For starters, the idea of family is totally lost in this game. All of my actions felt rather superficial and outside of the scope of The Godfather IP. Unfortunately, it didn't do enough to engage me at a deeper level. The mix of action and strategy made going through the game an entertaining romp. I really enjoyed upgrading and managing my crew, organizing my holdings in New York, Miami, and Cuba, and battling it out at enemy compounds. Suffice it to say, there is lot that can be done in The Godfather II. Trying to shoehorn everything you can do into this review is futile (for even more in-depth information, check out our interview with the game's Senior Producer Joel Wade).

This will help get your army out of jail more quickly, instantly revive fallen comrades, and even get your business rebuilt after a bombing. Doing so will give you more influence and allow you to cal in favors at anytime. Rather than just roughing up a dead beat boyfriend or rubbing out a problematic mother-in-law, you'll actually hobnob with leaders and officials. The favor system is further expanded by enforcing the will of more influential figures. In exchange, these contacts will give you information essential to taking out rival made men permanently. Finding out these goombas' whereabouts and their kill condition is simply a matter of doing favors for people around town. You may have to throw them off a building, strangle them, or run them over with a car to be sure the other family gets the message. Of course, taking out these baddies is not simply as easy as putting a bullet in their noggin. Executing Capos and under-bosses will have the other family running scared.

In order to weaken them, players will have to put out hits on their made men. This same strategy can also be applied to taking over another family's influence.
