Summary: Organize your crime
Review: An older but classic strategy game where you call the shots as one of several competing mob bosses. You determine each week's orders for your various hoods, from recruiting more hoods to setting up illegal businesses or bribing officials. Your hoods can commit minor crimes such as extorting money from local businesses for "protection," or commit more violent offenses such as theft, arson, assault, or murder. You also supply your hoods with the right weapons and vehicles for the job.

After the orders are given and you hit the street, you can follow the individuals and see they do, giving basic orders with mouse clicks. Will they run into other hostile gang members or the police?

Win the game three ways-abandon crime and go straight, run for mayor and get elected, or destroy all the other crime bosses. The game has a fantastic concept and premise, which provides for a lot of entertainment.

There are several major drawbacks to the game. The first is the clunky interface as you try to administer your orders. It can take forever to sort through all your recruits and see who is worth keeping, and it takes a lot of repetitive clicking and dragging to get all of your orders situated. Also, once the week gets started, it is difficult to really be able to follow all of your hoods, and you can't give them very good instructions.

If you love the idea of running a fantasy mob enterprise, then this is the best game out there. The graphics in games have improved in the last few years, but this game still provides a lot of entertainment, especially for the money. I have to say I like this game.

Summary: Very good themed gamed
Review: Gangsters is a very good game, it has good graphics, and some pretty real sounding sound effects. In this game, you are the leader of one of the gangs in the city, and its your lob to wipe out the other gangs and take over the city. What i think is really fun, is picking a fight with an innocent person walking along the rode, and you go and shoot him and run, hehe but after you do that cops might try and chase you down, and i found how to control that, is by having at least 3 or 4 of my gang with each other and have all of them shoot at the cops, because the cops have some damn good body armor on, and it takes a few extra bullets to take em.

What i also think is fun is to go blow up a building, and the most thing about blowing things up is to try and toss a few bombs in the police station and run like hell, use one of your goons with a fast car, so he can get away without being ran down.

Summary: AWESOME!
Review: Gangsters is the best game ever! At first it is a little difficult to understand all the buttons, but go through the tutorials and its a breeze. You'll love blowing up buildings and finding new gangsters and buying old cars. It does't get any better than this!

Summary: You're are going to buy this game, see?
Review: Gangsters Organized Crime is, in my opinion, one of the best games ever made! I play it hour after hour, day after day, and it dosn't get old till you have to stop. The first time I saw it, I new I wanted it. I had never heard about it at all until I saw it. Finally I got it for my birthday. You can not believe how fun this game is. You start out designing your facial features from a pool of hair designes and faces. You even pick a nickname for yourself! Then you pick the gang color, the number of hoods, buisnesses, and money you have, and you'r of. Once playing you extort buildings so you can collect protection money. Buy buisnesses and send hoods to run them. Build illiegal buisnesses such as a speakeasy, casino, and lloan shark. While doing so you compete to gain control of the city from three other gangs. You purchase weapons and cars to take out the enemy. Order hits, bribes, and recruitments. Each hood has special abilities, so assemble indivisoual teams for certain perposes! Order your lawyer to pay of the police, and their no llonger a problem. Take out the witnesses and bribe judges to save your men, our you. You win when you have killed all other three gangsters, you become the mayor, or you go strait. This game doew take a few hours to get the hang of it, but it's worth it. It is'nt worth paying five dollars less to not be able to enjoy this wonderful game. There are a few thing that I hope will be improved in the sequal. You can only order eighty hoods in one week, you can not frame your enimies, and it is hard to get territory once some one else has it. These are minor though, I highly recomend this game. However, it might pay to wait a few months for the sequel.

Summary: Fun, Exciting, and a good challenge
Review: Great game, lots of different things to do! Like different ways to win, and many different things to do during the week,( Bomb Buildings, Collect Protection, Bribe, Kill, Buy and Run Legal and Illegal Businesses, and more!) Barley any blood, when people die they fall down and dissapear, a chalk outline of the body remains. And normaly your not paying attention to that person... Very "Hustle and Bustle" kind of game! So get the demo and try it out very fun and exciting! It's also a good challenge too, just what I like!

Summary: Another Crowd Pleaser
Review: I am a huge huge fan of simulation games. This game I think topped it all off. Even though I think the sims is the best simulation game ever to go on the market. This isn't to far away. This game actually makes you feel like your a godfather of a huge crime organization. It gives you the feeling that you are in an authentic 1920's new york neighbourhood. This is a must buy for any simulation fanatic.
