Gangland, the long anticipated RTS from Whiptail Interactive, is finally seeing release. The game promised a huge, open-ended game universe, action-oriented RTS gameplay and the ability to control many aspects of the Mafioso universe. However, the game falls short of the mark and many flaws prevent the game from living up to its potential. The game’s take on the “gangster game†subgenre is appreciated, although there are better offerings (as well as better RTS games).
Gangland puts you in the shoes of Mario Mangano, an immigrant from Sicily on a mission of revenge. It seems that three of your brothers murdered a fourth and then fled to Paradise City to make their mark on the crime underworld. You come to Paradise City to work under your uncle Vincenzo, find and kill your murderous brothers and build up your own criminal empire.
The first missions in the game are pretty standard RTS fare. In the first mission, you gain control of Mario and another henchman as you go around and collect extortion money from nearby businesses. These missions are randomly eventful, as sometimes you can complete these without a hitch and other times the thugs at the businesses will open fire on you, forcing you to kill them off. As the game progresses, you gain the ability to hire more and more henchmen, thus giving you a source of troops to complete the more intense missions in the game (as in when you have to kill off other mob bosses and so forth). The missions get harder and more complex as the game moves along, often requiring you to use resources like cars in order to complete them. Eventually, as you begin to gain control of the mob and its resources, the game will take more of a shift to the simulation aspects, requiring you to run your mob as you would any business, by taking over other businesses. In another strange gameplay twist, you can get a wife and have children (who can then go on to work in your business as they grow up).
