Electronic Arts Inc. and Paramount Digital Entertainment today
announced that The Godfather II videogame is set for release
in the UK on March 6th. The Godfather II allows players to
both act like a mobster and think like a Don, by immersing them in a
1960’s organized crime world. As a Don, players can build a crew and
grow their family in an effort to become the most powerful mob
syndicate in America. Players will be able to choose how and when to
use their Made men, either by commanding them directly in battle as
part of their crew, or by sending them to do a job in another part
of the world – bombing rival family rackets, attacking their
businesses, or defending your own.
Players who pre-order The Godfather II at participating
retailers worldwide will receive an exclusive crew member, named
Tommy Cipolla, to hire into their family. While the other soldiers
at the start of the game come equipped with one specialty and
level-one firearms, Tommy will be the only crew member to possess
two specialties – arsonist and medic – as well as carry a level-two
double-barreled shotgun. With Tommy in your family, players will
have a strategic advantage in the game, using his advanced skills
either directly in battle, or sending him to take over and defend
rackets on his own.
The Godfather II takes the open-world genre in an entirely
new direction. Part of the fascination with The Godfather fiction is
the feeling of power that comes with being the Don of an organized
crime family – and The Godfather II game puts the control in
your hands. While at its heart The Godfather II remains an
action game, it also features deep new strategic gameplay mechanics
never before seen in an open-world game. The strategic elements to
the game allow you to extend the fantasy of building and running
your own organized crime family. This means that you have to build
and invest in your family, manage your businesses, and reach out to
corrupt officials – all of which is done through the revolutionary
Don’s View. The Don’s View is a 3D representation of your criminal
empire in all three cities; it allows you to coordinate your
strategy, plan hits on rival Made men, attack enemy rackets, and
much more. The Godfather II delivers the ultimate organized
crime experience by allowing you to call the shots.
Developed at the EA Redwood Stores studio, The Godfather II
will be coming to the Xbox360, PLAYSTATION3 and PC. The Godfather
II has been rated M for Mature by the ESRB and 18+ for PEGI. |
