Gangsters (PC)

It was with great anticipation that I purchased this game after reading some really good reviews of it by fellow members and online computer reviewers. Alas, im sitting here disappointed and somewhat bemused to find the addiction factor and enjoyment level that this game gives to so many. Is there a money back guarantee on it? Im talking of course about Gangsters 2. A 1920's style American gang warfare game where you are the boss. You run a small time gang with the illusion of taking over the city for your own seedy operations. You must have heard of the prohibition wars in the USA during this time and the gangs that controlled the drinking in ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game a couple of months ago, firstly because I love Sim games, and secondly because it was a budget title and was retailing for a mere £4.99.

You decide who should lead that gang, and you then ...  Read the complete review

The graphics in Gangsters are top notch. The city of New Temperance is absolutely enormous, with all the hustle and bustle expected from an actual city. As you might expect, this type of detail doesn't come easily. The initial load time of the city takes awhile, but is happily worth it. The only serious problem lies with the inability to play the game with any success while all the buildings are in place, as often the skyline obscures the action. Upon removing the buildings, you are left with a cityscape more reminiscent of Fallout 2 than of the 1920's. The sound is absolutely fabulous. Your thugs make appropriate noises when they're off taking care ...  Read the complete review
