grew up on this game and its a fun one I will come back to when I need a chill time with pirate adventures.

I have owned this game on multiple platforms and both here and dvd rom. I have always enjoyed this game and I think it's still what a Pirate game should be. Personally think this is the best one available to play, even with the new MMO other crappy ones out. This one is still by far the gold standard. Wish they would make a sequel in the same style as Sid Mejer's Pirates. Great game.

I hate to leave a bad review because I love Civ and many people consider this game a classic and one of the best pirate games of all time.

I have to disagree sadly as I had high hopes for this game because there are basically no good pirate games and I thought this would be the one.

My problem with the game is that it is too simple and pretty easy as well. There isn't much strategy needed here. Sure you can strategize how to make the maximum gold, but its not a nessesity because you can make alot of gold doing just about anything. And there is nothing to spend the gold on either, ship upgrades are cheap and very limited, and theres barely a point to have multiple ships since you can only use 1 in combat at a time.

You don't really get to make any strategic decisions other than where you want to sail and in the end it doesn't matter much regardless.

I feel like this game has tons of potential if they added just a bit more complexity, but as is its rather simple and boring.

I have played this game for many years, and there are few to no games of this genre — or other genres for that matter —that can compete with this game. The atmosphere is unmatched, and on a quiet day I can almost feel the boom swing over my head and the sea breeze waft through my hair; it truly is an experience unmatched by any other. I truly beseech you: give the game a shot. It is ten dollars, which is merely a deposit if you don't lose yourself in the experience in the first two hours (but you will,) and there is no better value in gaming than thee one I received from this game; no amusement park can give you the hundreds of hours of entertainment or memories for $1000 that I have cherished for $10. Just give it a shot, this game is truly Embriglicated!

It is a really good game could not be better really like everything about it price good.

one of my favorite games of all time. I sure think that I've played more than 192 hours though. I've played 192 hours JUST THIS WEEK I think!

This game keeps crashing. An uninstall and reinstall seems to fix it. My suspicion is that 'Microsoft Phone Link' or whatever it's called keeps making my game crash. I'm usually able to restore to the 'Battle' last saved game, and I don't lose much progress that way.

very good
