Mafia Wars, a new MMORPG game on Facebook I

Tweet

Mafia Wars, this game involves creating a Mafia, from your friends on Facebook, and you playing an intricate role in its development. Its major strengths are the game play and the multiplayer co-op. This game suffers in terms of graphics, it is a text based game, with few pictures compared to other games in its field. It also lacks a strong story line, another aspect present in many of its competing games. This review will take a look at the game from three aspects, Gameplay, Graphics, and then Multiplayer Co-Operation.

Mafia Wars is a simple text based number crunch game, that puts you in a Mafia with all of your friends (who play Mafia Wars, and add you to their Mafia). A player starts out by doing jobs, with energy, for cash and moves up to buying properties for sustained income. The player then uses this income to buy bigger and better weapons from the inventory screen, which then can give them the upper hand in multiplayer fights.

As the player does more jobs, they earn experience that allows them to go up levels. As a player goes up in levels, they gain more profile points which allows them to become stronger, and to better fight rival Mafia groups. What sets this game apart from the crowd, is in its multiplayer co-operation, and a few gameplay aspects.
