 Rating:  - Severely limited and absolutely no replayabilityI've never played the original Sid Meier's Pirates! but I have played "Cutthroats", which I found to be very lavish and expansive, despite severe limitations regarding commanding troops to besiege cities and other sorts of details. This one has rather good graphics for a relatively small game, and plays well and fluidly. For my taste, it has far too great of a cartoonishness to it, which severely limits the potential for it to be as violent and cutthroat as... well, "Cutthroats". There's ... Read More Rating:  - A shell of what could have been a great gameSid Meier's Pirates is a mixed bag. The game is fun to play for a few days, but it's incredibly short and with little replay value unless you enjoy doing the same thing over and over again. It promises exploration and excitement, but delivers long periods of waiting for the wind to pick up and propel your war galleon across the sea. It supposedly has four different time periods of piracy to play in, but the only difference is in the level of fun, not difficulty or content. You get to swordfight with ... Read More Rating:  - Fun but with a few faultsThis game is AWESOME when you first start playing it. The graphics and colors are excellent. It is alot of fun swordfighting, blasting cannons at ships, and many others. I wish there could of been a multiplayer feature built in to play with or against a buddy. I wish there wa smore to romancing the daughters also. I wish the top 10 pirates were a little more harder to catch as well. Once you find them and kill them, the challenege of finding them is gone and they are dead forever. It would of been nice to ... Read More Rating: - Awsme for a day!If you get a chance to rent the PSP or XBox version do that, or wait till the game costs about the same as a rental because it's only fun for about day or 2 and then becomes very repetitious and boring. When I first started playing the game I was amazed by the interactivity of the ocean, but soon became annoyed by the endless tiresom traveling from one city to another just to find the next part of a map. Everything looks the same and blends together after the first 3 hours of playing. Read More Rating: - Pirates? Yes. Repetitve? Yes.It could have been better. Sid Meier is a fantastic game-maker, and I hear the original was great. This is apparently a decent remake, however the repetition starts to grate upon you after your fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth time around. It's true that you can increase difficulty, which makes it a bit better, but still....Fights are very scripted and end ususally the same way. Dancing and socializing is more like playing "Simon Says." Perhaps this is why Pirates! went extinct on the high seas so many years ... Read More |
