 Moronic ai and pathing makes what could be fun, annoying, 2002-11-29
This game is kind of simple and would be fun if it weren't for pathing and AI that makes the original Warcraft look smart. If your gangsters are wanted by the police, and getting shot at, they will pace back and forth in front of the cops like ducks in a shooting gallery until dead. This happens ALOT.Also, if you tell someone, say a wimpy specialist, to go somewhere, he takes the direct route, even if it takes him past a hundred enemy troops (well, he'll be dead after 12 so no matter) The idiotic ai takes what could be a simple but fun game and makes it feel like someone just wnated to put out their software a couple of months before they were finished. A patch could fix this, but not too likely from eidos, customer service isn't very important nowadays. Avoid this game. --Alex

 Ganster2, 2002-09-15
I have been bitterly disappointed with this product. The website works somewhat if you can get on. The game does not work well you have to get many downloads and customer support if you can get them does not respond well. How could they come up with a sorry version of this game based on Gangsters? It never seems to work in the multi player mode either. Even when you have the same version. My friends also don't like this version. They have the same problems. All I can figure out is when it works fine, but when it doesn't watch it.
I would give it no stars if I could!, 2002-06-06
This game is a waste of money. I played the first game and it [was bad] like a taco canned rice and jellybeans. I thought this one might be good because of improvement in disc space and graphics, but they just [messed] this up. The concept is one of the best I've ever seen. Run a city to make it simple. However, the gameplay is so utterly terrible that the few good aspects of the game are completely countered.
Don't buy this game. I like tacos, but I have to advise against eating thi one. I like Mexican food!

I Loved the first one but some how they found a way to butcher it. Weak story line and BAD gameplay are 2 of the games many problems. ...

Not worth the money, 2002-03-19
Very disappointed in this *yawn* boring game. Graphics are poor...less than to be expected of a game at this price. The mobsters are not even The Sims quality...they are small and have little detail, barely can tell they are people at all. No satisfaction for those liking the sinisterism of being a mobster. You spend most of the time hunting moving square dots on a poorly drawn map. Blood is a single red pixel. Missions are boring and similar throughout the game. Little detail, no mobster feel. Menu and maps are frustrating to work with, moving between and across maps and menus will furiate you. Difficult to follow your mobsters on the map...hard to find a view that works. Its like playing blindly. Controls are not user friendly...unecessary button combos. The wrong click of the mouse can mean "game over"....and its extremely easy to make this mistake. Often times mobsters and vehicles will not move the direction you want..and will get killed. Not user friendly...bottom line...game is good enough to cure boredom but buy it when its 15.99.
