Okay, just as a quick punch line a the beginning or whatever, this game is definitely worth at least a rent in my book, let me tell you why.
It is very addictive. While it does have some pretty average graphics, but they are acceptable. The textures and such don't always look as good as they could, but it's the gameplay that matters, right?
So about the gameplay, it is good. While you will be doing the same thing for most, no, the entire game, it doesn't lose its touch. It manages to change the difficulty and extras (like weapons) up just enough to keep you satisfied. And, surprisingly, killing people really doesn't get old. The shotgun is just so fun to shoot. Lots of customization, like full face and stuff. and the clothes of your Family.
Speaking of Family, the system is very good. The ones in your crew (the 3 that follow you) will actually talk to you and change what they say depending on the plot point. They also have their own personalities, which is a good touch. Like the Ladies Man, or a promiscuous dude. What is bad is that you have to kill them to get them out of the Family if you want to replace them, but hey, its realistic.
The whole Don thing is also good. Although you will find that once you start getting a good setup, you kind of just take over place after place, trying to get those bulletproof vests or ammo belts. And occasionally sending a few of your Soldiers and maybe a Capo to defend one of your rackets while you shoot a guy in the face to get a special way to kill an enemy officer.
And that's another weird thing. The enemy families, like you, have officers. And to kill them permanently, you have to do a favor for someone random on the street that you talk to (they have a key on their head) and then you get how to kill them permanently, like a headshot. Otherwise, they just go to the hospital, even if you shot them in the head when you were just supposed to punch them.
Anyway, this is a decent-good game. Rent
