Monstrous conglomerate of Electronic Arts is now like a mad clockmaker: if suddenly a game that is embedded damn Prorva money did not go, the company employees are ready to expand on the hapless cogs and gears - only to replace defective. Then the clock will be assembled again, the invisible hand of turn key plant and ... Who knows, perhaps these and new, will go. Master put his ear to the steel body, smile and spit out the clock on the storefront.

From the very beginning of the game, Dominique can lay dozens of enemies. Any nuisance immediately displayed in the form of Don. "


Another time

The protagonist, like 36 months ago, we have to do with their hands, so that the first mission to enjoy highlights the Cuban Revolution on its expensive patent leather shoes. The mafia, yesterday signed with the former rulers of Havana agreement on cooperation in these minutes is painful to see: even an idiot is clear that the flame burning street barricades not the city - burn this whole era of romantic Sicilian with white handkerchiefs in his bosom. There comes a different time. Barely escaping with a storming of the island (and leaving behind his boss), our Dominique enters the impassioned New York. Fragile truce mafia clans violated the laws of honor is no longer in vogue, everything goes to hell. Dominic, Do you want to become a don? Of course, this is a great honor for me. Ok, let's cracked down on these guys.

Signed a bad check

For proper operation of the "family" need to don were at hand. Best of the Best! Only with their help, Dominic can open safes, laying explosives and de-energize the building - the hero descends to only communicate with managers and presumptuous to spectacular massacres of enemies. Some massacres, unfortunately, all the problems in the city can not be solved. The key to it - all sorts of businesses in large numbers scattered around the city. The greater the number of businesses owned by "family", the higher the revenue share. In addition, to destroy the hostile factions, it is necessary to deprive it of all income places, but then swing open the gates last refuge of competitors, so that the meaning in a raid on the entertainment facilities are, and a considerable one.

In captivity Strategy

Should prepare in advance to ensure that substantive work will have to do without leaving your own house. The Godfather Part 2 "offers an interesting system of management - the so-called" view of Don, which allows lightning fast to respond to any change. "Kind of Don" - a view of the city with a bird's eye view, a kind of map on which markers marked all institutions and key points of a particular location. You can go to any of them, to inquire about the current state of affairs, and even hire a guard. If a business owned by Dominic attacked, with one click on the marker on the map, you can send reinforcements there - or simply monitor in real time, as the fight proceeds (the number of attackers and defenders shows schematic figures). Likewise, organize the attack and seizure; don in this case, as already stated, do not even get up from the chair - very comfortable and what is called a match. In addition, the form of Don "to evaluate members of their own" family ", the promotion of the service especially distinguished soldier and see how they feel the other clans. In convenient menu, among other things, hidden information about all of the missions, crime, and arrangements with all sorts of contacts.

The force of contrast: the passenger and the car look like the heroes of different games. Unfortunately, the picture of the level of "Godfather 2" demonstrates rare. If any of the members of the family is exposed pyromaniac, he will not hesitate to demonstrate their skills at the first opportunity.


Promenade

All of this frees up time for special, truly worthy of Don Affairs. Travel around the city in a car in search of the right people. Negotiate with politicians and lawyers to those covered "family." Look for ways to pressure on rivals - the fact that not enough just to kill the powerful Mafioso. To kill him in style, so to send a clear signal to the top: the city can only belong to one person. Sometimes willing to tell passers-by, as it can be removed or that the offender - of course, in exchange for other services. This part of the game is particularly interesting, life on the streets in general has become brighter. Every other requests for assistance, one in five knows where the enemy is hiding. If suddenly a citizen witnessed the crime, he will try to call the police - in which case it (as, indeed, themselves and the police) can soothe the banknote.This is probably the main difference from the first part of the game - you can be happy for a walk along the boulevards.

The game is replete with destructible objects. Seizure of gas stations better manage personally - for aesthetic purposes. Manage your buddy is very easy - in fact, often they are, without any prompts, choose the correct tactics.


And faster planes! ..

Thread of the story throws us from Cuba to New York, from New York to Florida. Places of change with dizzying speed. And everyone - his face, his music and his own special atmosphere. The developers have opted for a small but eventful sublevels, and it has paid off. Anyone who remembers boring "street war in the first part of the game agree that better withstand one or two strong" families "rather than constantly snap at a dozen small ones. This solution has allowed to build in the cities whole thematic structure of the general thrust of establishments. If they have one owner, he is entitled to extra benefits. Thus, control over the arms business increases the maximum number of rounds in the cage, and possession of car repair can give light weight machine heavy armor. The loss of any of these institutions leads to loss of bonus, in whose hands would he may be.

Again gears

So what's the catch? In the "Godfather 2" play nicer, more comfortable and interesting. Sometimes it even seems that both would look perfect hybrid GTA4 and Mafia-so why not let nedodelannosti sensation, feeling small, annoying bugs, which spoils the impression? Hardly a person familiar with the first part of the game, will answer this question. But any answer immediately: the game is hopelessly, desperately out of date. This she had to leave three years ago, but not now, when even the Fallout 3 and BioShock does not seem to be something unusual. Perhaps the artists did their work as "excellent", but programmers are not able to surprise. Blurry, fuzzy texture, clumsy animation, wooden characters and the general paleness of color; ridiculous laws of physics, on which live local highway - it's only a small portion of the ills from which the projects are taken to vaccinate a level still in its infancy. Of course, to some extent on this can close your eyes. In a particularly opportune moment (storming the mansion bastard Rossetti, robbery Trust Bank, the first police chase) considered polygons even does not occur, but in calmer conditions, all of the above is striking. Machines that appear out of thin air, lights, piercing rays of light all the location ...Why, why this watchmaker so unlucky? ..
