Customer Reviews of Merchant Prince 2
Don't waste the money The premise for the game is as good as it is familiar. Take stuff from here and trade it there for more than you paid. You build up trade routes, buy influence at court, etc. Unfortunately, the game stinks. The trade route option doesn't work, you are forced to micro-manage at every step even the piddling ones that really should be automated.
If you are looking for a good trading sim, don't buy this one.
Painful walk down memory lane.
Merchant Prince II is a painful twisted mutation that sends most old Machiavelli fans packing. The core of the game is good, because it's the old one. However, the new interface is awkward, the trade routes don't work as well anymore (Especially in Multiplayer), and crashing is always right around the corner.
Yet again, this is an excellent example of a product not tested enough before it hit the shelves. However, what makes this case of lackluster testing really offensive is that there was a base game built approximately 6 years ago. The game did not change that much, so how can you take a working old game, totally screw it up and then release it as a working product? Save your money, or better yet, build an old DOS system and find the old game, and play that.
The worst game EVER
This is the "Plan 9 from Outer Space" of computer games. It is so bad, you might want to buy it just to experience the misery. What makes this game so bad and ultimately unplayable is the user interface, which is a cryptic and bewildering collage of badly-rendered artwork. Once you have found the random icon that lets you actually trade goods, you are left with a number of important questions, such as "Am I buying now, or an I selling now?" "How much money do I have?" and "What is the object of this game, how do I win, and what should I be doing?" I tried to play this game three times and I never completed a single turn. This one should never have been released.
