Wanted Corp

If you were just looking for a fun palette cleanser after Saints Row or Skyrim, then you got Boba Fett with long hair and a dumb looking vest. Either way, there are better games out there in this style, but if you have already played Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, for $10 Wanted Corp is not a bad choice.

Wanted Corp. isn't a bad title, just one that follows a million others like it and one that makes a design choice that doesn't quite fit. It can't quite make it to the heights some other recent dual-stick games have, but for $10, you could do a hell of a lot worse.

Those who'll be hunting fugitives alone might want to hunt somewhere else, but if you can scrounge up a co-op mate, then this bounty is worth pursuing.

Perhaps it's the drab atmosphere, ordinary visuals, linear paths, and repetitive dialogue that kept us from loving it. Wanted Corp is decent, but not nearly decent enough for a recommendation this holiday season when there are already so many great titles to choose from.

The big guns, bright visuals, and plenty of upgrades all feel right, but solo play is dull. [Holiday 2011, p.85]

Wanted Corp makes traveling to an exotic planet and battling strange creatures a repetitive bore.

For this price, Wanted Corp. doesn't have much to offer. The gameplay's dull, the cooperative IA in solo mode not very bright, the level design less-than-stellar... There's really not much to be saved here.
