Godfather 2...the offer you MUST Refuse
Godfather 2, of course takes place in the realm of the movie...of sorts, if there was a movie I am sure this game would have been much better but as it stands, this game is based off pure speculation of what MIGHT have happened. This game takes place in what seems to be the 60s, not the 50s, and its after the game of The Godfather, a game that was infinitely better because it actually had some things that anchored it, instead of a loosely adapted story and being a criminal empire....sorry "FAMILY" building game.
Game-Play:
The game plays like a traditional 3rd person shooter with weapons that are not all that amazing. You start off in Cuba, but quickly find yourself in New York, and after doing a few mundane missions, such as your "rough up the store owner to extort him for money" and....well that is actually the only mission in it, but you extort several kinds of stores like cake shops and stuff. There are strip clubs as well that you can own as well and if you are a depraved pervert, you can hang out in them and see pixelated boobage. This game does have nudity in it but its tasteful...well as tasteful as you can make it in a video-game. For the most part its just extort said store, or assassinate said guy in a certain way to get more money or info. You control some backup in this one in the form of AI Family members who can come with you on raids, but the AI is dumb as it gets, several times getting stuck in door frames where all three tried to get through at one time leaving me stranded to get shot to hell and then watching in horror as my medic stood there not able to heal me.
Story:
The story is simple enough, shit happens in cuba, you go to New York and build up your family, then you take out other familys, and then you become the Godfather...HORRAY. When you beat the 14 hour long game it then asks you if you want to do some online, which I passed on because all there is is Team Deathmatch (not Mafia) or a Demolitons Mode (not Mafia) or some other variants of it with safes, or fire instead of Bomb sites (not Mafia)
Graphics:
The graphics are..Laughable at best. It looks like an early Xbox Title, with several glitches where they didnt polish up where buildings met, and you can see through the floor. Followed by cheesy color schemes and trendy 60s clothing styles, it just hurts the eyes to play for long, not to mention the anti-aliasing is horrible, Ive never seen so many jagged edges.
Summary:
In short, this game is not worth your time unless you are bored and can get it for cheap, even then I would suggest getting another title, this is just a quick buck scam by EA using a title of a good Movie and hoping the name is good enough to sell it. I would really avoid this title, but if you want to play it, try to rent it for cheap.
Story: 3/10
Gameplay: 4/10
Graphics: 2/10
