A stunning disappointment…
I thought back to the original Godfather game and remembered the reason why I never became a ‘Don’. I grew tired of running around taking over a great number of businesses just to achieve that title. The same can be said for Godfather II (GFII). After an introductory level you are given advice on why it is important to take over as many rackets as you can. In GFII, when you or a competing family controls every business in a given racket, a reward is unlocked. Some of the rewards are bullet proof vests, decreased costs for guards, extra ammo and more. If a rival family is sporting the latest in bulletproof-wares, all you have to do is take out a single business in the racket that rewarded them; to do so you either have to take it over or bomb it and they lose those spiffy vests. Just remember that it works against you as well.
