Privateer 2 -Ignore the Negative Reviews
If you were a fan of the game privateer, you enjoyed playing the old star wars rogue squadron or wing commander games, or if a fast-paced arcade space fighter game is what you're looking for - this is the game for you. Ignore the 1* reviews, in 35 hours I encountered 1 bug and I found the original Rebel Galaxy unplayable (couldn't get over a space game that plays like a sea game). As most of the negative reviews are from people crying that it isn't the same as Rebel Galaxy (it's much better), just ignore them and tell em' to get over it. Pros: - very fast paced - fun arcade style combat - great soundtrack with over 20 hours of music (listen to the commercials; they're funny and provide good info) - side games (the pool simulator was a lot of fun) - interesting characters (there are no 'good guys' so make sure you're OK with that) - variety of different ways to play and succeed: kill bad guys, help the police, transport cargo, mine rocks - ship and weapon variety is well-balanced: some weapons and ships are better than others, but nothing is perfect, so you need to figure out what fits best for you and how you want to play Cons: - There is a great selection of missions, but can get a bit grindy. I didn't mind too much as the fighting is a ton of fun, but once I felt this I went back to finishing up the main story (i did play for 35 hours before finishing) - occasionally a mission will get funky in that you can't find what you're looking for (it's there, but space is big) or the enemies aren't all dead (may have to wait around or explore a bit). But it's more fun fast-paced, so move on if a side-mission drags. - The game ends...no fanfare...just ends. It looks like they were planning an expansion but I don't think that's happening This is a REALLY fun game that has been dragged down down fans who are angry that it isn't the game they wanted, which is really unfortunate as this one is far more fun. This is the Privateer game many of us have been waiting for.
