Story[edit | edit source]
The Godfather II takes place in the late 1950s and early 1960s over three cities: Havana, Cuba, New York City, and Miami, Florida. Michael Corleone orders the player character, Dominic, to take charge of the family after the death of his New York Don Aldo Trapani, the protagonist and player character of The Godfather: The Game. Now as Dominic, the player leads the family to defeat other, international families and take control of various businesses and crime rings, in order to become the most powerful Don in America.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
The Godfather II is played from a third person perspective. It also contains some strategy aspects, as the player's character battles rival families and takes over businesses to ultimately become a "Don" ruling over many cities.
