I like this game!

The reviews are all old, but I'm still playing this game. I like it & am disapointed that they have not made another.

I didn't like this game at all. I was expecting a game like the original with tons of improvements and it was nothing like the original.
Review of Gangsters 2003-03-25
I think that Gangsters 2 is a extremely brillant game and has good graphics and I am hoping that it will have some more sequels and if you want a title then I will give you.
great game 2002-12-28
This is the coolest game I have ever played. It's Doom meets the Sims meets Diablo. I especially recommend it to anyone with a lust for the infamous tommy gun.
A waste of an excellent concept 2002-12-02
Perhaps my anticpation for and high expectations of this game are what has caused me to give it just one star. But I must say, I don't think my dissappointment is at all unjustified.
The gameplay is abolutely terrible. It is incredibly frustrating trying to give commands, particularly when you instruct a car to 'flee', and it turns back into the direction of a plethora of cops and rival gangsters. Knowing what to do in certain scenarios can be a headache inducing experience in itself.
The simplicity of the game is overshadowed by the teeth-grinding irritation that comes with trying to accomplish anything. Personally, I found the first Gangsters to be more accessable and less mind-numbingly dull. While the 'working week' aspect of it was a bit annoying at times, giving orders was simpler and the level of involvement you were allowed was by far greater.
This game misses some of the neat, finer detail aspects of the first. But if you're after some real gangster/criminal action, go for something like Mafia or GTA3 instead.
Moronic ai and pathing makes what could be fun, annoying

Gangsters 2 takes you to a fantasy Prohibition-era America. To rise from the ranks of fledgling hoodlum to feared and respected made man, you must effectively run legitimate businesses during the day as a front for more creative enterprises at night. The gameplay is narrative driven, and features real-time action and strategy. You will have to use skills and cunning to build a team of mobsters, including specialists such as card sharks, hit men, arsonists, and safecrackers. You will receive in-game advice to assist in your advancement, plus a daily newspaper will keep you updated on the status of your empire, as well as those of your rivals. The campaign mode contains 20 episodes spanning 15 counties; alternately you can battle friends in the multiplayer mode.

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.
