Story[edit]
Set from late 1928-early 1929, the game follows a character called 'Joey Bane'. Bane's father is murdered at the beginning by a mob controlling most of the state, with the capital of Temperance (the fictional state where the games are set). The leader of the mob is Frankie 'Hammer' Constantine. Bane is aided by his father's younger brother, who escaped the killings and gives the player advice on how to build an organized crime racket. During the first mission, Bane kills the men who actually murdered his father, only to learn they were pawns in a grander scheme. Bane progresses through the state, building up his power by eliminating gangsters in various communities connected to the killing of his father, as well as forging alliances with gangsters who are also at war with Constantine.
Style[edit]
The game is very heavily a strategy game, utilizing a point and click interface. Each gangster ('hood') the player controls can have four subordinates that will help the character in a firefight. Players can use vehicles to reach targets faster, attempt drive-bys and transport goods. Weapons can be upgraded, including those of your 'hoods'. Business must be bought, sold and taken over from rival gangs, players must set up many types of illegal businesses to make the most money e.g. gambling dens, breweries and brothels.
The player is given objectives to fulfill. They range from setting up illegal businesses, claiming the enemies' business, kidnapping, and murder.
Features[edit]
Players can purchase a number of different automobiles, business specialists and other 'specialists' including hitmen.
There are five different cars for purchase as well as a range of guns: revolver, dual pistols, rifle, shotgun and the tommy gun. Bombs can also be purchased, but only by a gangster with the bomb skill. Skills can be leveled up before starting each mission, by a limited amount, from leveling your hoods combat or stealth skill, to their special abilities, unique to each hood. There is bombing, bank robbing, getaway driving, or kidnapping skills. You can also level up Specialists's business skill, increasing their profits.
End Scenes[edit]
The game was noted for having end scenes for cases of losing. Icons dependent on the game's outcome would then be placed in the high score section dependent on the losing scene, with the exception of a 'Victory' icon should the player win the game.
Reception[edit]
The game achieved mediocre success with critics, with it given a 5.4/10 rating by GameSpot,[1] 53/100 by GameSpy[2] while PC Zone magazine gave it a 5.5/10.[3]

Hey guys I have a burning desire to play Gangsters 2: Vendetta again, unfortunately they only have the first game on GOG. I however do have my old CD and have installed it on my Windows 7 64bit PC. When I go to run the game I get a 'no CD' error message, so I google'd for a way to get it to work, the only suggestion relating to this game is making a .bat file killing explorer before the game runs. unfortunately this doesn't work and I'm still stuck with the no CD error message.
I can assure you the disk is in my drive, and my PC can read it (after all I did install the game with no issues) if anyone is aware of any method I can do to get this game working again I will be very grateful! Cheers Scottie

I have never played Gangsters 2 but that sounds like a common problem for games and yet the solution you found isn't one I've heard. When it happens to me the reason is usually my VP which as soon as I turn off allows everything to work fine.

I used to have this game. I don't any longer. Since GOG has the first one, perhaps eventually they will get this one?

Starting to sound like this won't work for Win7 users =[ Sorry, mate. I believe GOG does their best to get games running, but they do have limited abilities. They focus on games that users can get up and running right away, which is why for Win 95 games that also have DOS versions, they almost always choose to supply the DOS version because DOSBox is so stable. (some people don't like that, of course) Your best bet may be to buy an old Windows 98 machine, if you ever come across one.

I'm a real retrogamer and love to play the old school classic games. Gangsters 2 is one of my favorites. And i had the same 'no disc' Windows 7 problem with this game.
Also i was getting sick and tired of downloading all the many different patches to keep all the games running. Most of them didn't work at all, so i had to get rid of them and search for others that did work. Ã friend of me had the sollution and told me about Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. With this program installed , i installed also my version of Windows 98 SE as a Virtual machine on my computer. Now i can play Gangsters 2 and all my other old games without any problems. Search the internet for the free version of Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and the explanation given will show you the way.

I also have a burning desire to play G2:V , I purchased G1 from here thinking it was like G2:V but was so disappointed when I started playing, well I wouldn't call it playing because it sucks and I couldn't do sh*t! LOL! GOG Admins please get Gangsters 2 Vendetta up for us to buy! :D
Oh I managed to get hold of a game called Chicago 1930 but have to use daemon tools to play it as it's so rare to find a physical copy, look it up as if you like G2:V you'll probably like Chicago 1930. Gangland on here is pretty fun. I ordered Omerta: City of Gangsters too, it's like G2:V but as it's recent it looks bigger and better! Peace out!

I have patch 1.07 and the game is running fine,no problems.
I suggest the OP take a good look at his CD/DVD drivers. Those are often the culprit. Windows is a long long way from being a perfect OS, and I have had my share or problems with it,but a lot of the time it gets blamed for things that are not it's fault.
