I remember having my first(i think) made PC and owning this game. I had bought a blue light bulb for my room and would get into this game like nobodies business. Loved the little fly in scenes to the planets. Every time I see Clive I remember this game!
The reason people hate this game is the universe. Everyone was expecting the well known Wing Commander universe; people did not realize they took the WC name off it right before launch. Privateer 2 is a surrealist, strange world to say the least. I appreciate it more now looking back, it reminds me of some British made sci-fi show, but it still has no even passing resemblance to WC.
I loved this game and the freedom it offered over wing commander. Brian Blessed was amazing, you will never get a man of such talent anymore they are all whiney boygirl actors.
Best line was How much? About 10k... Nasty dispickible infidels.
this game was rushed into production and lacked compatibility with windows 95, a total let down for me all them years ago. put me off space combat games for life.
Just my impression when you stack this against other Origin products of a similar time frame like Wing Commander 4 the Price of Freedom there is no comparison.
Also if this one interests you then head over to Wing Commander Central and check out the rest of them.
You can even download all the video sequences at once.
I blame spoony for having me come here to watch this.

I don't get what people have against this game. Sure, it's not as in-depth as the original Privateer or Freelancer, but it's still a solid game.

But even Wing Commander 3 & 4 had its moments in camp, it's just that this game has more Brits in space.
At least now you can re-enact all your Blake's 7 fantasies. I need to finish this game badly.

why does the description say "typical bad acting"?
i think for an early video game the sequenzes are amazing and dont take itself too seriously
