Mafia Wars Moscow: Exclusive First Look!

Source: Games.com



Mafia Wars: Moscow, the second expansion to the mob-themed Facebook game Mafia Wars, lets players expand their criminal empire into brand new territory. Mafia Wars publisher Zynga gave us an exclusive sneak peek at the new expansion, set to hit a browser near you September 24.

The expansion's basic game mechanics will remain unchanged. Score cash and experience points by taking on missions and fighting rival mafias; use the cash to buy weapons, power-ups and properties; and use the experience points to level up your mobster's energy levels or fighting skills as you see fit.

The biggest difference in this expansion? Mafia Wars Senior Product Manager David Kahn says it will have, "a new look and feel," and, "will be much harder than other expansions we released before, more geared to higher level players, level 70-plus."



As soon as you arrive in Moscow, you're forced to choose sides. Will you help the the Vory v Zakone, a group of old-school Russian mobsters, or the Mafiya, former KGB and military officers who have learned that organized crime pays far more rubles than a government job? The loot items for the missions will be different depending on which faction you go with, so choose wisely.

Also unlike the other Mafia Wars scenarios, missions will be broken down into chapters, and you will not be able to see the next set of missions until you complete a chapter and defeat the boss at the end. Players will also have to rely on friends more than before to defeat these high-powered crime lords.

As for achievements, Moscow will have six new achievements, five new businesses, six new collections and 50-plus Russian-themed weapons, armor and vehicles. Some of those specialty items will include an AK-47 type gun, specialty night-vision goggles, and of course, classic Russian nesting dolls.



Of course, we had to ask, "Why Moscow?" Kahn says in addition to Moscow's mobbed up history, they chose the city because that's what the fans wanted (via an online voting campaign).

The fans also picked the location for the next two Mafia Wars expansions -- Asia and the Western US -- but details are scarce since Zynga developers are busy asking players what features they want to see next. Now that's what we call social gaming.

Mafia Wars Moscow launches Thursday, September 24. As they say in Russia, Увидем Вас там! (we'll see you there).

Mafia Wars: Moscow - It's Live! Check Out Details from Episode 1: Baklany and Episode 2: Boets

Source: Games.com

The newest expansion to the popular Facebook social game, Mafia Wars, went live at just after midnight PST this morning. Moscow introduces a whole new set of missions, items and businesses to take over. We covered the main changes in our exclusive Mafia Wars preview earlier this week, but here's a rundown of the things you'll run into during your first few days with the expansion. Reminder: you'll need to be at level 70 or higher in order to travel to Moscow and access these missions.



Episode 1: Baklany
- The first chapter of Moscow kicks off with three different missions: Smuggle Consumer Electronics for the Vory, Arrange A Drug Shipment for the Mafiya, Fight Off An Ultra-National Gang.
- Each mission will run you at least 30-40 energy points each (depending on your Top Mafia and other upgrades you may have), so be prepared to either spend some money buying energy refills or wait a long time to regenerate in order to master the stages.



Business Time
- Moscow starts you with one business, an Unlicensed Taxi Stand. Don't be fooled by its high selling numbers -- that money is all in Russian Ruble (and according to current conversion rates, one Ruble is equal to roughly 0.03 Dollars). Life's tough.
- Two other businesses are visible but not available: Cigarette Smuggling Ring and Black-Market Car Lot, which you can purchase after Episode 1, Chapter 3 and Episode 2, Chapter 3, respectively.


Weapons and Defense

- Many missions will utilize guns and vehicles you've previously owned in Cuba and New York.
- Three weapons are available immediately: Dubina, Pistolet Besshumnyj, Boevoy Nozh.
- Two types of armor : Tracksuit, Balaclava (tracksuit... really?)
- And three vehicles: Mototsykl, Taksi, Dvina



The Loot
- The collection tied to the Baklany episode is called Prison Tattoos.
- The following 'items' are in the collection: Rose Tattoo, Church Tattoo, Star Tattoo, Spider Tattoo, Tiger Tattoo, Skull Tattoo, Crucifix Tattoo.
- A second collection is visible, and contains items that can be earned in the second episode.
- The Matryoshka Doll Collection includes: Natalya's Doll, Olga's Doll, Oksana's Doll, Svetlana's Doll, Tatyana's Doll, Anastasiya's Doll, Ekaterina's Doll.

Other Changes:
- You'll note that each episode now has unique header art. We've seen this in other Facebook games, notably Yakuza Lords, but never before in Mafia Wars (save for the boss battles back in New York).
- The second episode is called Boets (as revealed on the Collections page). The header art is below.
