The game's story is loosely based on The Godfather: Part Two, the movie by Francis Ford Coppola. In order to achieve this, you get tips and help from Frank Pentangeli, an old made man, to gather up a family and start taking over rackets and businesses. When Aldo is shot and killed by Cuban revolutionaries, Michael Corleone charges you with taking over his role within the family and from there you must begin expanding the family's control of the crime world. In the game you play as Dominic a young man in the employ of Aldo Trapini, the previous game's protagonist. Godfather II is set in 1959 and has been expanded to take place over 3 cities: Miami, Havana and New York City. In this sequel to the 2006 release, The Godfather: The Game, EA Redwood Shores again allows players to attempt to build their own crime empire by defeating rival gangs and taking over local businesses.
