The basic gameplay and game mechanics fall into the subgenre of Grand Theft Auto clones, as the player can travel throughout the game world freely, commandeer vehicles, do whatever they want in terms of attacking and/or killing innocent civilians, and progress through the storyline at their own leisure, spending as much time traversing the city as they wish.īasic gameplay in The Godfather II. The Godfather II is an action-adventure and role-playing game played from a third-person perspective, in which the player controls Dominic, an original character created for the game, who becomes the Don of the Corleone family in New York City, and Michael Corleone's underboss. Its poor critical and commercial performance led EA to scrap plans for an adaptation of the third Godfather film. It was a commercial failure, selling less than 400,000 units worldwide across all platforms. Many critics also felt the game deviated too much from both the plot and tone of the film, and that it was too easy and too short.

Common criticisms included graphical glitches, technical bugs, poor AI, and an unimaginative open world design. The Godfather II received mixed reviews across all platforms. Unlike the first game, which featured many of the film's actors reprising their roles, only Robert Duvall returned as Tom Hagen, while the rest of the cast comprises entirely new actors. Additionally, whereas in the first game, most of Aldo's actions took the form of events which happened off-screen in the first film, in The Godfather II, Dominic has a more central role, appearing in numerous scenes in which he was not present in the film for example, he is with Frank Pentangeli during his attempted assassination, he accompanies Tom Hagen to see Pat Geary after the prostitute is found dead, and he kills Hyman Roth and Fredo Corleone. However, the game changes the film's plot more so than the first game did: none of the material concerning the rise of Vito Corleone is present in the game, and the events of the film are presented in a different order. Like its predecessor, The Godfather II tells an original story, which intersects with the narrative of the film on multiple occasions. Unlike the first game, which was primarily set in New York, the story also spans into Miami and Havana. After Aldo is killed, Dominic is placed in charge of the Corleone family's operations in New York City and tasked with expanding the Corleone empire by taking out their rivals. Like the first game, The Godfather II follows a non-canon character, Dominic, who is initially the protégé and underboss of the original game's protagonist, Aldo Trapani. Based on the 1974 film The Godfather Part II, it is the sequel to the 2006 game The Godfather, which was based on the 1972 film of the same name. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in April.

The Godfather II is a 2009 action-adventure game developed by EA Redwood Shores and published by Electronic Arts.
