Zynga brings colourful Mafia Wars Shakedown social game to the iPhone

FarmVille developer Zynga has expanded its Mafia Wars franchise by releasing a free social game for Apple's iPhone.

Entitled Mafia Wars Shakedown, this colourful gangster-crammed app tasks you with a range of morally dubious activities, such as stealing from other players, defeating powerful bosses, and securing scores of valuable items.

Naturally, you'll have access to a varied selection of weapons, vehicles, and items, which include the ultra-realistic flying car and a special supersonic crossbow.

With Mafia Wars Shakedown being a social game at heart, you can, of course, bring your friends along for the ride, and then rob them blind when they least expect it. You can do this through Facebook or via Mafia Wars Shakedown's 'Mafia Code' system.

You can download Zynga's Mafia Wars Shakedown from the App Store for free, but your in-game antics may cost you some jail time.
