Gangsters 2 like or not?

[Metalbreath]

Hello everyone.
This game really reminds me one of my most fav games Gangsters 2 that I used to play. Im sure many of you already own it though the same.

So before buying it I would like to ask the people who know both games,

is anything like Gangsters 2? I know due to law, it shouldnt be the same game aka have different features etc.

What is your opinion?

Hey buddy I don't know the answer to your question, but I too am looking to play games similiar to gangsters 2..... Let me know if you find anything please, very interested myself.

EDIT: It has a demo on the steam page, plus its for sale. Ill give it a go :)

Omerta is a much "lighter" type of game than Gangsters 2, less "hardcore" if you wish.
Especially if you consider the micro-management and strategic aspects.

It was made by the developers who make the Tropico series.
Just as Tropico is a simplified version of the SimCity games, Omerta is a simplified version of the Gangster games. So don't expect the same level of depth and complexity as in Gangsters.

If you like the "old-time" gangster theme then Omerta is actually quite good.
For one thing the atmosphere of the game is very nice, with the voice-acting, music and such.

The tactical combat was awesome to me, it was the best thing about Omerta.
It was challenging even on Normal difficulty.
It struck a nice balance between complexity and easy management.
You really had to think about your surroundings and your gangmember's skills and weapons.

How much combat you do in the game depends mostly on yourself.

The weak part of the game is the empire-building aspect.
There's not much strategizing involved with it unless you play on a higher difficulty level.
Playing the game on Easy or Normal will trivialize the whole Empire-building aspect because it is just too easy.

However the combat becomes very, very difficult on these higher settings.
So on the whole the game feels rather unbalanced.

The game feels like it was intentionally dumbed down to be playable on a mobile platform. It's mildly entertaining, but there are much better things out there for you to spend time on.

Thank you guys. Well due to copy rights I didnt expect it to be the SAME as Gangsters 2 (unfortunately).

So if its at least close to (even if its easier) I can always put the difficulty up.

Thank you once again... Im going for it :)

Kyle.... See you on the battlefield of GangNoobSters

If there was a kickstarter for a Gangsters remake I'd pool all my money to that mother.

[Kyle]

yeah.... don't like it either... Think I might DL gangsters 2 and re-do the campaign again atleast..

Oh jack wouldn;t that be sweet!

Unless Eidos wont make Gangster 3, you wont find a new version of it.
