'The Godfather II' video game photos

Will this interactive crime drama make you an offer you can't refuse?

No, that's not a typo; the second game based on Francis Ford Coppola's classic movie series—which Electronic Arts will release for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on Feb. 12—isn't exactly an adaptation of his 1974 classic "The Godfather, Part II." Instead, it's a sequel to 2006's "The Godfather: The Game," which casts players as wanna-be mafia men of their own naming. This time out, Michael Corleone has players traveling to Havana, New York City and Miami during the 1950s to test hands-on management skills.

"The Godfather II" remains largely a third-person shooter/brawler, but also adds strategic elements that make it easier to manage your criminal empire. Take a look in our gallery of screenshots. —Paul Semel, Special To Metromix
