Frontierville - The Story So Far

When it comes to Facebook games, there is no company bigger and meaner than Zynga Media. This very company is responsible for all sorts of major Facebook games. To list a few, Zynga has developed Farmville, Texas Hold Em Poker, and Mafia Wars. You can even see Farmville products in general convenience stores! This article is a review of their latest game, Frontierville.

Frontierville is very similar to Farmville. Like the farm game, you have to navigate your way around a wild area. In the case of Frontierville, you are now located in the Wild West. You have to clear this wild surrounding and turn it into a comfortable and safe homestead. During the beginning of the game, you have to clear a forest. You have to clear the pine trees, the rocks, the animals remains, wild flowers, and thorns. Once in a while, a wild animal will also pop up. There are four different types of wild animals: the gophers, the grizzly bears, the foxes, and the snakes. You have to clobber all four of these wild animals in order to keep your farm nice and tidy. They also take a lot of your energy away if you leave them to dwindle in your homestead. The fox also likes to eat your chickens and geese so you have to get rid of them quickly.

Now for the review. Frontierville has been a hit and miss so far. Many Facebook users have praised this game as the best Facebook game yet, due to the graphics and gameplay. You can even play Frontierville in full size screen mode which means you have nothing else to distract you while you play (e.g. Facebook adverts). Unfortunately, Frontierville has also been plagued by its monetary issues. For example, many users who play this game feels that there is an intense monetizing strategy going on with Frontierville. Sure, Zynga needs to make money in order to stay alive but they feel certain aspects of the monetary strategy are not necessary. For example, earlier in the game, you could get five energy points for 25 food supplies. Now, you can only get 3 for 36 food supplies. As you can see, this has made the game a lot harder for those who only play for the joy and fun. It has also made Frontierville a whole lot easier for those who are willing to spend the cash to become the best pioneer in the Wild West.

Despite the monetary issue, Frontierville is still a great game to play. Check out our website for more news, tips, and guides on Frontierville.
