even more complicated when Michael Corleone comes under investigation by a Senate Committee on Organized Crime, and you're tapped to run the Family with support from Tom Hagen. Whatever decisions you make, you must build up your arsenal, command your crew, and establish and maintain power... or face the consequences. Stack your pockets with favors from those in positions of influence as you fight off attacks and strike back at your rivals. As the Godfather there will be a price on your head and a target on your back, but don't take it personally. After all, it's only business. The Don's View
Be a true Don as you coordinate all the action using a 3D world map: survey your turf, place defenses on businesses, analyze crime patterns, identify new illicit rackets, and choose the target of your next attack. As the Don of a family, there are a ton of strategic choices to make in The Godfather 2. Just one example are Monopolies. Monopolies are groupings of rackets that "run" the same criminal activity. Controlling, and defending a monopoly comes with both a monetary bonus and game perk benefits making them key to owning the map, gaining wealth and amassing power. Monopolies can be local to one city or span across the cities. Larger monopolies made up of many targets, spanning multiple cities are obviously more difficult but offer greater rewards. Other in-game rackets include: Fronts - extortable legitimate businesses of the game that provide payouts as well as money laundering opportunities; and Small, Medium and Large Rackets - venues containing an illegal criminal activity and usually disguised as legitimate businesses. These three require various degrees of muscle to defend and keep under your control. Key Game Features: - Build Your Family - Recruit, develop, and promote members of your crime family.
- Command a Crew - Bring up to three crew members along on jobs, including an arsonist, demolitions expert, safecracker, and more. Command their actions in battle and unleash their specialties on your enemies.
- The Don's View - Be a true Don as you coordinate all the action using a 3D world map: survey your turf, place defenses on businesses, analyze crime patterns, identify new illicit racket monopolies, and choose the target of your next attack.
- Blackhand Brutality - Act like a mobster to command respect, intimidating and extorting business owners and rival families with devastating new attacks and executions.
- Bring Your Family Online - Recruit your friends to join your family and take them into battle online to find out who is the Don of Dons.
- 'It's Only Business' - Relive the greatest moments from The Godfather II in an open-world action experience inspired by the movie.
Commanding Your Crew
There are six ranks within each family, starting with the Don. As the Don you will have a right hand man, your Consigliere Tom Hagen, who will teach you the ropes and advise you on how to take down the other families. The rest of your family is comprised of an Underboss, Capos, Soldiers and Associates. These are the men who guard your interests and follow your orders without question. Members of your family within these ranks, known as Made Men, possess exclusive skills and specialties that can be taken into battle. Direct them wisely and upgrade them to develop their specialties and increase the power of your organization. But beware. Each rival family has it’s own family tree as well. Learning how to hunt down and permanently eliminate their Made Men will be critical to your success. Take Your Family Online in Multiplayer Modes
Play The Godfather II online multiplayer modes and become the true Don of Dons. Take your money, weapons, and crew from your singleplayer experience online and wage mob warfare against players around the world. Play as one of your family’s Made Men and put your best strategies to the test as you battle for riches and honors that transfer back and forth between your singleplayer campaign. Some available modes include: Fire Starter Game Mode - Arsonist crew members attempt to destroy as much as possible in a race to reach the scoring limit. Safe Cracker Mode - Safe cracker crew members attempt to find safes throughout the map. Cracking them earns your team points and money. Demolition Assault Mode - Use your demolitions specialty to destroy the enemy’s three assault points. Team Deathmatch - The bloodiest mode and so not for the squeamish. Team with most kills wins.

 ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER!!!! December 30, 2009

I bought this game for my son so this is his review:
At first i didn't think this game was gonna be good...i was wrong!!!Its so addicting.Other people say its terrible but just ignore them!Graphics aren't perfect but nothings perfect.Some say its to short but its not meant to rush in completing the game in 4 days. you have a pistol, shotgun, tommygun, magnum, sniper rifle, bomb, molotov,dynamite, garrote(strangling device), and a crow bar, golf club, baseball bat, or knight stick. Rival Families, they'll bomb and attempt to takeover. Safe cracker, demolitions, engineer, bruiser, arsonist,and medics can be in your family.Robbing banks is fun,do it the wrong way...your screwed.Not necessarily based on the movie, but fun gangster game mixed with the godfather.4 days getting it later not on 3rd city yet(to much fun free roaming) Overall awesome game its worth the money, ignore other people there wrong i am right, another thing if you arrested no big deal you get a small fine. I do not see buying another ps3 game this one has all. Hope 3rd comes out.

I had to write a review for this game because I read some of the negative reviews that it received. First of all, as a fan of The Godfather movies, I really enjoyed this game. It is an improvement over the original game. They fixed a lot of the problems from the first and made some tweaks to the game play. The game play is where this game shines.
This game is in the vein of Grand Theft Auto and copies much of the ideas behind it so you will be deciding what to do, how to do it, and when. You actually get to be like the characters in the game. In that sense you are immersed in the Godfather universe.
The game falls a bit on the easy side which is a good thing if you are buying this game for a someone who enjoyed the movie or the first game who is not a hard-core gamer. For someone like me, who is not a hard-core gamer, it is a good thing. I don't have the time to become one of those hard-core gamers mind you as I don't spend my days playing video games all day online or otherwise. I do have a life after all. You don't have to run through hoops to get to the next level. Some games can be too difficult and I have encountered my share of those but this one is just right.
As far as the graphics are concerned, they are spectacular though not as detailed like let's say Call of Duty Modern Warfare. In my opinion that is one of the best games available but is on the very short side. I completed that game in roughly five hours. If you are mainly concerned with graphics then maybe you should get that game. But if you are looking for fun game play, look no further. The Godfather II has game play covered really well. This is where the game really shines. I found the game to be very engaging and kept me hooked for roughly ten hours which is about par for most video games. The fact that it got me playing it through to the end is an accomplishment in itself as many games do not keep you wanting to come back for more. This is not one of those games that will collect dust on the shelf. As far as replay value, I cannot say that I play a game over once I have completed it. Some people like to play a game over to get all the bonus items but I am not one of those.
If you liked the movies and/or the first game, you should check this game out. Right now I notice that the price has been dropped significantly. I think this game is worth more than the price that it is going for right now. I suspect that this game has not sold like other blockbuster games because Electronic Arts did not do a good job of marketing it through the media. Marketing is very important and this game sadly did not get the attention it deserved. Most movie licensed games are not very good as they are basically made as a tie-in to make a quick buck but this one is one of the exceptions. If you were on the fence wondering whether to plunk your hard-earned money on this game, now is the time to get it as now the price is right. You can't go wrong with this game. This game warrants a four-star rating overall.
One of the best titles since original Playstation November 30, 2009
Dan (New Jersey)
I bought this game for myself because all my friends kept telling me how awesome it was. So of course they persuaded me to buy it. I don't follow The Godfather movie series and can't tell you if anything was left out, but the day I played it I knew it was one of the best games I had played in years. It's a great buy and worth every penny. Now I'm thinking of buying the first Godfather game because I heard it is just as good as the sequal.
