Industry Player rocks the world!

(5/5) Reviewed by User: James Cohick on Wed Jun 16 2004
After ten months of working day and night Industry Player is released out of Beta testing! Now I know that you may be upset about this because then you will have to pay money for it. You don't know how wrong you are! If you play the game correctly and shoot to the top of the scoreboard you can get enough credit points to access the Gold version of Industry Player. With just a touch of a button you can go through and buy all of your goods instead of clicking over and over again. And don't forget the graphs and charts that will help you decide what liscences to invest in. There is also the in game chat that enables you to communicate with your fellow players from around the world, and mabey even pick up a few tips along the way that will allow you to become the richest player to ever play Industry Player!

Industry Player - Largest Online Multi-player Business Sim on The Internet

(5/5) Reviewed by User: Moghul on Tue May 04 2004
I have been playing this game now for 9 months and find the concept behind it exciting. Still in BETA its development has advanced considerably, considering it was released only last July, in 2003. Players can register under their country of origin and fly their national flag. There are over 80 different nations competing in Industry Player, which gives this game a great dimension. Scoreboards not only record individual scores but also rank the nations under their national flags.

A feature allowing the principal corporate Holding to acquire subsidiary Holdings is the latest addition to the this game of business strategy.

A Stock Exchange has been confirmed by the developer as an up and coming feature yet to be added, which will involve the Corporate Holdings within Industry Player and will enable players to trade shares in each other's companies, to strategise hostile take-overs, acquisitions bids and corporate mergers.

I look forward to the final development of an exporting and importing feature between nations, which will be tracked to provide balance of trade statistics between the various nations, with each competing to become the global hub of Industry Player. A most interesting game, very enjoyable and still with further great potential on offer.

Industry Player - Uniquely Different - Fresh Graphics

(5/5) Reviewed by User: Dinger on Tue Nov 04 2003
This recently published game is a refreshingly different and very intelligent addition to the collection of online multi-player games. It stands out uniquely in its genre. A welcome departure from the far too many combat games offering the same old same old, bereft of originality with little that is original.

Conversely, Industry Player, still in BETA testing, is a new concept of strategy sim, unlike the majority. Although a text-based interface, there is an abundance of slick fresh graphics, which present a nice "feel" of quality and excellence.

The software is genuinely "bug-free". The game developer is not only thorough, but responsive to player suggestions. Just two months following publishing, player-suggested features have been promptly implemented and the third update is already being trialed with further new features added.

If the development of the game continues to progress at the rate it currently is, this game will be hard to beat for quality of graphics and seamless user friendly functions; for a good level of interest and challenging gameplay to test player skills.

The concept of the game:-

As the name suggests it is not a blood and guts combat game. War is waged in a corporate backdrop, rather than on an open battlefield between columns of troops.

Strategy begins in company boardrooms. Player decisions involve high finance, a choice of industries to enter, manufacturing of products, price wars, marketing strategies, liquidations, upsizing into multi-billion dollar markets, profit margins and even bankruptcy. Each player can incorporate a maximum of five companies. Each company operates independently of the other. You are the Boss, you make the decisions.

New features are being and will be added continually to improve the game's pace and rate of challenge to player skills. I think it will be worth the wait for these. In the meantime, now is an excellent opportunity to start the learning curve which will serve to familiarise players with the game's concept - in readiness for the "cutting edge" stuff yet to come.
