I have a friend who works for EA & gets these games a couple of weeks before general release. I had the chance to play a couple of hours over the weekend. Firstly this game is fully compatable with the XBox 360 control Pad. The controls are almost identical to those on the 1st game. The system requirements are quite steep. Vista experience index of 4.1 min & 5.1 reccomended. It made our 260GTX graphics card get quite hot at 1920x1080 but did look great. There are loads of new execution styles and this time you not only improve your own abilities when you gain experience but you can also upgrade the skills of your made men. You have to send guards to protect your businesses which was taken care of automatically in the 1st game. Rival families will try to take businesses back. I think this will be better when I've played a good few hours on it. On the PC there is no auto aim as it was designed for keyboard & mouse. This makes shooting a little more difficult. Maybe there is an auto aim option but I just didn't notice. Anyway. If you liked the first games & you like to movies then you will enjoy this one.

Puzo's & Coppola's GODFATHER may be the I-Ching of western men but this installment, like Sollozzo the Turk's proposal, is an infamnia.
EA's pezzonovante, they come not in respect. They come not asking to be our friends. Not once. Even though we keep financing their very existence. They only ask greedily for more.
Like Hyman Roth, EA tries once more to infect our domains with SecuROM RootKits and make us pay again and again for the same game by Limiting its installations. By claiming to fight piracy (ironic already...) EA wants to keeps squeezing its own customers. And they are ready to badmouth and brand as "pirates" anyone who might stand up to their rule.
But just like Don Fanucci, behind the white suit of an ever-menacing EULA hides nothing. Forced to accept an agreement under pain of suffering the financial loss of a worthless non-refundable product nullifies any stipulation in said agreement before any court of law. They only rule on our fear.
But we shall fear no more. Because this is cosa nostra. We have been in PC gaming long before these accountants ruined this beautiful art-form.
Make them an offer they can't refuse: let THIS horses' head soil the silk sheets as EA is slumbering. Eventually they will wake up.
And they will do so screaming.
Gamers, I salut!

I mistakenly expected a DVD not a game! Very disappointed to find DVD not available as game totally useless to me.
