    Geez... Get rid of some cops and don't make Joey Bane run away every time someone shots at him. He runs away from everything, he never fights, and when he tries to flee he never gets away!!

    this game really sucks. First i played gangsters 1 i loved then i waited for the gangsters 2 and thought it would be awesome but the game sucked. First the game is full of bugs. You cant control your man they all are so stupid. The second is the manpower it's so easy to get manpower. Just take the newspaper and hire a gangster or hitman. Yeah that is real reality.

I put an add into newspaper that i provide gangsters services. There are absolutly no freedom in the game. In the first game you could do dozens of illegal business where you wanted but in the gangsters 2 there is no such option. The cars are so stupid the go round and roun and roun like an headless chiken.The multiplayer does have no point at all. The every mission is just taking all the businesses from the other gang then buy some manpower trough the newspaper. And then go and kill the others gangsters. The game is so boooorriing. There is no way you can do some crime in politics. The city doesn,t have any mayor at all. In the first game you could kill the mayor. There is absolutly no freedom. The game is all scripted. The hitman failure and sucess hit are all scripted. I tried it i put hitman on someone he failed then i loaded again and putted again hitman t kill that person and he failed again and he failed all the time. Some hitmans are scripted to failure all the time.i dont see any challenge in the multiplayer. It is pointless. Go take business hire manpower and start killing. Thats all. No tricky way to do your managing. No bribing no exctorting no inditimating nothing. Only kill kill kill. I think that it is the sickest game all in the history. … Expand

    I really love love love the first gangsters, when I heard part two was coming I had to get it, but when I got it, the game was slow and tiering. I said to myself hothouse creations let me down DAM! gangster part two should have been just like and better then the first. gansters one needed there cars color to match the gangs color, gangster 1 would be better if you could hire hitman I really love love love the first gangsters, when I heard part two was coming I had to get it, but when I got it, the game was slow and tiering. I said to myself hothouse creations let me down DAM! gangster part two should have been just like and better then the first. gansters one needed there cars color to match the gangs color, gangster 1 would be better if you could hire hitman instead of so many unneed men only if you whanted that, G1 should have bullet proof cars and you should be able to move the boss any were he does business. The weather should change when time go's bye and night time seenery, drive by command would have been great instead of stopping and running only if told optional. moving to another part of the town where different ethnic groups of citizens live and going against there local gang or alliance, optional. when you make more money all of your men and women should wear better clothes and if you want your gang member to dress alike you can pick outfits in the begging of a game culture, ethnic, bisiness, and bizzare fasion would make gangster part three a number one game for mature players.

    It would be better if you did not get stuck in the 7th level unable to beat it.

    The control interface is painful, the AI is retarded and the movement is slow and jerky. I really wanted to like this game, i mean, great concept and all, but damn...

    Not even Eliot Ness and the Untouchables could bust down the doors and reveal the fun in Gangsters 2.

    The biggest problem with the game, though, is the AI - both the enemy's and your own units.
