Blackhand action is the signature gameplay style that defined the first Godfather game from Electronic Arts. Dealing with rivals and thugs became much more personal with torture and targeted physical scare and kill tactics.
Blackhand controls will be featured prominently in The Godfather II, currently in development at EA. All the holds and punches from the first game have been amplified to include kicking in the groin, slamming to the ground, and my personal favorite, tossing a hapless thug off a roof.
Below you’ll find a new Blackhand “Brutality” trailer that glorifies many of these new moves found in The Godfather II. Don’t try any of these at home, kids.
Godfather II is on track to arrive in stores sometime in 2009 on, at the very least, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii.
