''Mafia Wars'' is a multiplayer Social network game created by Zynga. In ''Mafia Wars'' the players play as gangsters building their own mafia. The players fight other players online, "rob" other players, and complete jobs, missions, and operations to gain rewards and strength in the endless game. The game is a freemium game, meaning it is free to play normally but players have the option of purchasing premium content and access to customer service. ''Mafia Wars'' was the 2009 Webby Award People's Voice Winner in the Games category.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Webby Nominees )〕 A sequel, ''Mafia Wars 2'', was released in October 2011,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gamesreviews2010.com/mafia-wars-2-released-play-now-on-facebook/ )〕 and was shut down on December 30, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/ingame/unhappy-new-year-zynga-shuts-down-petville-mafia-wars-2-1C7785090 )〕 ==Platforms and Gameplay== ''Mafia Wars'' is available on Facebook and was previously available as an iPhone App and as a Google Chrome app. On Facebook, as of August 2010, ''Mafia Wars'' had up to 45.5 million monthly accounts created.〔(Mafia Wars on Facebook.com )〕 As of April, 2013, Appdata.com reports approximately 100,000 daily users out of 500,000 monthly users. As of November 18, 2014, MetricsMonk reported that the game had 450,000 monthly active users. ''Mafia Wars'' is set with a choice of playing in New York City or Chicago with the option for players to travel to other locations, such as London, South Africa, and Mexico. Other locations were formerly available. The game revolves around fighting and robbing other players and doing Jobs, Missions, and Operations to earn cash, building parts, weapons, attack and defense fighting skills, and experience, with the goal of establishing and advancing one's criminal empire. Players create mafias by recruiting other players or winning or buying artificial members (Hired Guns). Other players can be added to one's mafia through Facebook. Gameplay is limited by 3 meters. Players have limited Energy (for doing jobs), and limited Stamina and Health (for fighting or robbing other players),.〔(The Leaf Chronicle: Facebook's 'Farmville' not a laughing matter )〕 The first two meters slowly recharge over time or fill in one step when Experience progress in Jobs causes the player to Level Up. Fighting other players may or may not result in the theft of cash, "Icing", or "Killing" of the player attacked, or random gifts of Loot (weapons), building parts, or consumable job supplies. Outcomes of an attack or attempt to rob are calculated by a secret formula that takes into account the respective player's fighting skill, the number and quality of 5 kinds of weapons (Weapons, Armory, Vehicles, Animals and Henchmen), and a randomizing factor. When a player wins an attack, he does damage to the loser's Health and suffers a loss of Health himself (usually less than the loss of health by the loser of the attack). In May 2014, Mexico became the newest permanent location (City). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mafia Wars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
