Zynga let me to try out the Beta preview of Mafia Wars Bangkok in Facebook platform and of which the gameplay is similar, other than that alot of the jobs require you to PAY BAHT (not Bhat U silly coders) to do some stuff.
But of which, I really need to point to them that the value of THAI BAHT is so small, and you expect to bribe a Thai Prison warden with B$500 to smuggle something? Come on, a liter of PETROL (GASOLINE) cost about right now B$40 (which 1 Baht / Koks as the southern locals have it is worth RM1 = US$0.25!) per liter and so, what on earth are they doing? Don’t they do some sort of research in the currency?? How much things are worth? 500 bath can’t even fill my gas tank up…let alone pay a bribe. Heck, my insurance premium to enter Thailand is 290B a day!
Graphics wise, sucks. They really wanna us to think that the Thais are all such a much of a gangster world with rival factions of Yakuza and Triads? THAT IS CHINA FOR HEAVEN SAKE. Here they fight between the Muslim South and the Buddhist North! Thais are of peace..and I believe they really need to get their heads in. If they are talking about Vietnam or Laos, I MAY BELIEVE, but yakuza? Please.. they have nothing to do in Thailand.
Please, the graphics depicting the people and acts need better artwork. Look and read the news and papers and what people photograph on the web. Thais are more Malay like, tanned and dark, not yellow like they have Jaundice or something.
I give the game play so far…a thumbs down!!
