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

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!

Gangland rocks

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.

Gangland Join the MOB.

GREAT! Be a member of the mob without the short life expectancy.
Requires planning, but worth the effort.
Much more depth than other games.
Fun.

This game rocks

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.

Gangland is sooo tight

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 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 !!

For "Gangster Strategy" Themed Games, this is THE Best!!!

Gangland is definitely the "Capo Di Tutti"(Boss of all Bosses) of all "gangster strategy" games out there, that is why it gets a 5 star rating. Yes, the field is small in the "gangster strategy" category, though there are some worthy contenders, most notably, Gangsters1(classic) and Gangsters2(some people didn't like it because of no sandbox mode like the original, but it was still an enjoyable game overall).

Gangland far exceeds all of them, with great graphics, sound, and gameplay. The game does everything as a whole very well!! Whether its buying an Arms Dealer and setting up a Gambling Den in the back of the place, or blowing up buildings, or my personal favorite, the infamous drive-by's!! This is a very addicting game!!

There are some minor flaws in Gangland, as most games do have, but they don't detract from the overall game experience and are easily overlooked. There is no "in-game" save during missions(though this will be coming in future patches), the voice-overs are a little short and weak, but not out of place.

Even with these little short-comings, Gangland extorts all other games that compare to it. There most likely will be a Gangsters3 from Hothouse/Eidos, but Gangland has set the bar very very high!! A DEFINITE must buy for anyone who loves this genre of game!!
