The Godfather II's Combat Experience is "The Best in the Genre"

Electronic Arts executive producer Hunter Smith claims the combat experience in the upcoming title The Godfather II is the best in the genre.

Hunter smith's claims are certainly brave, as he continued to praise the game:

It's a very intuitive experience. To go hand-to-hand we moved from having to lock on to everybody just to interact with them and then stick mashing to right and left controls so you really feel that you're tied into your avatar in terms of your right and left hands. We also added combos because we have the right and left experience.

Shooting in the game was described as "completely free aim all the time. You can then lock on and move within the lock on window for headshots or knee shots or to shoot a weapon out of a guy's hand."

The Godfather II is set for release on February 27, 2009.
