Check out the new Massively Multiplayer Online game that is played right through Facebook! The Godfather: Five Families is a game based in 1935 ten years before The God Father film took place. New York’s five mafia families are involved in a war between themselves for ultimate control of the city. Your part as a player is to take control of your family and keep your family’s business alive above all else.
So what do you get to do that is so great in The Godfather: Five Families?! First off, players get to recruit and organize their own crew of deadly gang members. While doing so, you get to build your own city brick by brick with buildings such as Hideouts, Restaurants and Apartments. Making money is the name of the game for this allows you to build faster as well as make your crew more powerful with upgraded weapons, skills and equipment.
The gameplay of The Godfather: Five Families is fairly deep, but everything within the game is pretty straightforward. Your right-hand man will keep you informed on everything you will need to know to make it in the family business. You can finish missions in whatever order you choose but for the most part you will spend your time building structures, upgrading buildings an ultimately finding ways to better the family business. However, you will get plenty of opportunities to clash with other hoodlums on the streets of the city you are trying to control.
This game is truly a great mix between games like Civilization and Gang Wars and let me tell you from experience, it is also addictive. Unlocking new weapons and structures to use throughout the game are two great things to strive for while playing The Godfather: Five Famliies.You will love this game and what is so great about it is it is played directly through Facebook. Most everyone owns a Facebook right? To find out all about this games features and capabilities check out the main site.
While similar to many real time strategy games, I liked the 1930′s mobster theme and decided to give this one a tryout. I have played similar titles like Evony and Empire Craft. Simple to learn, these games are long term commitments. it takes about a week to get resource production and later troop production rolling steady. This is the point where Godfather: Five Families breaks down. The combat mechanics have serious flaws, and there is little challenge or risk to player vs. player combat. most players simply hide their troops, providing no targets.
Frankly, if you like this type of game, there are better versions available.
