Unintuitive and Confusing

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 1999
Review: A gangster simulation is a great and fun idea, but this game gets bogged down in the details. A good idea was wasted on this game. I'm still looking for someone to put out a fun gangster game.

I installed the game and immediately tried to...

GANGSTERS: IT'S GOOD TO BE BAD

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 1999
Review: If you're a prohibition era organized crime fan or if you like turn based/real time strategies I recommend gangsters. It's based in a prohibition era fictional city. You start out as a lowly boss in your own gang of up to ten. Each week, you assign...

Gangsters: Ain't it the Best

Date of Review:  Jun 22, 2000
Review: This game can't get any better. It has two game interfaces. 1) your office, where you command your hoods, 2) the streets, where you look after your hoods, and where the orders happen. This is where the fun begins. Sometimes things can get annoying...

Missing lots of good things

Date of Review:  May 31, 2000
Review: I got Gangsters with the notion it would be a killer game. There were a lot of good aspects, making hits, running illegal operations, extortion and all the "fun" things about running a 1930's style Gang operation. But there were plenty of bad things...

Rubik's Cube Revisited?

Date of Review:  May 17, 2000
Review: Okay, so you didn't listen to that Special Someone and decided to put up that lightning rod you saw on the Shopping Network yourself. The storm hit, you got struck off the roof by God for being stupid, and you fall off and land on your head. What do...

Eidos, what were you thinking?

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2000
Review: I was at my friendly neighborhood game retailer when I stumbled across this game. It looked promising until I got it home & started playing it. The abilities of the "Gang" were amazing, but getting these things done is another story in its self. I...

A Great Game for the Mob Movie Fan

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2000
Review: Hothouse Creations/Eidos Interactive's 1998 crime simulation strategy game "Gangsters: Organized Crime" is perfect for the person who likes gangster flicks. This game combines the planning aspect of games like "SimCity" with action of a crime...

Review: I did not purchase this game, and boy am I thankful! I tried playing this game when I was at my brother's house. What a nightmare! I thought that this would be a fairly simple simulation game. He had talked about it like it was one of the best games...
