empire, The Godfather II introduces ôThe DonÆs Viewö û an innovative
strategy meta-game that allows players to oversee the entire world as they
grow the family business. Using the DonÆs View, players will be able to
build, defend and expand their crime rings, while keeping an eye on the
movements and plans of the rival families. Players will also learn to master
the business of organized crime by building a family of Made Men, hiring
crew, handing out orders, and promoting their best men up the ranks.

Plot
The game begins on December 31, 1958 in Havana, Cuba, 4 years after the character of the preceding game, Aldo Trapani, is made Don of New York City. Dominic, an underboss in the Corleone family and the main protagonist of the game, is introduced, and the player is then allowed to customize Dominic's physical appearance according to his/her preferences. Michael Corleone, successor to the Corleone empire, is in Havana for a business meeting with Hyman Roth and two other Dons, Rico Granados and Samuele Mangano. Owing to the inconvenient moment at which the Cuban Revolution reaches the political center of Havana, any attempts to expand the family venture into Cuba are currently made impossible. As rioting breaks out in the streets, the player is now given control of Dominic, who is ordered to escort Aldo, Michael and Fredo to the airport. Upon arriving at the airport, however, a sniper aligned with the revolutionaries ambushes the party and kills Aldo. Upon Aldo's demise, Dominic is given a promotion to the now-vacant title of Don of New York City.
Six weeks after this incident, two of the Corleone's caporegimes, Tony and Carmine Rosato, reneges on their former side to begin building their own organized crime family. Dominic is then tasked with recruiting underling soldiers and re-acquiring Carmine's newly-owned profit rackets. After Dominic has managed to retake a number of Carmine's rackets, Carmine offers to hold a meeting with Dominic to negotiate for peace. He requests for Dominic and a Corleone underboss named Frank Pentangali to present themselves at the meeting venue, a barjoint known as Richie's Tavern. The meeting, however, turns out to be a trap; Dominic manages to escape but Pentangali is apparently killed. While trying to strangle Pentangali, one of Carmine's underlings taunts him: "Michael Corleone says hello." The Corleone camp suspects that Carmine was simply covering himself in case the hit failed. After retaking Carmine's rackets, Dominic defeats Carmine at his compund.
After the battle, Hyman Roth then calls Dominic and requests him to come to Florida and talk about business. Arriving at Miami, Dominic is greeted and aided by Fredo, who has already been discussing business with Roth. In the meeting at Roth's apartment, Roth explains that an associate, Steven, was kidnapped and that he needs Dominic to free him. Following the rescue, Dominic establishes himself in Miami and takes some businesses over from Tony Rosato, who seeks revenge for Carmine's death, and Rico Granados. Don Mangano, who previously seemed neutral in the conflict, offers an alliance with the Corleones. One day, Fredo calls Dominic to have a drink at Dominic's place, but they are suddenly ambushed. Both Fredo and Dominic survive the machinegun-fire into the house, thanks to Dominic's quick action. Fredo suspects the Mangano family to be the guilty party, and Dominic takes over a business from the Mangano family. Furious, the Manganos in turn starts taking over some businesses from the Corleones. Roth introduces Dominic to CIA agent Henry Mitchell, who is plotting to assassinate Castro. Dominic is sent to Havana, while Roth tries to patch things up with the Manganos. Dominic tries to kill Castro with a sniper rifle, but only succeeds in killing a decoy, as Don Almeida had prior knowledge of the assassination attempt and alerted the authorities. It is suggested that Roth is working with Almeida, and set Dominic up.
When Dominic returns to account his failures to Michael, they learn that Frank Pentangeli is alive, ready to testify against the Corleones at a Senate Investigation into organized crime. Dominic rescues Frank's brother, Vincenzo, from kidnappers, and Vincenzo convinces Frank to recant his testimony. But the family has other problems; Mitchell has gone rogue, and Fredo has unwittingly betrayed Michael, due to Roth's manipulation. With the Senate Hearing out of the way, Michael decides that his enemies need to be eliminated. After killing Mitchell and the other Dons, Dominic is ordered to go to Miami International Airport to assassinate Roth. After a tense shootout with the airport security and the police, Dominic executes Roth and flees the airport. Michael congratulates Dominic on a job well done, and tells him his future in the family is secure. The game ends with a scene where Fredo and another man, seen only in shadow, are fishing on Lake Tahoe, and Fredo is saying a Hail Mary to help him catch a fish. Fredo is killed by the other man, and Dominic's voice can be heard saying "Sorry Fredo."
