Privateer 2: The Darkening

I bought this based on some of the reviews. I was expecting something. But all I got was an old game that performs poorly on modern hardware, a joke for an interface, and ugly... I have yet to find one redeeming thing to say about it. Even the manual fails to show the bizarre key layout. All the higher reviews don't say what they actually liked about the game. Maybe it is the only game they have ever played? I just don't get it. I only gave it a 2 for trying to be Privateer. You are better off playing the first Privateer.

thanks for adding privateer 2, i was enthralled by this game as a kid!!!!

This is the game I've been hoping to see added ever since I joined GoG. I still have the originals around somewhere (but disc 2 got damaged beyond use)... it's wonderful to finally get a working version again. Can't wait to wake up in that hospital again.

It's an amazing game - I'll let others wax lyrical about that. My problem is this: I have both the Dos(box) and Windows 95 originals, and I've never managed to complete either as they both become a crash-fest around halfway through the story. I'll try the GoG version too, and pray it somehow doesn't suffer the same issue.

Can't kill any ship even with the 3k laser gun,impossible. Their shields just fill up as quick as you put in a few shots. No save game function. No quit function,I have to shutdown my PC to shut down the game. Just awful. The movie parts are fun like a b grade sci fi and i love the music but gameplay,awful.
