    Despite the rather well done cinematics, the game failed miserably in the gameplay department and rife with bugs. The gameplay problems start with silly design decisions such as to make your own ship unable to move cargo itself, requiring you to hire cargo ships, turning every cargo run into an escort mission. Enemy pilots repeat the same phrase over and over again and again,Despite the rather well done cinematics, the game failed miserably in the gameplay department and rife with bugs. The gameplay problems start with silly design decisions such as to make your own ship unable to move cargo itself, requiring you to hire cargo ships, turning every cargo run into an escort mission. Enemy pilots repeat the same phrase over and over again and again, simultaneously if there are more than one. I guess my main gripe with the game was it's lack of scale, for a space sim, it felt very claustrophobic, with few planets to visit. This is a shadow of the original Privateer, a game with scale, scope and immersion I had never seen before, it really drew you in. It gets points for it's exquisite art direction, acting talent and visuals.… Expand
