The Godfather II
About the Game
On New Year's Eve 1958 Hyman Roth not only celebrated his birthday, he also celebrated the successful expansion of the Corleone family, successfully lead by Don Michael Corleone for fifteen years now, into Cuba. But the celebrations did not last long when suddenly "la revolucion" started and all hell breaks loose. Michael and Hyman manage to escape with most of the other family members but Aldo Trapani (the main protagonist in The Godfather ) gets killed - just in time for five new families to threaten the Corleone family's control over New York, Florida and Las Vegas. As one of Aldo Trapani's closest soldiers, the player jumps into the role of Dominic to help Michael and the Corleone family win the war as well as to build a family of his now.
Story & Setting
Connected by the main storyline, the main goal of Dominic is to grow his family and destroy the other five families.
Gameplay & Core Systems
That is the one the player needs to threaten until he gives up his resistance and pays his dues to Dominic from now on instead of the other family. But if the player pressures the owner to much, he either dies from the torture or reaches his breaking point. Then he gets aggressive, cannot be intimidated anymore and attacks without mercy. Is the intimidation successful however, the player gets a one-time cash advance and gains money from the joint every day. Once the player controls it, he immediately gains a bonus until he loses one of the rackets in the crime ring.
Standout Features
- This allows them to learn a second and even third profession on top of their initial one.
- Instead there is a time window in which everyone can revive the other with a shot of adrenaline.
- The amount of time it takes them to get back on your side can be reduced by using favors.
Modes & Ways to Play
Another notable element is a multiplayer mode that ties in with the single player campaign. Upon entering the multiplayer mode, the player chooses one of his family members he has hired in single-player and takes on his role. During his participation in the four game modes Team Deathmatch, Demolition Assault (blow up three objects in enemy territory), FireStarter (torch barrels, gas and propane tanks to rack up scoring multiplicators), Safecracker (bust a safe and hold the position for more points), the player then earns honor points for his family member.
