The new game expands on the story line spelled out in that earlier game. This time around, according to a release from EA, “After being promoted by Michael Corleone to don of New York, players expand to new cities, as they build up their families through extorting businesses, monopolizing illegal-crime rings, and defeating new families in an effort to become the most powerful mob family in America.” EA reveals the game setting will take place in Miami, Havana and New York, and described it as “Scarface meets Total War”. Six ‘classes’ have been confirmed for the game; bruiser, demolitions expert, arsonist, medic, safe cracker and engineer. Each character is said to have their own background and one of twelve different ‘personalities’. Godfather II is planned for release in February 2009. [CNET]
