My older brother showed me this game when we got our first computer. He got this from a store where you could rent games for a few days. He showed me the game mechanics, it was a great time together. Some day the store closed and sold all their games for a few bucks. I finally got it for 2 Euros then. Finally i could play it so much more, it was so cool.
It is one of those games that sticks with you long after you’ve played it. For me, it was one of the first games I ever got into, and I ended up spending countless hours in its world. I mostly played solo, and even though the game doesn’t have the multiplayer aspect that some others might, it didn’t need it. The whole experience was immersive enough to make me feel like I was a part of the story, running my own criminal empire.
why have thisone not been relast yet? It´s way better the the first game, and I still play it often orginal. with some tweaks and twits ´^^ it just not making sence to me that this one has not been released at the same time with the first game. so many memories, so much fun doing drive by shootings, and then your car blows up with you inside of it. xD
should have been released with the other game... just waiting to buy it.
This is one of my favorite strategy games which I keep replaying every couple of years.
Unfortunately inner plastic circle of CD has been developing multiple cracks and it may not survive many more installs, so I'm begging: GOG, please save this hidden gem!
This game is set in a fictional province during prohibition era, where you run your little crime empire. You can buy property, run illegal businesses such brewery, speakeasy, counterfeit press, etc.
You can also hire gangsters from the local newspaper, recruit bodyguards, equip them with Tommy guns and let loose on your rivals, doing drive-by's, seizing territory, robing banks, bribing or kidnapping city officials and so on.
While this game lacks strategical depth of it's predecessor (Gangster: Original Crime), it vastly improves combat, introduces lengthy and challenging campaign, nicer visuals with very distinct style, and also has enjoyable sound design, music and CGI clips.
Unlike in predecessor there's no weekly planning phase where you give orders for the whole week and then watch events playing out with little input. Instead game plays out in real-time but you can pause at any time, look around the map, assess the situation and give orders to your cronies. It encourages micro management of your gangsters because if they survive during mission, they can level up and improve their skills making them even more effective at shooting, driving, robbing or running businesses. There's also more emphasis on story and every mission has different tasks or multiple win conditions, so missions don't get boring.
This is very niche but enjoyable game for those who love books, movies, aesthetic and general vibes of prohibition era. It's very evident that original developers have put a lot of love and care into this game with nice touches such as dynamic newspaper headlines and obituaries based on in-game events, or NPC's traveling around town, which serves little gameplay purpose but immerses you into the game world.
