The Godfather 2 has a great story mode that is a good length but you focus more on taking over the business in this game. You play as a guy named Dominic who is an Underboss in the Trapani family. In the beginning the entire Don's are having Hyman Roth's birthday in Cuba when chaos breaks and Dominic, Aldo, Michael, and Hyman Roth must get to the airport, this is basically a tutorial mission. Aldo get's killed at the airport and Dominic has to start his family. You can recruit men in this game and make a whole family ranging from 4 soldiers, 2 Capos, 1 Underboss, and Tom Hagen who becomes your Consigliore. Each man has different abilities which range from Engineer, Bruiser, Safecracker, Medic, Arsonist, and Demolitions. All abilities are very helpful especially the medic because if you get killed he can recover you and you can do the same with your men. Your men can't die but if they get killed they will be put in the hospital for a certain amount of in game time same for jail if you get busted. There are more favors you can do in this game which come in handy. This game features the Don's View which is a 3d map of the city the business and will tell you anything you want or need to know and it is a very helpful feature. You have the option in this game to take out the rival families men but they have to be killed a certain way but it's good to take them out because unlike in the last game your business can get taken over or bombed but if you eliminate the men that can't happen. The map is a good size but there is 3 different areas to go to which are New York, Florida, and Cuba which just to warn you Cuba is horrible because cops come after you faster and more aggressive than in New York or Florida. The money in the game is used to give attributes to you and your family unlike in the last game all clothes and weapons are free. There are good rewards in this game that you get for taking over businesses which give you a good advantage. This game also has online which you can take your family in the game and kill other people's families which that's always fun and you can use that to upgrade that persons gun license so he can carry a level 3 gun.

Overall Godfather 2 is a terrific game and a great update from the first and anyone who loves action games must buy this.
