Driving mechanics allow players to traverse city streets with a variety of vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and boats.

Throughout the game, players must build their criminal empire by taking control of various rackets, businesses, and territories belonging to rival factions. By hiring lieutenants to manage different areas and activities, players can expand their influence, increase their income, and weaken the Italian mob's grip on New Bordeaux.

The game captures the essence of the late 1960s with its immersive atmosphere and authentic soundtrack, featuring a variety of music from the era, including rock, soul and rhythm and blues. The soundtrack helps set the mood and tone of the game, enhancing the player's experience as they explore New Bordeaux and become involved in the criminal underworld.
