Greed Corp: Are You Greedy Enough For This Game?

Greed Corp could possibly be the best innovative strategic war game ever designed for PSN (PlayStation Network) and XBLA (Xbox Live Arcade) platforms. Greed Corp however is mainly intended for strategic enthusiasts who can sit and play the game without becoming easily bored. For others they are definitely going to want to avoid this game simply because Greed Corp is more of the "nerd" type of game and a lot of patience (and free time) is needed to figure out the different strategies of the game.

The introduction video to this game is fine and really colorful. Greed Corp is filled with machines and structures in a very vibrant environment. There is no particular story to follow or a main boss to counter and save the princess in Greed Corp. The game is about four major corporations fighting with each other to survive in a land with limited resources. There are many vertical hexagonal pillars on which many types of equipment are placed. Up to four players can play this online in XBLA or PSN. The goal of the game while playing multiplayer is to be the last one standing at the end holding some piece of land.

There must be continuous effort from the user`s side to maintain the land or to buy new pieces of land as hexagonal blocks won`t stay as such once it is with you. The graphics in Games Corp are not that impressive. One would agree that if there were more details in each scenario and corporation things would be a little exciting and it would also impart a much better gaming experience. There is no zooming option for the game which makes it difficult to see what is happening on the map and that too, in a very wide map, can make things extremely complicated. There is no in between slides or animations to keep the player entertained. The graphics could have been more detail oriented throughout the game to provide for a much more exciting gaming experience.

Next is the back ground musical score which is extremely marvelous and it resembles an industrial tone from the past. The music keeps you sucked in while you play with its amazing sound effects and rhythm. The sound and special effects are the highlight of this game. The music alone improves the playability of the game by keeping you focused and mesmerized all at the same time and is probably the best thing about the game overall.

In order for Greed Corp to be considered a fine game for strategic gaming or social gaming, the graphics and detail must be enhanced. Many changes need to come if the manufacturer decides to design a sequel to this game or a safe prediction would be that the game will bomb (not literally). One thing that is unique about this game is that Greed Corp could possibly be made into a very successful board game for the coming generations. This game has already been released and can be bought for around $10 in most gaming stores; the price definitely suits the overall quality of the game itself.
