Your name is Mario, you are one of five brothers of the Mangano family. Your peaceful life in Palermo, Sicily is suddenly shattered by the shocking death of one of your brothers. The perpetrators are closer than you would think.

Your three brothers, you discover, were the scum who murdered your little brother Chico. They fled to Paradise City, located in the New World, before anyone could lay a hand on them. Now it’s your mission to get to their haven and avenge your youngest sibling. You’re sent to apprentice under your uncle Vincenzo and learn the ways of running a gang. You get your first mob henchmen and you begin your journey to becoming the most feared mobster in Paradise City. That’s right, [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/gangland]Gangland is now in the GOG.com catalog for just $5.99

Gangland’s setting is a 1930s American city that is oddly reminiscent of Chicago, but the setting is also filled with over the top humor and action so that you don’t take the game too seriously. What’s in Gangland that turns the mob violence meter to 11? How about Humvees, bazookas, and ninjas helping your gang? It isn’t a generic mob tycoon, Gangland is a hybrid between a real time strategy, an isometric shooter, and a life simulation. As you gain experience you can have more mobsters under your command and train them and equip them with more deadly means of persuasion. Apart from that, you can extort protection money from small businesses, be a pimp, try your hand at the occasional bit of arson here and there, and the whack wiseguys for your uncle Vincenzo. All the things you’d expect from a serious mobster.

After taking over a business you can hire the employees to work for you, so as you control more of Paradise City, your pool of possible mobsters rises as well. Once you’ve got a sizable bunch of guys in your crew, you’ll be able to load them up into a car, fit them out with tommy guns, and wreak havoc drive-by style! The city itself is pumping with life, with over 800 unique characters living their everyday life, just waiting to become victims--or additions!--to your mob. Policemen and some civilians will carry guns so don’t expect to pop someone in front of a crowd of people and get away quietly.

So if you ever wanted to be the mobster that has the whole town trembling in fear, Gangland is yours, DRM-Free, for only $5.99!
"Your name is Mario"
No, it's not.

The release makes me miss Gangsters: Organized Crime.
"That’s right, Gangland is now in the GOG.com catalog for just $9.99"

Should be $5.99. :P
third release in a row i gonna pass on.
never heard of that game before (maybe never released in germany?).
But looks a bit strange... I think I will wait for a sale, before I get this.
Never heard of this one, but it looks very interesting. Wishlisted!
Wishlisting for now, may grab it when it goes on sale (or if my backlog ever clears, which I doubt).
Typo on the gamecard: "Galngland"
Looks interesting.

I'm going to look for some gameplay videos on YT (not so subtle hint for GOG staff) ;)
Wasn't this the sequel to Hooligans? Hooligans was pretty much universally panned for outdated graphics, poor AI and dull gameplay.

Unique blend of RTS, RPG, SIM, and ‘helluva-lotta’ action
I like strategies, management and RPGs so I wonder how good is that blend. Not sure at the moment, will wait for opinions but could be interesting.

All of those had made Hooligans fun! Or that was just me. :)
Wishlist for now dont know much about this but looks interesting

grviper: The release makes me miss Gangsters: Organized Crime.
Ditto.
Still, this looks interesting, so I'll probably get it some time in the future.
It is certainly an interesting blend of genres. But I did not enjoy it very much. Potential customers should definitely read some reviews before buying.

Serpantino: No, this has nothing to do with Hooligans. And xxxIndyxxx: No, Gangland got a sequel called Escape from Paradise City.
