It's, Like, You Know (Privateer)

DarkStar One is still making the online review rounds... and everyone is still comparing it to Privateer! Here's two more articles that mention our favorite trading game. The first review is from 1Up.com:

While it owes much of the inspiration for its concept and gameplay to Freelancer (and, by extension, Wing Commander: Privateer), DarkStar One changes up enough details to keep a pained "not again!" from escaping your lips.

... and then here's another from PC Authority:

Since the days of Elite, and later Privateer, we’ve longed to pilot our own version of Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon (or Mal Reynolds’ Serenity, for the new generation), trading goods, fighting for or against pirates, and building up our own intergalactic empire... Ascaron’s DarkStar One tries to bridge the gap, and is more like the original Elite and Privateer games that we grew up on.
