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!
It's me Mario! Oh, wrong game.
Looks like my kind of sim, but will wishlist for now...
THANK YOU GOG!

I was about to buy it on DotEmu, but I waited out for a GOG release ;) Took a damn long time but here it is! :D
have no clue about this game ? looks like a mob rule type game *adds to wishlist
It is a fucking great game. Think of it as Mafia / GTA in business simulation mode with some RTS and RPG elements.

But wait one second!

The game also has multiplayer, why does the page say it is single player only?
Sure, I am always interested in some mafia action.
I seem to remember getting this as a bundle to a gaming magazine. It's an OK game but I couldn't get really into it. Maybe I'll try it again.

I'll pass for now.
I might be slow on the uptake, but when was Windows 7 officially supported by GOG (as I've noticed all games are now)?

I remember playing a demo for this on my Mac several years ago and it seemed fun, I was just worried that the full game wouldn't be very long (as every good sim/rpg and world needs time to flourish) and that the variety wouldn't grow much past what the demo offered.

I don't recall enough about this game but I do remember briefly playing its demo. I remember thinking this isn't bad. Good to see more diversity here on GOG. Anyway it's on the wishlist for now, playlist is still too massive.
First game I see here that no one's sure about. No one knows wether it's awesome or terrible or wether will buy or not soon. I personally never heard of it. Amazing.

I'll check some gameplay videos later, this looks like it could be good.
Looks OK, nice to see some diversity. When I saw that car on the banner, I thought: Not another racing game...I'll wait until I see some more reviews coming in.

Amazing game. Enough? :D

Basically the game has you micromanaging your gang empire. The more missions you complete, the higher in ranks (in the Mafia) you rise, the more weapons and cars you have available. Soon, you will start feeling the need to overthrow your uncle, and take leadership of the Mafia.

Once you are the leader of your Mafia, you start acquiring distillery factories, shops, restaurants, motels, hotels, garages, car shops, to generate weapons, tools, money, alcohol, and various other things for you. This attracts the police, but you can always fight them, or put them on your payroll.

The multiplayer was amazingly fun, basically, several players start building their empires in the same city. Soon you'd see shady deals happening, wars going on, buildings being destroyed (yes, that can happen too)...

For 6 dollars, it is an amazing value. One thing that bothers me, is has the GOG crew removed the multiplayer?

Can we get some official reply for this?

Maybe they've changed it, but... I just read the gamecard, and it stated that it has multi-player.

Yup, it appears that they've changed it.
