The player may follow the built-in plot but is free to adventure on his own, even after the plot has been completed. Unlike Wing Commander, the player is no longer a navy pilot, but a freelancer who can choose to be a pirate, a merchant, a mercenary or any of the above in some combination. The player takes the role of Grayson Burrows, a " privateer" who travels through the Gemini Sector, one of many sectors in the Wing Commander universe. Privateer and its storyline is part of the Wing Commander series. Wing Commander: Privateer is an adventure space trading and combat simulator computer game released by Origin Systems in September 1993. ![]() By abdulahadbawany | Review Date: JI am a firm believer that there is no such thing as a perfect game.1993 video game Wing Commander: Privateer Every game, no matter how amazing has flaws. Sure some have smaller flaws, or ones that don't affect the game much. Privateer shakes that very belief to its core. Everything from the graphics (obviously dated, but near the very best of their time) to the soundtrack are absolutely breath taking. Everything fuses immersion and fun with surgical precision. From the functional but great looking hud, to the great and varied options when you land in one of the many landing zones. Set in the Gemini sector of the wing commander universe, Privateer is a game all about immersion. Every little detail pushes the very limits of immersion, and puts you in the pilot seat. From the amazing fights, to traveling the universe, prepare to experience the universe!īut how does Privateer play? The dog fights follow wing commander's formula of ww2 style dog fights. Slowly hitting enemies with lasers while avoiding getting missile locked. In addition, tension is applied during combat splendidly. The soundtrack causes your heart to speed up when damaged, and the fear of your shields being down and being a laser from death is an adrenaline pump. Traveling on the other hand is fun and simple. It's not extremely advanced, but it does the job while feeling fun. The gameplay (like pretty much everything in the game) adds to the immersion and feel of the game. Getting shot at means you'll get damage to your cockpit. As well as systems in game actually failing or not working at optimal pace when damaged. The difference while upgrading factors in quite a bit as well. Using either 2 of one type of laser, or 1 of 2 different types can be the difference between life and death. choosing ecms or ff missiles can be an important choice that will decide weather you live or die. The level of detail in privateer is what's probably the MOST immersive part of it! From going to bars in one of the many landing stations to hear rumors, to the different feel of each system. Each ship has a different cockpit, complete with functioning scanners and displays. Upgrades actually affect how your ship looks, and each part can be seen before buying it.ĭifferent characters in the story and universe actually feel distinct. ![]()
