Gamespot has no mercy!
The graphics overall have, in my opinion have increased. The explosions are just as colorful and blow-up-e as the first one, only now you can have someone else blow stuff up for you. There are also many pedestrians, and fast looking cars which looks nice.
My only major complaints is the fact that when your driving down a road, sometimes you hit a car that never was there! Very annoying. Happens when running. All of a sudden you hit another person to stop your enjoyment.
I haven't played it as much as I'd like to but the Godfather 2 is turning out average. I would think that most of you if you play it or planning on playing it, try not to get to frustrated with everything that could go wrong just try your hardest to enjoy it. Also ignore the Gmespot review. It offers no insight on what really is good for a reader to hear. Lately they have had very little to no mercy on their recent reviews.
