Imobsters Review
Imobsters
Price: Free
Imobsters is the classic Money/Health/Energy game which are seen on sites such as Facebook and now on the iTunes Store. I have played many of these MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) games and this seemed to interest me the most. The layout is easy to get used to and you can become good at the game in a matter of hours of playing time. Once you get good at the game, you can use strategies to overwhelm your unknown Mobster opponents and earn millions of Dollars from completing jobs/missions that become more available to you as you progress through the levels. I got used to the game in a matter of minutes and was soon rolling in money as fast as planes fly. The game is free from the iTunes Store but you can buy 'Points' with real money to gain an advantage over everyone else playing iMobsters. This is what lets down the game, having money to splash out wherever you like may be fun and entertaining for some people, who can gain a massive advantage over their opponents, while others might not want to spend ridiculous amounts of money on a game for an iPhone/iPod Touch.
Another letdown for this game is knowledge. I can play the game and spend millions, sometimes billions of Dollars on weapons, income, etc. and still get demolished by other Mobsters. This leaves me oblivious as to what I can do to become much stronger. Even upgrading Attack and Defense still left me vulnerable to even Mobsters with a lower level than me! Every now and again I attack the people who have the lowest level on my list and I still lose a considerable amount of money and health. This is where your fellow Mobsters come into play to help you you though, as every single Mobster has a unique 6-digit code that anyone can enter to become friends with them and add them to their Mobster army. Having more Mobsters, obviously, boosts your chances of winning battles and being able to complete a wider variety of missions. This is yet another let down for the game, however. Not everyone has 100's of friends who have an iPod Touch/iPhone and the iMobsters game on it. This can leave you even more vulnerable to attack as other Mobsters can see how many Mobsters are in your army, and if they see that your Mobster army is small, they are more likely, if not certain, to attack you.
You can buy Mobsters called 'Hired Guns' from the 'Godfather', however. This may seem like an excellent solution until you realise you have to buy them with points, which are only gained by spending real money. So once again you are stuck in a loop.
My advice is to only download and play this game often either if you are willing to spend a considerable amount of money on this application, or if you have a decent amount of friends/acquaintances who have the game so you can add them to your Mobster army, which is the key factor in winning battles.
I rate this game, 7/10 as it is enjoyable for most people but fustrating for others.
