I've been playing for the past 2 hours or so. Without spoiling anything, I will say this...you won't be disappointed.

I've extorted 3 shops already, and taken over a few rackets as well. I died six times trying to take over a shop run by the Cuneo family. There's two Cuneo wiseguys standing outside the shop, and a couple across the street. So I whipped out my .38 snubnose, shot three of em in the face, and shot the fourth guy in the knee caps. Then I casually walked up to him, and put another round in his skull.

Then I walked into the shop, roughed up the owner, and took over his business.

BTW, whoever ended up voicing Vito for the game has done an INCREDIBLE job. He sounds just like Marlon Brando's Vito!

Ok, I'm going back to playing now.
