THE CONTRACT HAS BEEN ISSUED; IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE HIT EIDOS INTERACTIVE'S GANGSTERS 2 SHIPPING TODAY

 

San Francisco, CA. (June 5, 2001) - Eidos Interactive, (NASDAQ: EIDSY), a leading worldwide interactive entertainment publisher, today announced that Gangsters 2 is now shipping for the PC. Gangsters 2 is the sequel to the hugely successful Gangsters: Organized Crime and is a top-seller in the UK, US and Germany.

 

Gangsters 2 is a real-time strategy game set in Prohibition America and puts you at the head of a crime family. As an aspiring Mob Boss you must deal in extortion, illegal liquor, prostitution, violence, intimidation, gambling, gang warfare, bribery of officials, permanent elimination of individuals and a host of money-making activities to ensure success over the other crime families in the city.

 

"After the success of the original Gangsters and the amount of tremendous customer feedback received, we immediately began design work on its sequel. Gangsters is both innovative and original and has quickly become a major franchise title and one we will be supporting for quite some time to come." stated Project Manager, Peter Moreland of Hothouse.

 

Gangsters 2 brings to life the organized crime world of Prohibition America, a time when violence and greed ruled in the pursuit to become the boss of bosses. Use your skills and cunning to build a team of mobsters including specialists such as Card-Sharps, Hit-Men, Arsonists, and Safe-Crackers in the attempt to dominate the cities in the state of New Temperance. Incorporating a completely new real-time engine, multiple cities and the helpful advisor, Gangsters 2 promises to bring a whole new world of crime and disorder to the PC.
