* TakeCover: Cover points are present during combat. However, multiple reviews complained about their sparsity and illogical placement, to the point edge of a wall will fail to provide cover, whereas a nearby pillar will. Often, some of your thugs will be forced to stand out in the open, regardless.

Added DiffLines:

* CutAndPasteEnvironments: There's only a limited number of maps used for the combat environments, and unless you use auto-resolve a lot, they'll be frequently repeated.


Added DiffLines:

* DirtyCop: The police can be consistently bribed to leave you alone.


Added DiffLines:

* MoraleMechanic: It is represented by the "Courage" bar, which will send a character fleeing when it is drained. Its size is determined by that character's "guts" stat.
* MultipleChoicePast: The character creation process consists of a series of questions about your character and his past, such as the reason he left Italy for America. Your answers will then determine character's starting stats, as well as his preferred weapon type.
* ObviousBeta: The release version of the game was known for crashes and corrupted saves.
* PointBuildSystem: Each character has stats like muscle, cunning, guts, etc. While you don't directly control their distribution when creating your character (see MultipleChoicePast), you'll get to make these decisions when levelling up. Notably, all of the stats are combat-related, and will have no effect on the economic management part, even though it defines the majority of the game.

However, multiple reviews complained about their sparsity and illogical placement, to the point edge of a wall will fail to provide cover, whereas a nearby pillar will. Often, some of your thugs will be forced to stand out in the open, regardless.
* TraversibleWorldMap: Both the main character, and his underlings, will need to walk on the map of the Atlantic City from their current location to the property you want to acquire and/or the place of a shoot-out. It's always done on foot, causing ''Metro'' reviewer to snark that any rich gangster with a car would have run you out of business in days.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: You can gain better publicity amongst the populace through a range of charity acts. Interestingly, underground fight clubs will also increase your popularity, reflecting the views of the time.
