Apologies for the late edition, folks, but I’m slowly catching up and here once again with a scrappy, crappy game for your perusal (or rather, dismissal.) Coming hot on the heels of its predecessor, Mobster Roulette 2 is that most idiosyncratic of things, a strategy game with no strategy – or fun, for that matter.

It seems you lost $30,000 in a crooked card game and now you’ve got 24 hours (well, 2400 seconds) to pay it back to the gangsters you borrowed it from. Sounds like hard work, doesn’t it? Well, it is, made all the harder by the minimal methods by which you can raise the cash. Mobster Roulette 2 is composed of several mini-games, none of which have had a lot of thought or effort put into them.

The simplest way to guarantee some money is by smuggling weapons across the border, which pays a cool $1,000. The game itself is simple enough: drive your car down a perfectly straight piece of highway, avoiding road signs and oil slicks as well as the cops, and reach the border before time runs out or the vehicle suffers too much damage. As far as driving games go, it’s not the worst but I’ve seen far better, and winning isn’t all that difficult. You could easily raise $30,000 just by doing this over and over again, but that would get as monotonous as it sounds, so let’s see how else we could make some dough.

Ah yes, gambling – because that’s worked so well for us so far. Again, there’s nothing mind-blowing about these games. The blackjack game is straightforward and technically fine. It’s a perfectly acceptable and adequate mini-game. But I could play far more interesting versions of blackjack online and not have to worry about some time limit coming down on me. Mobster Slots has the same issue – it isn’t a bad game, just not a great one either. To be honest I’ve never seen the appeal of slot machine games online, unless you’re working for some kind of reward, so there wasn’t much motivation to keep on playing.

But play on I did, as you’ll see on Page 2.
