An Unforgettable Title (May 10, 2000)

[KrisV]

From Gamecenter comes another Starlancer review, and it's rather on the negative side. The actual review aside, the writer made the following comment on Privateer 2:Starlancer comes from the creators of the Wing Commander series, specifically the British team that developed Privateer 2: The Darkening (another forgettable game).And then, on the game engine:The ships move with the same liquid slowness that we've seen in almost all the Wing Commander games. It's as if they're nosing though a syrupy ether rather than hurtling though a vacuum. StarLancer uses one of the oddest and most counterintuitive flight models I have ever seen: the faster you fly, the faster you turn.Ehh... the reviewer has some very good points, but the 5/10 score is a little harsh. You can read the review here.
