The only problem with this game is it has a high learning curve. But really all you have to do is follow along in the instruction book and you'll figure it out in no time. When I first played I went straight to playing so I was lost. Don't be dumb like me... follow the instructions. You'll be thinking about your gangsters all of the time. The only problem I found is that there wasn't enough interaction. As in like if you could go walk around in your casino in first person and stuff. The greatest part of the game is that your always having problems. Either you have cops knocking on your door 24-7, or an opposing Gangster is moving in next door. It's your job to get rid of the gangster and maybe pay off the cops. And you have to think like a gangster in the 20s. You can't just kill kill kill. Or you'll be arrested before you can say you rule the city. You have three different ways of winning. Run for mayor, defeat everyone, or be a millionare and just walk away. Bad part is you can't verse people like "Lucky" Luciano, Al Capone, and Bugsy Moran. But still an awesome game. Highly recommended to strategy gamers.

Best game ever

This is the greatest game in the world. It is so cool how you can blow up buildings and kill cops and bribe people. I can't wait until Gangsters2. Parents don't worry this game isn't influential because it is fake and in the 1920's

You're are going to buy this game, see?

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.

Fun, Exciting, and a good challenge

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!

Very good themed gamed

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.

WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

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!

Great game you should try it

This game while it can get complicated is alot of fun. It has alot of very good points to it. It is the most realistic gang style game I have found as it lets you corrupt officials, build fronts and illegal bussiness as well as legitimate. You can even run for mayor of the city. a difinte good buy.

Just Say Wow

I bought this game 3 days after xmas. Looking for a little action i found this game on the shelf. I didn't even hear about it until i went home and played it. I thought that it was the stupidest game I had ever bought. but then i decided to explore the game on the internet and finally i learned how to play it and how to control everything.... Now! gangsters is on my top 3 list of games... Don't even borrow this game.. BUY it. if you borrow it BURN it!
