Electronic Arts has confirmed that mobster sequel The Godfather II will be hitting UK shores on March 6, 2009.

Set in the 1960’s, the game has players expanding their crime empire throughout New York, Cuba and Florida via extortion, defeating rival gangs and various other illegal activities.

As mentioned previously, the game features a new perspective known “Don’s View”, allowing players to zoom out to a strategic map of the surrounding boroughs giving you the opportunity to spy on your competition, as well as plan heists and manage resources.

Furthermore, the infamous Blackhand control scheme from the original Godfather game will make a return, incorporating an all-new combo system, pressure tactics and executions.

Players will be required to fight alongside a handpicked crew comprised of various family members, each one possessing their own unique abilities, including demolitions, arson, engineering and first-aid.

The Godfather II will be released for PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360.

    I think they picked a really bad launch date. A lot of people will be playing KZ2. Pity, as it sounds pretty good.

    Might give this a chance. Hopefully they don't do a remake on the last one (part 3).

     At 2 you should give this game a chance cause the 1st one was great (one of my favorites of all time) but it's not a remake of Godfather part II, it's a completely different story
