I just played the demo and it blew me away, literally. This game has it all. If you like mod games this is the the crown royal, you can do it all in this game. I will be playing this demo every day until the game comes out.

Anyone that thinks Grand Theft Auto is good is going to love Gangland. I just played the Gangland demo for the first time and wow it blows GTA out of the water. Better graphics, better game play. Go from shooting people to building up your businesses in town. Start from scratch and build your own family into the most powerful family in town.

I just played the demo after reading some of the reviews here and on some other sites - to say I'm impressed just doesn't do justice. This is by far one of the best action/strategy games to come along in years. I wouldn't compare it to GTA because they are completely different styles of gameplay, but I would DEFINITELY say that this game is as good as GTA in terms of quality and fun. Multiplayer is seriously going to ROCK!

This game has been so under the radar until now, it's been hard to get details on all the games features. But, I gotta agree with a lot of the other reviewers' comments. The demo is cool, graphics are slick, and the gameplay is pretty addictive. The only reason why I didn't give this game 5 stars is that I'm more of a FPS and Sports gamer. Even so, I'll be getting this one for sure!

I just bought the new Game Gangland, what a great game! I love the story and action. I ususally don't go for the games with isometric view, but after trying out the demo, I had to get this game.

It's the Real Deal!

Fun and action-packed! I happen to really like mob movies and action games with a lot of gun battles/strategy, so the game really appeals to me because it's almost like a combo of the two. Somebody else compared it to GTA and I agree.

Awesome Game

I came across the coming soon trailer for the game and downloaded it. It looked cool so I downloaded the demo. I must say this game is awesome, it is like playing the Sims on steroids. You have a highly detailed cityscape with a whole bunch of NPCs walking around while you duke it out with other crime families.

The battles are superb for an RTS game that has this much depth. The demo is only a few levels but I can't wait to buy the game and really become a full "Don" in control of a whole organized crime syndicate!

THIS GAME IS A MUST HAVE if you like RTS games, mob games and action games !!

MOB RULES TWIN BROTHER PLUS EXTRA's

I have greatly enjoyed playing GANGLAND so far. It's simple, yet, still hard to "master". Getting use to the camara controls using the ALT key is probably the hardest thing to overcome. But, once you get past that part, this game is right up there with MOB RULE for fun and entertaining. It has simularities to RTS with missions within conquests of the game. There are 16 conquests with a number of missions per conquest, but, you can still play each conquest open ended to your hearts content. Of course as you get futher and futher into the conquests they get harder and harder, but, that's the fun of it, you get your money's worth in challenge. Multiplayer can be played against other players or the computer and there's 20 conquests in the multiplayer feature as well, though simular to the single player games. Multiplayer vs the computer can be even harder than the single player, it seems the computer AI gets more men in the MP game and faster than in the SP version.

There's a patch out for it already, that supposedly allows you to save mid conquest, I've played without it though, I like the added challenge of having to complete a conquest before it autosaves. I guess some whiney babies can't handle having to start over...waaaah! lol

This one is going to last longer than MOB RULE did, MOB RULE was great but too short IMHO. Just as I was starting to drool MOB RULE was over! lol. I'm in the 7th conquest now and it's rip roaring smacking blasting good fun. Kinda miss that line from Mob Rule though "Hey MOOK!" just before yah blasted them.

If you like this sorta type game, Mafia, Mobs, Gangs, Godfather type games, you will certainly like GANGLAND. If you don't buy this, I'd watch my back if I were you, you might just hear someone behind you say "HEY MOOK!" lol

So far I've only played the demo version of the game. Unfortunately I've never been able to complete a game without it crashing on me and my friends. With that being said I'm still giving this 4 stars because it's a hell of a lot of fun to play (especially in safehouse mode). The FFA mode kinda blows - you start with a set amount of dudes and attack the other side and that's it. With safehouse mode though it's a completely different story. You start out with your main guy (don't let him die!) and a bouncer. From there you can take over the entire city, hire tons of guys, do missions and more. I hope the full version has more than 2 players on a safehouse map. This would definately be a good game for LAN parties.
