Keep in mind that you don't have the option to save your progress unless you finish the missions correctly or escape safely. Also, your objectives require space combats and attacking enemies. Lev's journey implies meeting new and strange characters, visiting various planets, rescuing people. This can be regarded as a cliche, but actually, the story will surprise you in the end. You play as Lev Arris, who goes to make researches concerning his identity, after he had a spaceship accident. The actors in this game are making the cinematics awesome, and they are: Clive Owen (who is one of my favorite actors), Mathilda May, John Hurt, Christopher Walken, Brian Blessed and Amanda Pays.

It definitely wasn’t the most expensive game ever made either, despite the line at the start, as Wing Commander 4 cost over twice as much. I love both games of course although unlike the reviewer here, I’d regard the combat as one the weaker aspects. I’m sure the fact that it had a British cast has nothing to do with it… You may notice that while Wing Commander 4 got a rough ride for its copious use of FMV, massive budget and unoriginality, Privateer 2 gets universal praise despite being just as guilty in all departments. While I give it a chance to come back online, here’s a scan of a Privateer 2 review from the January 1997 PC Format:. Maybe Star Citizen is just too popular for its own good but it’s still not a bad bit of publicity and puts the trouble with the RSI site in context. I was going join in his reddit AMA but it crashed about 30 seconds after I joined. It seems that Chris Roberts can’t go anywhere these days without breaking servers. I’ll add another scan of my own soon but not before I settle a score with a certain Death Star. I also uploaded the cover CD for the first of those new issues while I was at it + the previously missing cover CD’s for #102. Both of those are now available in full on here getting the archive past the halfway point in terms of scanning the first 110 issues. This review comes courtesy of Magnus Björkbom who quickly responded to my last post with a couple more PC Zone scans for issues #41 and #44. Not sure I’d go that far but it’s certainly a classic and seriously overdue a GOG rerelease:. Anderson goes on to conclude that Privateer 2 is better than either of them. There is plenty of room for both series which I’m intending to point out in the final part of my X-Wing playthrough if I ever actually finish it. I immediately side with the reviewer (Chris Anderson) when he starts out by saying how fed up he is of having to defend Wing Commander over X-Wing. This is a review of Privateer 2 from the November 1996 PC Zone.
