  Find a comfy chair. You'll be blazing guns and shooting down felons (or otherwise) for a long, long time.

  I remember when my dad pulled this game out from the local toy store bargain bin, and since then Wing Commander: Privateer has taken a special place in my heart. Never has there been, before or after, a more complete fre... Read Full Review

  Wing commander privateer is an AMAZING game, and another masterpiece from Chris Roberts.

  I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as a perfect game. Every game, no matter how amazing has flaws. Sure some have smaller flaws, or ones that don't affect the game much. But yet none are perfect. Private... Read Full Review

  I never got into the Wing Commander series that much because I saw it as really just another flight combat simulator in a sea of flight combat simulator games at that time. For me, the excellent Star Wars TIE Fighter ga... Read Full Review

  Oh, how I wish somebody would make a game like this today.

  By jwlanning | Review Date: Nov 15, 2006 | PC

  Since I upgraded to Windows XP and was cut off from perhaps the best space game ever made, I have been searching for a game that is anything close to Privateer. Unsuccessfully, I might add. How does one begin to descri... Read Full Review

  Great add-on to the classic Privateer game.

  By Celine_Aensland | Review Date: Oct 11, 2006 | PC

  Hot on the heels of the success of Privateer comes Righteous Fire, the expansion pack which picks up the story where Privateer left off. Righteous Fire uses the exact same stuff as Privateer, so there's no real need t... Read Full Review
