The Godfather II is a mixed bag of goodies. On one hand it's an action game and the other a strategy game. The action is similar to the first Godfather game including such elements as hand-to-hand combat, shooting, and the ability to grab people, head butt, knee, or choke them out. This all ties into a "weakness" system explained in a bit.
The strategy elements are what make you feel like a Don. You strategize what kind of mob specialties, such as arson, medicine, or demolitions, your "family" will have, how many goons will protect your "rackets," and where you'll strike next. Many of the strategy actions can be managed from the new "Don's View" map screen, but picking family members with certain specialties is done on the streets.
Expand your mafia family with arsonists, medics, and demolition experts.
All in the Family
At the beginning of the game, Don Michael Corleone appoints you head of the New York crime family, and your first job is to start writing in the family tree with new blood. A new feature in The Godfather II allows you to welcome seven "made men" into your family. These guys will fight by your side throughout the game, and each have certain specialties that enable them to rig cars with explosives, revive fallen family members in the heat of battle, and burn down rackets.
The four lowest members of your family are called soldiers and only have one specialty. But later in the game you can upgrade their skills, such as marksmanship and melee combat, or promote them to Capo rank and grant them another specialty. For example, you could have a medic that is also a demolitions man.
