Boomtown arrives at a score of 4/10:
It may be competently made, aside from the odd clipping issue and an occasional crash, but it is monotonous and dull. Persisting in the hope of uncovering something worthwhile is a sure path to disappointment. This is out dated design wrapped in a package you've seen done better elsewhere. Greed: Black Border could be a poster child for mediocrity. Low budget games have to take some kind of risk. They have to innovate on some level to draw in players because they can't compete with the production values of the big boys. Sadly this release is devoid of original ideas.
While AtomicGamer hits it with a 62%:
...the core game of Greed is just too slow and plodding to be worth it compared to loading up the old standby, Diablo II, or even most of its clones. It's too bad, because there's a solid foundation here from German developer Head Up Games, but they've got a long ways to go if they want to keep players' attentions. Games like these are all about hooking the player with constantly improving loot and abilities as well as fast-paced action, and without that, there's little point in pushing forward. If you're looking for something to keep you occupied until the release of Diablo III, this one will barely count as a blip in your gaming history.
