Godfather II Next Month, Preorder Details

This Electronic Arts press release announces a release date for The Godfather II, saying the upcoming sequel to the movie-based Mafia game will ship in North America on February 24, and in Europe on February 27. The announcement also outlines the unusual preorder bonus of an additional member of your crew:
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.

xXBatmanXx I can't play it when the controls won't set. I did try there was a bug with strafing on the PC and control settings. I take it you played it on the console? I am glad you got to enjoy it. At first I prayed for a patch then I realized who I was praying too.

Nope, PC from GoGamer for like 5.00. Played the hell out of it and borrowed it to a buddy who played the hell out of it as well.

I really enjoyed it until the story finished. Then you had to grind your way to Boss of NY which was pointless and at THAT point I gave up. But I actually played it through a second time.
Obviously Mafia was the superior game, nobody will argue that, I think there is room for both sequels to enjoy though.

The controls were so bad on the PC version I gave up, just another amazing potential and lost opportunity, crap release from ea.

You could change that.....to bad you are dismissing it just for that.
Took me a while to get used to it - but like any game, once you play a while, it becomes second nature. Fun game. Closest thing to Mafia we have had. I loved hitting up shops and blowing safes.

Sounds like people that can deal with console controls had a much better experience.

On the bright side, knowing ea's shity quality I never buy an ea game on release, I need some feed back first. When a friend got so frustrated with game, he gave up and before it made the trash, it to me. I didn't get very far either and gave it away too, damn I wonder where that game is now.

It was fun, it just not very deep, nor was it compelling, story/character-wise. $25-30 territory, not pre-order worthy. Besides, there'll be tiny unlocker program made within 2 days of the game release.

You have to admit throwing shopkeepers through their own windows then yelling "I think you need protection" was good times.
