This is hands down the most immersive crime managerial games ever made. Maybe it's the genre, but every strategy game with this amount of detail eventually starts to go haywire after awhile. We will start with the cons. The worst part about this game, is the A.I. 1) A.I. - Such is the case with this game, as mostly (even in games that last 100 weeks) you can expect the A.I. to start an all-out blood-bath against you or war. This happens regardless of context, and they shoot indiscriminately. The A.I. seems to expand at a rate higher than yours, all with less resources and men, but regardless by week 10 you will find one of the families controlling nearly 40% of the city. They rarely try out new rackets, or businesses, and primarily seem to invest in Insider Trading rackets, or extortion (which almost always ends up with them in jail and their eventual conviction by week 20). Even if you have 100 men, and Red has 20, they could still unrealistically control more. The player controlled NPC's when ordered to flee from an aggressor tend to run head-first into bullets , or sometimes walk into them and don't fire - leaving them to die on the sidewalk. Annoying and costly. Why? 2) Hardware Issues This could be due to me porting the game to a Mac OS using Wine, but the mouse does not work 99% of the time. The only way to move around the map is by clicking and selecting blocks and dragging them to the corner of the screen, moving one to two blocks at a time. As this is a game where you have to give each individual man an order each turn, this can get extremely annoying. There are graphical bugs and it crashes sometimes after a certain point, (week 32) Pros: 1) From rackets ranging in loan sharking, moonshining, to gambling, to legal ways of making money by investing in businesses, this game has at least a thousand options for you to build on to make your money. If you love the time period, and the mafia, this is the game to prick your finger for. 2) Game is open world.
