  • Gangland Trouble in Paradise, a 2004 PC strategy game that I somehow came to own. Paradise is a city where mafia's come from the world over, sharing techniques and combat styles to develop the ultimate made man. Mario Mangano doesn't pick up on this actually kinda interesting aspect of the city that I just made up and is instead here for a revenge plot.
    I experimented with a new audio set up and only after doing all the audio figured out better settings, you can tell what is re-recorded cause it sounds way better.

    Y'know, that last panel really sums up this game best. Mario doesn't even stop to celebrate his victory or mourn his family's many deaths, as he already hears gunshots of probably 12 more families that have already re-spawned and he has to go to shoot down.
    Honestly I feel sorry for the guy, with the big reveal in Escape from Paradise City that he is in fact fighting immortal vampires, it means he is trapped in an endless cycle of combat of which he may never be able to escape, if he is a vampire himself and thus immortal.

      Considering Mario never aged a day even after all three of his kids turned into fully grown adults, I think he might have secretly been a lich like El Lobo.
      Hey! Now I get how El Lobo was showing up again and again. He just kept reloading the save until he got beaten enough times to rage quit.

    I swear every game based around crime is absolutely mental. In this game you wage 150 years war for a stupid revenge plot which also has you kill at least 50 additional mafia families in the endless cycle of violence which even the game ends on as you run into the distance for another fire fight to inevitably kill more families. The reason nobody drives is because there is nobody but the hundreds of mafias living there. You are the only man who knows how to drive on account of not being born inside of mafia town. Probably the only reason the invisible walls change from level to level is that the piles of smoldering rubble and dead bodies gets cleaned out. The us government has declared the area uninhabitable and won’t consider sending in troops because of the large amounts of citizens with rocket launchers. That’s probably more story than this game could even think of as it just tells you to kill more mafias and families. Just thinking about the implications of a city run off crime where small Chinese children can be tipped 50,000 dollars (presumably to start another mafia) is more interesting than playing the game.

    I actually did find a way to turtle up and build up in Conquest 8. You know, the one in the docks where there are 5 other families besides you. It was thanks to a little exploit I discovered, the AI ignores any shops you're extorting. They only care about the ones you actually own, and because they don't even try to claim resources for themselves, there's no risk of them buying those stores from under you. So just keep Mario and all your troops parked in the safe house to make sure they don't rush it (occasionally making runs out to the Bistro to recruit units), wait until you've amassed a sizable force and then go at it. Once you kill the first two families, the rushes get a lot more manageable and you can actually start buying stores and defending them. It takes forever, and I still had to take out the Orange family right away with my initial force, but it is doable.

    Really adored all those ways you could manage your empire, like having a fat son going to the restaurant and simultaneously taking over rum distillery, so you would have x4 money from the restaurant and money would be flowing in like you're jeff bezos. Or hiring only ninjas and superbouncers and fucking up anyone who would simply approach. I'm genuinely upset the game wasn't developed further.

I've got stuck at the gathering 1mln mission in the late game. I've repeated that mission countless times, almost dropped the game but I've kept trying doing previous missions for new units and trying new strategies and still couldn't get close to that amount. Last time I've decided to face the defeat screen and patiently waited for the timer to run out.
    After so meny resets, the fact that I was supposed to lose that objective pissed me off to the point of dropping the game and never trying it again.

    "This video will spoil the game"
    Isn't that fairly normal for your reviews at this point? You write amazing essays but by no account would I recommend your videos as reviews, they tend to be bad at explaining the intended audience and giving a recommendation before summarizing the entire plot.
    I'm not complaining, Snakerer, I love your videos, but you're just being silly this far in.

    I had this back in the day too! Or well, my brother had it, which meant I had it, haha. It was made by a Danish crew though so maybe it was bigger here (Denmark) :)

    It sounds like this game tried to be a normal RTS, where everyone starts at 0 and has to work from there...but it makes little sense for a game like this as a mob boss. They took base building RTS like starcraft but made it worse and make no sense in the context of the game.

    I remember getting the game on at least two CDs packed in with PC magazines. One in Germany, one in Poland. It also got a decent amount of exposure in PC magazines in general. Is that possibly the reason why it's on gog?

    If you happen to ever read these comments on old vids, a great follow up would be the equally obscure Mob Rule.. and/or The Sting. Both are non-traditional strategy games with a crime theme. Both I somehow played as an 8 year old..

    @14:10 Did you add that music in? Or was that the game. I swear that is from that old animal planet show, the most extreme.

    Redownloaded this game as I played it a ton as a kid, but damn I forgot how bad the camera controls are. Totally unplayable for me.

      who cares about decades of life when you can hold a world record in completing a game noone has ever heard about faster than anyone else in the world (tho perhaps you already do since your the only one who ever completed the whole game)

    • @TheGoldenKing20

      Considering how the recruitment system in this game works, I don't think it's technically even possible to speedrun it. It's all luck of the draw, really.

    I love this Game. The only thing that bugs me is the saving function that does not exist in skirmish games :/
    also, cheat thegreatvassilizaitsev :D nothing is more secure than your Street being covered by 50 Snipers :D
