'Don control' in Godfather II introduces RTS-style gameplay you can't refuse

Our friends at GameTrailers.com have a new trailer for The Godfather II that showcases an interesting feature coming to the EA franchise: Don Control. The multiplayer feature offers what looks to be an RTS-style control system where one person hosting an online match can place bets on the match (that will in turn carry over into the single-player campaign), issue commands to their human teammates (should they cooperate, that is) and follow individuals of their choosing from a third-person perspective.

Rather than phoning in the de rigeur multiplayer, it seems as though EA has taken the extra time afforded them by the game being pushed back to beef up a very different experience than what the single-player campaign offers. To see exactly what we're talking about, hit the break to check out the trailer.
