[edit] Story
The player plays as Mario Mangano, one of 5 brothers - the others are Romano, Angelo, Sonny and Chico Mangano (the eldest brother). Romano, Angelo, Sonny and Chico are capiregimi of the Mangano crime family based in Palermo. When their father, the Don of the borgata, dies, a power struggle hits the family, which ends with Chico getting nominated new boss. After Chico's promotion, he is murdered by his brothers, Romano, Angelo and Sonny, they then flip away from Italy to the new world. The police begin a manhunt for the 3 brothers, but it fails - they are nowhere to be found. 2 years later, Vincenzo Mangano, Mario's uncle (who has been in America for decades), calls Mario's grandfather, and says to him that the 3 brothers are in his city, Paradise City.
The player is sent to Paradise City by their grandfather to work under Vincenzo, until you are powerful enough to hunt down and kill the 3 murderous brothers. That is where the single player campaign begins.
