Privateer 2: The Darkening

this game is absolute garbage by modern standards. It's nearly impossible in the early stages, for hours upon hours upon hours.

It's a good game. Not necessarily a great game, but a good game. It took a step in the right direction with sandbox games when few were to be had and the world of MMO didn't exist. The taunts and scan lines were poor components, but the large world and equipment choice does something to keep you intrigued and aiming higher. As for the story, it's a wonderful blanc et noir detective story. I won't say it aged like wine and is better today than it was then, but it's nice to relive the memories and still has its merits. As for performance, one simple improvement is to go to the desktop shortcut properties and change it from playing in fullscreen mode to maximized. It speeds up. For better color, you have to run it windowed. Some things just don't port well.

Title? It's fine. I played the first Privateer when I was on the Fire Department.

An oldie space sim but enjoyable. FMV scenes showing the games age.

i like it better then the first one it was like I'm in a movie and getting better stuff had a meaning the characters there are a great cast and the ending was fantastic i wish they make another one
