Gangsters (Jewel Case) 
Rating:  -
I bought this game almost one year ago and I still like to play it (Such games are rather rare).
This game is so realistic! You give your orders at the start of a working week or during the weekend. This is realistic, because in the real world you can't be everywhere at the same moment and you can't give orders during your working week.
It's still fun because every game has different gangsters and the maps are each time randomly generated. No two games are the same.
If you want a game which will keep you busy for a while and you don't want to spend much money on it (only 10$!), I would say: BUY GANGSTERS

Gangsters Organized Crime is, in my opinion, one of the best games ever made! I play it hour after hour, day after day, and it dosn't get old till you have to stop. The first time I saw it, I new I wanted it. I had never heard about it at all until I saw it. Finally I got it for my birthday. You can not believe how fun this game is. You start out designing your facial features from a pool of hair designes and faces. You even pick a nickname for yourself! Then you pick the gang color, the number of hoods, buisnesses, and money you have, and you'r of. Once playing you extort buildings so you can collect protection money. Buy buisnesses and send hoods to run them. Build illiegal buisnesses such as a speakeasy, casino, and lloan shark. While doing so you compete to gain control of the city from three other gangs. You purchase weapons and cars to take out the enemy. Order hits, bribes, and recruitments. You win when you have killed all other three gangsters, you become the mayor, or you go strait. I recomend that if you buy the game either buy the box with the manual, or wait for the sequal, which sounds even better. It does take a few hours to get the hang of it, but it's worth it. It is'nt worth paying five dollars less to not be able to enjoy this wonderful game. There are a few thing that I hope will be improved in the sequal. You can only order eighty hoods in one week, you can not frame your enimies, and it is hard to get territory once some one else has it. These are minor though, I highly recomend this game. However, it might pay to wait a few months for the sequel.

If your idea of fun is running spreadsheets and playing hunt and click with your mouse, then this is the game for you. If you want a serious simulation of the 1920's ganster era, move on. There is plenty of chrome in the game and a lot of fun concepts, but the bottom line is that its a spreadsheet game that has you more interested in completing columns than robbing banks. The action part of the game has a cumberson interface that leaves your "crooks" out of control and more often dead than alive. You are barraged by red herring audio clues and an inablity to find where signifcant audio items have occured. Think long and hard before you buy this game.

I found this game to be very fun and stimulating.The game is quite difficult especially in handling your tasks once the week started.The wars with the other gangsters are very quick,sudden, and bloody, often with you losing more men than the enemy.My overall opinion of this game is it is pretty entertaining, but i hope now that Eidos will make another one without the difficulties of the first one.Now that the game type is out, I believe there will be more to follow.I believe this is a good game for the price.There will undoubtedly be more and better mafia games to come.
