![]() In Privateer 2, every planet and spaceport is DIFFERENT (gasp!) to look at. ![]() The ports of call where one can acquire such employment and anything else of value have had a major overhaul since the original game. Unlike the previous Privateer, free-range piracy is out of the question. In order to go about this task, one has the choice of either becoming a commodities trader or a mercenary for hire. In order to progress his research and improve his existence, Lev Arris must make money, lots and lots of money. Privateer 2 was made in the Manchester division of Origin's offices. ![]() True to the fashion of Origin's Wing Commander series, the story is rife with melodrama, a host of overacting, and a few big names including Christopher Walken, Brian Blessed and lesser-known John Hurt.Ī new twist in these videos is the entertaining melange of quirky English accents. A story that is advanced through a series of video clips that take Lev Arris leapfrogging from planet to planet in search of his past, meanwhile gaining lots of money and progressively cooler-looking ships. This tired and overdone premise is the entrance to a surprisingly interesting and entertaining story. It is up to you to fill the gaps of your memory using your wits, skills, money and as much firepower as you can muster. All you have is a name, Ser Lev Arris, 13000 credits to your name and an implicit knowledge of piloting and space combat. On top of all this you have no memory of who you are. A place where political maneuvers are as deadly as combat maneuvers. Once again, you, the young wary space- warrior, have awakened in a universe of military strife, religious fanaticism, and criminal rule. Well, actually the name of the game is Privateer 2, but the point is to make lots and lots 'o money. Avast pilot! It be time to jump the space lanes again.
