Unsurprisingly and unimaginatively, the onus in Gangsters 2 is again on creating and maintaining a massive crime empire, except this time there's much more of a real-time feel to the game. In fact, we could stop the review right here and you'd be better off for it, as would Hothouse Creations, but alas, we're duty-bound to warn you, so here goes. The reality is that Gangsters 2 is a massive disappointment and even more so when you realise that developer Hothouse Creations seems to have learnt nothing in the two and a half years since it released the awful Gangsters: Organised Crime. So, the fact that this particular game has already gone straight to number one in Electronic Boutique's chart is hugely misleading and totally unmerited. Publishers are renowned for not releasing review code of poor games to magazines in order to get a few sales under their belt before the full gory truth is revealed. Gangsters 2 is in the shops as this is being written and that's instantly suspicious.
