Gangsters: Organized Crime

While the game runs there are gameplay and AI limitations that completely break the experience. Pathfinding is terrible and hoods will frequently take the 6 block route to go the half block place you've directed them. Kill orders typically fail against running targets ( so when your office is known your chances of intercepting murder squads you absolutely know are coming are near 0. When I say fail I mean generally your hoods don't even shoot, they run next to them for a bit and give up, or they run next to them for a bit not firing and police shoot your hoods. ) Your limited to 4 hoods guarding your offices front in total out of your entire gang, so the enemy gangs 4 person hit squad will generally kill about ten of your hoods per attack in collateral damage. All the breaking bugs seem to effect only the player though. I want so badly for this game to be good but playing it is fighting the screwed up mechanics processing in addition to the AI opponents. When I say screwed up mechanics, I don't mean I don't like the mechanics, I mean they do not function properly.

I could have swore it said the game was compatible on Windows 10 but it is not, So far I've only found 1 fix (allegedly) but I'm not going to download this, download that and install things only to find out they don't work either. Oh well, it was only $1.49 but still a waste of money and I wanted so bad to play this game because it was fun.

My lord was I disappointed. This and Gangsters 2 with Joey "bloodbath" Bane informed my childhood and I was more than excited to play this. I know enough about computers to get why it doesn't operate. Tried everything, much like Alpha Protocol it just seems lost to time at this point and my memories will have to be enough. Had to refund, giving the product 5 stars because I don't have the heart to rate something so great one star because its not the 90s anymore.

Better than Empire of Sin.

The game brings so many memories! I used to play this as a kid, all the time after school and homeworks haha... Beware though, the game will not work out of the box on Windows10. You need to follow the instructions on this Github page: https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/wiki/Gangsters-Organized-Crime It's safe, and the game text appears after those manipulations.
