Mafia III vs Mob Wars: La Cosa Nostra
Mafia III
Mafia III is the long-awaited second sequel to the popular mafia-themed action-shooter game, Mafia. Set in the 1968 after the Vietnam War, the game casts you into the role of Lincoln Clay, a Vietnam veteran who had his entire surrogate family, the black mob, wiped out by the Italian Mafia. Vowing revenge for your family, you'll need to build a new mafia from the ground up and bring the fight to the Italian mob. It is either you or them and there is no in-between.Similar to the previous, the game has the same brilliant gun fights, hand-to-hand melee combat as well as heart-pounding car chases with cops and rival mobs alike. You can even choose how you approach a mission the way you like due to the open world nature of the virtual city you'll be roaming around in. Of course, being the leader of a mafia, you will also need to make some hard decisions when deciding who to promote and who to let go as "a necessary casualty". One thing for sure, you'll do whatever it takes to avenge your brothers.
Despite some bugs and glitches, Mafia III is still a great sequel that fans of the series will most certainly enjoy. It still retains its deep gritty feel and the plot, although somewhat cliche (see: Saints Row), is good enough to keep the game going.
Mob Wars: La Cosa Nostra
Mob Wars: La Cosa Nostra is definitely the perfect game to play if you are looking for an alternative to your favorite game, Mafia Wars or any other games like it, including Mafia Inc. It is similar in gameplay to Mafia Wars where you'll set off to build your criminal empire from the ground up by doing jobs, earning weapons, armor and vehicles, and recruiting a crew. However, this game has a much more polished interface maybe because this game came out later.It is also slightly more social due to its Elite Mobster feature where you can ask friends to help out just so you can gain some extra stat boosts. The game provides PvP, a guild-like feature called Syndicate, a pretty deep character customization, and plenty of cities for you to extend your criminal reach to. New content are added weekly as well.
Despite being somewhat text-based and old-timey, Mob Wars: La Cosa Nostra is still played by many all over the world and has entertained many more through the years. It's the perfect casual RPG you can play in small bursts throughout the day.
