Godfather II debut trailer makes unrefusable offer

As any respectable Don will tell you, serving as the CEO of a powerful crime syndicate is not an easy thing to do. You won't find any classes on racketeering at your local community college. Finding a reliable bulk supplier of fedoras and pinstripe suits is nigh-on impossible. Teaching your underlings the fine art of stallion decapitation requires amounts of patience and equine physiology that very few men possess.
Luckily, the upcoming sequel to EA's well-recieved adaptation of Coppola's magnum opus, The Godfather II, looks to be an in-depth survival guide on the nuances of mafia management -- perfect for that up-and-coming kingpin in your life. The above trailer shows some of the finer points of Donship, and gives a great look at some of the lovely locales we'll be viciously extorting come February. That little Cuban restaurant would look so charming with a prostitution ring in the back room, don't you agree?

I am interested but I still need to play the first one.

Why does it look like Vice City on the PS2?

I liked the first game; it had some good ideas, but also a tendency to recycle them over and over.
That theme music is still classic, though.

That theme music will ALWAYS be classic.

The game might be fun in the end, but those visuals seemed a bit sub-par.

I noticed the buggy lightning engine and the bad animation (and low frame rate to boot!) but to me the driving didn't look very good either.

Yo come to me on the day of my daughter's wedding asking me for money?
I hope someone says that somewhere in the game...

The first game was fun and I'm sure this will be too...but was that video taken from the secret PS2 or Wii version or something? Those graphics were kinda awful.

Wow.. this game looks like ass.

While I try not to knock a game on looks alone, this one looks like it took a beating from several ugly sticks, then buried in the desert.

I'm not sure if it's the fact that the VA sounds a bit like Ray Liotta or what, but this almost seems more like a Goodfellas game to me than a Godfather game.
