Play The Godfather II In Multiplayer Mode

Electronic Arts Inc. today announced that a new multiplayer mode, called Don Control, will be coming to The Godfather II game. This new mode will be available as a free downloadable patch right when the game releases on April 7th in North America and April 10th in Europe. Don Control takes the “Think Like a Don” strategic gameplay into an online environment and allows players to build a family, command them in battle and view the action from a bird’s eye view above.

Don Control introduces an additional layer of gameplay on top of the four multiplayer modes and six maps already available in the game and invites players to compete to see who is the ultimate Don of Dons. Players can now challenge one another in 16-player battles for their in-game currency from the single-player game. As a Don online, players can recruit others to join their family by giving them a cut of the profits. But if a player loses as Don, the in-game currency they wagered will be removed in their single-player campaign and their empire can come crumbling down.

The Godfather II takes the open-world genre in an entirely new direction by blending the furious combat of being a mobster with the strategic thinking of being a Don both offline and online. As a Don in the Corleone family, The Godfather II lets the player carve out their own story of deception, betrayal, and conquest in a 1960’s organized crime world. Players will have to build and invest in their family, command their crew, and manage their family business, all of which is done through the revolutionary Don’s View. The Don’s View is a 3D representation of the player's criminal empire, putting the player in the Don’s mindset; it allows them to coordinate their strategy, plan hits on rival made men, attack enemy rackets, and much more.

The Godfather II game from Electronic Arts and Paramount Digital Entertainment will be available on the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system, and PC. The game has been rated M for Mature by the ESRB and 18+ for PEGI. Players who pre-order The Godfather II at participating retailers worldwide will receive an exclusive crew member, named Tommy Cipolla, to hire into their family.

In Godfather II, the multiplayer is all about teamwork and strategy. Online Lead Designer Greg Rizzer said they didn’t want to create a multiplayer just for the sake of having a multiplayer – they wanted a system that was true to the “think like a Don, act like a gangster” motto of the Godfather II game. To that end, the maps are carefully balanced, entirely symmetrical and come with a recommended player number for maximum fairness. There’s also team chat which lets you talk to your crew or trash talk enemies that you’re standing near, and match-making options that let you exclude players with too high or too low a level.

The team wanted to make the multiplayer worthwhile so they removed the great invisible barrier separating the online mode from the single-player campaign. What we get is an intriguing feature, in which characters that you meet and recruit in your family in the single-player mode will end up as usable character in the multiplayer mode. On top of that, the money players earn online can be used in the single-player game, so the benefits of messing around online are huge. I also imagine that it’ll be rife for exploits, but it’s still an interesting idea and it brings up other wrinkles in the gameplay.

Despite the underlying strategy element of the single player game, The Godfather II’s multiplayer is more about the action, with a few twists thrown in to keep things interesting. For one, the character you choose to play with isn’t just some generic soldier. He’ll be one of your soldiers from in the game, preferably someone you’ve leveled up with a ton of different skills and upgrades. Soldiers in your family can acquire specialties, or they can have them already when you recruit them. Abilities like safe-cracking, arson, medic and demolitions are all skills that will help you in the single player game as well as multiplayer slapdowns. Members of your crew can also accrue upgrades, not unlike in an RPG. You’ll want to take your best soldiers online, the ones who’ve unlocked higher gun ratings (giving them access to better weaponry and better accuracy) or recovery time.

I have not played it till now but got some news about it. In the 2D MMORPG Wonderking you launch yourself into a colorful world full of adventure, in which people are waiting eagerly for a savior - the Wonder King. Are you ready, brave and clever enough, even the Wonder King to be? Then free the people from the constraints of the demon king Valrons.
