Taking over business and extorting them is a bit of a trick. Each business owner has different ways of convincing them. Some, you may slap them around, others destroying their property, or even just showing a weapon may be enough. In this game, the mechanics of extorting is better executed. When you reach the owner a bar will appear on the top of the screen and the bar will mover to the right as you try to convince them. You have to be careful, as each one has a different tolerance level, and if you go too far, they die and you have to leave the business and come back later. A certain amount of time must pass before you can go back and try it again.

You can also find people around town that need favors taken care of. Whether it be a scorned lover or a debt owed. They are looking for someone to take care of it, and that someone is you. Once completed you can either receive money or information on rival families, which will help you get further into the game. There is a plot within the game, tied loosely around the film, yet most of the time, you seem to just repeat the same thing over and over again.

Driving around in the open world is for a lack of a better word, OK. The graphics are good, yet the rest tend to remind me too much of the GTA series, as there really isn’t any difference. Stealing cars, shooting objects, or kicking the crap out of people, it’s a much of the same. Shooting isn’t anything special either, but there is a large cache of weapons to use from knives, sticks, pistols, shotguns, and even the trusty ole’ Tommy gun. The open world isn’t really all that open. You are forced to stay within a certain area within a level, almost to the point of becoming claustraphobic.
