Gangsters: Organized Crime |
Strategy and Wargaming Game from Eidos Interactive, by Hothouse Creations
Strategy/management game. The game combines turn-based management with real-time gameplay. Set in the 1920s in a US city called New Temperance, you take the role of a gangster as he tries to build up his criminal empire and a stash of cash. During the game your character will be involved in activities such as extortion, assassination, running bootleg liquor, gambling, bribery and corruption. The layout of the city is randomly generated and is alive with a bustling population of 5000 people. There is also a set of tutorial levels.
You plan your activities in a weekly planning phase and then your gangsters carry out your orders in real-time. A map and numerous overlays and statistical tables help you manage your empire. You control your 'hoods' via up to eight Lieutenants, to whom you can issue direct orders, and you also employ a lawyer and accountant. The game's interface, 3D graphics and audio are effective.
