Mafia Wars by Zynga – Wa hoo! Finally, oh wait
When I heard this was out, I couldn’t download it fast enough. I have been waiting and waiting for this, and finally Zynga brought their popular Mafia Wars game to the iPhone. This was going to be great, I could now take my Facebook Mafia Wars account with me, just like my Hold’Em account. Wa hoo!
Then BOOM, shortly after I installed the game and started it up, reality starting sinking in. I checked everywhere, over and over. My dreams, were shot down. It doesn’t link with the Facebook version! Zynga how could you do this to me?? QQ
So can I get over this? This Facebook Connectedness betrayal? It’s a crowded space here in Mafia world. iMob, Mafia Live, iMafia, etc, etc. Throw in Undead Live, iVampires, Girl Wars, Ninja Wars, etc, etc, and there are now a flood of these type games. I can be honest. I was about to throw this app away. At one point I was playing 6 of these type games at the same time (for research for TapCritic of course) and I didn’t want to get hooked on another one. BUT, Zynga got me. Right from the start, even the intro, is great.
So what makes Mafia Wars stand out in this flooded app zone? A lot. I will start with the interface. Zynga has polished the look and feel of the game. It is well designed. No awkward scrolling. Everything has been placed on screen for quick access and legibility. The little bits of animated graphics add to the fun of the game.
Mafia Wars also makes good use of audio. Almost everything you do in the game has a sound effect or voice over. Pretty cool and new for this genre of game. I will be honest, I had to turn off the sound. Not because I wanted too, but as a quick pick me up and play game, it started scaring folks in the stall next to me.
So now the most important part: gameplay. So far, so good. It seems a little out of balance when it comes to fighting other people. Big cash gains from questing, but very little from fighting fellow mobsters. I also haven’t completely figured out how the attack / defense numbers are working just yet. Here’s a shocker too–there is no bank. In most of these type games, there is a banking system to hide away your cash so the other mobs can’t take it.
Overall good stuff. I would suggest you give this one a shot.
You can get Mafia Wars for free HERE.
Oh yeah, feel free to add me to your mob – 3001 7260 37

I’m using iPhone 16Gb, and i drive a lot, so i bought G-map series in app store.
This application basically GPS Navigation app and provide real time guidance. It is 24.99 $ and free to upgrade every version.They almost provides TBT and beep sound when you are using G-map. Also i think best thing of G-map is 3D view. They provide 3D view in intersection and highway. I think they need to add voice guidance and texts. This is pretty good app. Good work!!

Anyone happen to know how I can remove the app of Mafia Wars and re-install? My son downloaded the app and placed his info in the app so it does not recognize me. I am not able to get the limited edition item. Please help…:(

@Brat you have to uninstall it for 60 days then the account resets.
Straight from Zynga. Not the best solution.

Mafia Wars is huge , it is been played by about 4 million of people everyday.
I love to play Mafia Wars too and currently and actively recruiting my mafia family.
This game is very addictive however you need a guide to help you advance to higher level.
Recently I found an ebook that help me to advance in the game and it is full of priceless and brilliant tips for mafia wars players.
