Mafia Wars was launched by Zynga Games in October of 2009 causing nearly 26 million players to log in, whack an enemy, steal the Mona Lisa, fix the World Cup, and build some of the nastiest intruments of death in their chop shops and weapons depot. Based along the idea that each individual player builds a mob family with the strength to take down other, players work toward individual goals with the collective firepower and sharing of their friends to make it all possible. Like most Zynga games, Mafia Wars is socially based with those who can persuade the most people to play having the best odds od reaching the greatest heights.
Mafia Wars evolved from a single scenario in New York to include Bangkok, Cuba, Russia, and las Vegas is on the way. During major holidays and special events, short term challenges are often created which offer gamers the opportunity to complete missions for seriously amped up firepower. While no scene has yet to be announced to follow Las Vegas, the rumor is there may be one revolving around the Middle East in the works.
