Gameplay
Mafia Wars is set in New York City and Little Italy, with the option for players to travel between New York and Cuba once they reach level 35 and Moscow once they reach level 70. The game revolves around doing jobs in order to earn cash, and eventually establishing and advancing one's criminal empire. Players create mafias by recruiting players and using reward points to hire extra mafia members. Social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Friendster allow players to recruit from within their friends network to build their mafia and fight against other players. Players can also improve their stats by visiting the Godfather or making a micropayment.
Gameplay revolves around timers: players have limited energy (for doing jobs), health and stamina meters (for fighting other players), in a similar manner to an RPG game, which slowly recharges over time. By using other mafia members whom that they have recruited, players can eventually fight other mafias, which usually results in the theft of cash. The game operates on a level up basis. The player earns experience points by completing jobs. Players who manage to complete special tasks (e.g., winning fights against bigger mafias or winning fifteen fights in a row) win achievements. As they level up, more jobs and features become available, such as robbing other mafias and visiting Cuba to expand their criminal empire.
Since September 24, 2009 there is a new city, "Moscow". Once a player reaches level 70 they have access to Moscow and they get to choose between the Thieves in Law Vory or the Russian Mafiya . Two upcoming regions are Western United States coming out 2010 and Bangkok coming out Holiday 2009, where the player will get to choose from Triad and Yakuza.
The Developer
Mafia Wars' parent company, Zynga, has worked to adapt multiple changes within the game, introducing various "beta" features into the game, such as robbing (wherein players can rob each others' property). These features are often removed without warning, and newer players have reported that the property and task interface is substantially different between that of newer players and those who have been playing for a time.
Lawsuits issue
The makers of a similar online game, Mob Wars, sued Zynga over their launch of Mafia Wars, accusing Zynga of copyright infringement. Zynga made some changes to Mafia Wars so it wouldn't resemble Mob Wars as closely, but Mob Wars creator David Maestri" moved forward with his lawsuit. In September 2009, Maestri and Zynga settled the case for about $7–$9 million, less than the $10 million Maestri had originally demanded.
