The Godfather 2 Game

The Godfather 2 is an action-strategy hybrid video game loosely based on the classic film series. The game is being developed and published by Electronic Arts.

The Godfather 2 game, while loosely based on the film starring Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, goes beyond the plot of the film to give players a more in-depth experience. On the eve of the Cuban revolution, the Don of the player's family is killed in Cuba, leaving it up to the player to take the reigns and lead the battered organization, reestablishing the Corleone powerbase in Queens.Official Site: The Godfather 2

Building off the gameplay elements from the first Godfather game, EA has expanded the gameplay in order to make players feel more like Don running a large crime organization, rather than serving as a lone hitman. This comes in the form of being able to recruit and invest in other characters in the game to strengthen your overall power and wealth. Because of these elements, the game ventures into strategy and even RPG territory.Team Xbox: The Godfather II Interview (August 19, 2008)

In addition to the single player mode, the game also features four multiplayer modes. Rather than playing as the main character from the story mode, in multiplayer, players can choose to play as any of the other characters they've recruited while playing the game in single player. The multiplayer modes are all designed around specific skills that these henchmen build up during the single player portion of the game.IGN: The God Father II Multiplayer Preview (December 19, 2008)
