So sue me. PR2, to me, does not fit the bill for "good old game."
Many of you will probably disagree with me, but here are my issues with Port Royale 2:
* The scenarios are too long
* Gaining rank takes forever because
* Trading to make profit takes forever, even though
* The towns' demand for materials is predictable, but yet
* It's like grinding in an RPG, considering how little money you make toward your next goal
* I found that a handful of scenarios couldn't be completed because the game was buggy and did not recognize when certain tasks had been accomplished
* Battle was boring, simply put.
* Town building is sooo last-minute tacked-on. Not nearly as in-depth as games like Tropico
I think this game's problem is that it just pulled in too many directions, and failed in each of them.
Then again, for $10, it wouldn't kill you to try it.
