Developers fixed crashing problem! Ignore my prior report about crashing problems. I upgraded the star rating from 2 to 4.Quick summary: this game is fantastic!This game has almost all the gameplay of Mafia Wars with several SIGNIFICANT improvements:1) A leaderboard!! (To improve: add "Level" ranking and mimic leaderboard numbering in "Kingdoms at War" app)2) Direct chat to other players! This adds a realistic and "live" aspect to the game missing from Mafia Wars. 3) Knowledge of how many times someone attacked you. (To improve: add push notification and/or vibrate to news tab so player knows when they are being attacked, or receiving other incoming messages)4) Knowledge of extra attack/defense of opponents (To improve: important stats missing from player profiles such as number of mafia members, cashflow, bank total, and attack/defense totals due to weapons, armor, and vehicles)Additional gameplay of uncertain value:1) "Kill". No description of this in game instructions, and so far no idea when this function gets activated (some point after level 14 i guess).2) "Land wars": Buying and reselling of land, kinda like the stock market (buy low, sell high). I have not seen the value of this early in the game for me, perhaps value will be more evident further into the game and with more players.*Maybe i will update this review after getting a better understanding of these two aspects later. Warning: misleading statement in the description: claims that you can play games to get reward points rather than pay for reward points, BUT, 2 out of the 3 game apps that give reward points cost money. So that statement is misleading. It is an indirect cost rather than a direct cost. 1 game app is free and gives an average of 1 reward point per 24 hours, 2nd game app is 0.99 and gives about 4 reward points per 24 hours, and the 3rd game app costs 9.99 and gives about 10 reward points per 24 hours. Overall though, this is a reasonable cost to acquire additional reward points AND more importantly, provide revenue to the developers for creating a marked improvement to the Mafia Wars style game. Bottom line: If you like Mafia Wars, you will LOVE Ultimate Mafia! I guarantee that.

Great game minus all the hackers. Take that away and you have the best game on the App Store. Just many crashing problems. Please fix this James.

Was a great game until I spent 5$ on it for reward points. As of now it took my money an will not launch the game. I tried re installing it an that did not work so avoid downloading.
