PLEASE do not believe the reviews going around, I was shocked by the reviews. Repetitive - yes, Unpolished - Yes, Slightly Off Beat From Movie - Yes .. but i love it.
If you like the first one, get this. It's plain and simple godfather fun, its repetitive but its fun. Graphics could be better, but the game was so enjoyable that i couldn't care less. Its December 31, 1958 in Havana, Cuba, 4 years after the character of the preceding game, Aldo Trapani, is made Don of New York City. The game proceeds to introduce its main protagonist, the player's character, who is named Dominic. The player is then allowed to customize Dominic's physical appearance according to his/her preferences. Following this, the game reveals the first major scenario which occurs. Michael Corleone, successor to the Corleone empire, is in Havana for a business meeting with Hyman Roth and two other Dons, Rico Granados and Samuele Mangano. From there the Cuban revolution sparks when your talking to Aldo inside the Havana hotel. I wont tell you anymore.. but the game really begins shortly after the Havana bit, when you get promoted to Michael Corleones right hand man, and have strategic control over New York City.
Graphics - 7.5/10
Gameplay - 9.5/10 (lovely hand to hand and weapon combat.. controls could be only slightly better, and no jumping :( )
Story - 8/10 (they done the best they could without breaking any laws)
Lasting Time 7.5/10 (Average single-player time.. don't get too hooked or else you'll regret finishing it so quick)
Multiplayer - 7.5/10 (Servers are packed.. I'm currently loving it,even though the multiplayer isn't that great)
Brilliant Game.
