The Corporate Machine

decent game, but a bit overpriced. i played one game to completion and found that theres not enough going on for the $10. id wait to pick this up on sale for around $5-7.00 unless you really like these type of game, i personally expected a bit more,

The Corporate Machine is actually very interesting and well-done. Although the graphics are a little outdated, this game is great. Especially in 2001, if you were making a strategy game, it HAD to be based off war. But this one is like Risk, and still, instead of using your armies to conquer the world, you use competitvley low prices and monopolies to do so. One problem I have with the game is that there is no real in-game tutorial, like modt other PC games of the time. However, there is a manual online.

I think the mechanics arent working to be honest. So I decided to build the company store then upgrade it to the company mall where it promises that I will be able to cut costs of my employees by 15% each level. However, when I proceed to do it. nothing happens. My costs still remains the same. manufacturing costs and the rest are the same. is this game broken? And when i'm playing in the normal mode it seems that even if I had the 'researcher' specialised field, i'm always being overtaken. Even though many years has passed, bugs are prominent in this game causing it to crash. When I research things as well ie.jet engine. my aircraft still looks the same as what I start off with - a propeller driven plane, not like the picture above. what a dissapointment.

The first thing I need to say is READ THE MANUAL! If you're like me and tend to play a casual game or two to get the hang of things it's very easy to have no idea what you are doing and lose the game. A quick skiim of the manual will give you an idea of what is what and how the game runs. I very nearly wrote a bad review after my first game after giving up in just five minutes, I hadn't read the manual and had no clue what I was doing. The graphics and sound options on the game are not great, basic graphics and no volume control are something of a turn-off, but you can do what I did and turn off the game's music and ignore the graphiocs quality. Style of play.... According to the game there are three ways of playing; production, marketing and research. Nope. You either do all three or you'll have a hard time playing. All you really get top decide is which area you have that edge. Production is the number one priority since lack of products means lack of sales, and with no sales toy h...

16 year old game that still works flawlessly on new PC systems. There's a small learning curve once you start a new game but as soon as you figure it out the game quickly becomes quite addicting and you'll likely find yourself sitting for hours trying to grow your operations to take over the world. 10/10

Love this game. A very good waste of time. Kind of wish there were more options available, but oh well. Got it for $3.

The game is ok, but it lacks in any sort of guide to help new players out but is fairly simple in its gameplay. after playing a little bit i have to say i am slightly dissapointed with the game

Some crashes and bugs. Really no excuse for a game that's been around this long - I would expect this from sandbox / pre-release. Got it for $5 - totally worth it.

Love the idea of the game, but it just keeps on crashing for me

The devs forgot to update the game for modern systems. Still thumbs up since it was a good at game sometime
