From Gamespot: Godfather II roughs up retailers in FebruaryElectronic Arts' latest lets gamers expand their turf beyond the Big Apple to Florida and Cuba. By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot Posted Aug 8, 2008 11:14 am PT Even before the first Godfather game was released in 2006, Electronic Arts was already talking sequels. In June, EA CEO John Riccitiello confirmed that the Godfather II is indeed on the way, and today the publisher fleshed out a few details on the game, including a release window and platforms. Set to launch in February on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, The Godfather II is "inspired by the film and Mario Puzo's Corleone family drama." As in the film, the classic mob saga will be set against the backdrops of New York, Florida, and Cuba. Players will once again roam open-world environments as the newly appointed Don of New York. In keeping with the new position of leadership, players will handle strategic organizational aspects of the mob, like establishing and maintaining criminal endeavors and creating a stable of Made Men. That doesn't mean players won't get their hands dirty. Electronic Arts is promising "even more visceral hand-to-hand brutality," as well as new combo mechanics and more pressure tactics and executions. Variety has a few screen shots you can see: www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=photoGalleryAlbum&galleryid=1760&order=0

I hope this one has Mobface too, because that guy in the screenshots scares me 
 He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" So what’s the labyrinth? That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

Act like a mobster. Think like a don
Relive the greatest moments from The Godfather II in an open-world action experience inspired by the movie.
Your goal is to create the wealthiest and most powerful mob family in America. You can accomplish this by extorting and taking control of all illegal rackets, businesses, and black market smuggling rings in the game ? if you need to resort to a little violence along the way, well, it's only business.
A major mob meeting in Havana goes awry on the night of the Cuban revolution. The Don of your in New York City is killed, forcing the player to assume leadership of a tattered organization... Do you have what it takes?
In addition to New York, the game will also take you to Florida and Cuba. Each has its own unique set of unlockable content and rewards, such as weapons, cars, clothing, and other upgrades, as well as unique
challenges. More than just visual diversity and unique unlocks, these cities are a living and breathing environments. In this living world, rival families run the show. The rival families share the same goal as you, and dynamically push back against the your advances. No longer are you trying to complete advancement in a static world -The Godfather 2 is dynamic and reactive, families react with complex "countermoves" based on the players actions and leveraging very human behaviors like revenge and coercion. Remember its only business.

http://www.ea.com/godfather2/features.jsp?itemID=feature1The 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. As the Don of a family, there are a ton of great strategic choices to makein the Godfather 2 while you take on the action --for now, we'll focus on Monopolies.
Monopolies are a grouping 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. Some rackets inclde: · Fronts: These are the extortable legitimate businesses of the game. In addition to their extortion payout they also launder money.
· Small Rackets: These are venues containing an illegal criminal activity and usually disguised as something legitimate.
· Medium Racket: At this level the racket is operating at a large scale, and so it has many guards. Penetrating these venues requires at least 2 crew members to get the job done. Defending the venue takes some substantial muscle.
· Large Rackets: The largest of the racket nodes, these venues (although few) bring in massive amounts of cash. They require a full crew to get the job complete. A small army is required to successfully defend a hub once it is owned.
Monopoly Connections Revealed In addition to map views, players can get in-game information on monopoly connections whenever they take over a venue. When taking over a venue in a monopoly all connected venues in the monopoly will be revealed to the player. The number of controlled venues in the monopoly are displayed along with the monopoly monetary benefits and perks.
 He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" So what’s the labyrinth? That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

I got it, played it for 3 hours, it was pretty good but a down side is that their is only 6 characters in it that are from the movie: Michael Fredo Frankie Tom Geary and Roth. It is not as close to the film as the first one was to Part I  . It is a pretty good game though a bit better than the first one at least.

(Long time no see, all!) I beat the game a few days ago. It wasn't bad but it really didn't follow much of anything, especially since it's basically an alternate timeline because Michael never left New York (well, he says he's going to Nevada at the very end) while everything is going on with Roth et all. All in all I thought they dropped the ball with it. The game could have been so much better. Also: At the very end of the game, your character ("Dominick") is the one who kills Fredo (in a cutscene) on the boat, and just beforehand he says "Fredo, I'm sorry".

Yeah it would have been cool to have the Vito part also. Is it worth buying though? It looks a lot like Scarface from what I've seen.

the game was way too unrealistic,i mean how u randomly attacked other familie's rackets and stuff was just stupid. the entire game was 1 big competition without any alliances. + the medic,demolition expert etc thing.... it wasn't a game based on the life of a mob family,it was a buggy and dumb sandbox game.. My feelings for the game exactly. Really enjoyed the first game but part II just felt cheap and stupid plus the whole family competition thing was pretty tired after a few hours (though I did enjoy the whole New York- Miami - Cuba map thing) Part I was way, way better and I still replay it whenever I can!

Can't wait! I'm getting the PC version, I liked that version for the first installment better than on any gaming platform. Unusual for me, but I'd rather have the best Godfather game experience possible, therefore im going to choose PC platform again for Part II. If you guys haven't tried it on PC, give it a shot, it's actually a great gaming experience, especially for a PC game.

Which is why it was never released on Nintendo Wii, despite the success of G.F.I blackhand Edition, arguably one of the greatest games of its genre of all time
