EA and Paramount Digital Entertainment have announced that The Godfather II video game is scheduled for release in the UK on March 6, 2009 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

In The Godfather II players will immerse themselves in a 1960’s organised crime world. As a Don, they will build a crew and grow their family in an effort to become the most powerful mob syndicate in America.

While retaining the action elements of the first The Godfather game, the sequel also introduces strategic gameplay mechanics never before seen in an open-world game. Using the Don’s View, a 3D representation of the player’s criminal empire, players will need to coordinate their strategy, plan hits on rival Made men, attack enemy rackets, and much more.

EA has also announced that players who pre-order The Godfather II at participating retailers worldwide will receive an exclusive crew member, named Tommy Cipolla, to hire into their family. Tommy will be the only crew member to possess two specialities – arsonist and medic – as well as carry a level-two double-barrelled shotgun.

The Godfather II is scheduled for release for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on March 6, 2009.
