Story:After being promoted by Michael Corleone to Don of New York, players expand to new cities, as they build up their families through extorting businesses, monopolizing illegal crime rings and defeating new families in an effort to become the most powerful mob family in America. To help players manage their empire, The Godfather II introduces "The Don's View" - an innovative strategy meta-game that allows players to oversee the entire world as they grow the family business. Using the Don's View, players will be able to build, defend and expand their crime rings, while keeping an eye on the movements and plans of the rival families. Players will also learn to master the business of organized crime by building a family of Made Men, hiring crew, handing out orders, and promoting their best men up the ranks. Set in a stunning open-world environment, The Godfather II expands on the popular gameplay mechanics of the first game and doubles down on the series' signature BlackHand control scheme, which now features even more visceral hand-to-hand brutality at your fingertips, introducing a new combo system, pressure tactics and executions. In The Godfather II, players fight alongside their hand-picked crew, who have their own skills and expertise. Each family member specializes in a specific field such as demolitions, arson, engineering, first-aid and more. As The Don you control the family, sending some of your men on missions while heading off into action with others. The combination of strategic organized crime gameplay and brutal BlackHand action promises to set The Godfather II apart from other open-world games. Play The Godfather II online multiplayer modes and become the true Don of Dons. Take your money, weapons, and crew from your single-player experience online and wage mob warfare against up to 16 players from around the world. Play as one of the family's crew specialists and put your best strategies to the test as you take over territory and strike back at rivals. Earn upgrades and money that can be used in your single-player experience.Show more

I still remember the trailer for this game, using Dean Martin's "Ain't Love a Kick in the Head" while the player literally kicks people in the head in time to the music. An interesting retelling of the events in Godfather 2 but your character (named after Michael's son ironically) changes everything, even going back to Cuba to take over more rackets, which unlocked better bonuses and income if you controlled them all. Very fun game for a semi-movie tie in that I would like to see brought back in an age where games like gta and mafia are the top dogs for crime games.

Man the whole management system in this game was amazing, the gameplay was nice and smooth, the executions, the different cities. Really need this brought back!
Amazing game! Would love to have a remake or a least a chance to play the same game. Needs to be officially back in digital format. I used to play the first and second Godfather games and compared to Mafia franchised I liked them even more because of gameplay mechanics.
Why The Godfather II Needs to Be on GOG and Why It’s the Best in the Series (Despite the Bugs) The Godfather II (2009) might be a flawed gem, but it’s arguably the best game in the series thanks to its ambitious blend of open-world action and strategic empire-building. While the first game laid the foundation, The Godfather II expanded the vision—bringing in mechanics rarely seen in crime sandbox titles, like managing crews, taking over territories, and planning hits with tactical depth. Set during the late 1950s, the game lets you build your own criminal empire across New York, Miami, and Havana. The addition of the "Don's View" is a standout feature—essentially a strategic map that lets you manage your rackets, assign crew members with unique skills, and plan takeovers. It combines real-time strategy with GTA-style action, giving players a Godfather-level view of their growing empire. It’s a truly unique feature that still feels fresh today. Yes, it’s buggy at times, but the ambition and creativity more than make up for it. The gameplay loop of expanding influence, making enemies, and calling in your crew for backup during chaotic firefights is incredibly satisfying. There’s real power in being able to make high-level decisions and get your hands dirty. Releasing The Godfather II on GOG would preserve this underrated classic, clean it up with modern compatibility, and give players a chance to appreciate what it tried to do. It may not be perfect, but it’s bold, fun, and unlike anything else in the genre. It's time to make it part of GOG’s digital legacy.

Dog's Life
Dog's LifeIn Dog's Life you play Jake the puppy, as he explores the USA in an attempt to foil a fiendish plot. Miss Peaches doesn't like dogs, and sees them as a way of making money, by dog-napping Daisy the pedigree dog. The dog elements are closely integrated into the game - smells are indicated by lines of coloured smoke, emphasising a dog's acute sense of smell. Locating footprints is also done via this Smellovision mode. Tricks can be learnt, and used to win treats from humans. Jake must explore vast environments and interact with 15 breeds of dog. The aim is to get them onto his side, which is usually done by either having more bones than them, or winning a subgame against them. These are also dog-based - in one you must dig up bones, while another has you 'marking territory' to annex a full screen.
