Michael Corleone asked the character of the gamer to take over the family after Aldo Trapani’s death. Aldo Trapani was the protagonist in the first game. In the sequel, the player controls Dominic. He is more cold, violent, and arrogant when compared to Aldo. Aldo, on the other hand, had moral dilemmas when killing the main characters in the first game. The gamer has to lead the family and defeat the other families in order to take over the businesses and become the number one mobster all over America. (more…)
