    Buccaneer is a fun game made by a pair of very talented designers. The graphics are top notch and some of the best I have ever seen in an independent game.

    Nothing deep here but even though the game has very arcade-like roots, taken as a package it works. The scored missions give a reason to try to achieve a quick and efficient solution. This may not be a game that you will sit down and spend hours with, but in increments you should walk away with a smile on your face.

    You might have seen that I've been using words like adequate and fine often in this review, and that's really because it's the best way to describe the game: good. Not great, not bad, but there are plenty of worse ways to spend $20. With over fifty missions and 26 ship types there's enough to keep an eager pirate playing, but without an online audience the game's potential is hindered.

    This is an out an out arcade game representing excellent value for money, superb graphics and extremely addictive playability. Multiplayer is awesome and with over 50 missions has plenty of longevity. Highly recommended.… Expand

    Decent enough, but I can't help but feel that it's just trying to cash in on the pirate-craze. Very limited room for tactics in this game, to say nothing of the absence of concern for wind direction, and Age-of-Sail fans will probably find themselves wanting. A rather casual, almost arcade-ish sort of pirate game. Fine for some, I suppose, maybe I'm just spoiled by similarly-themed offerings over the years. Definitely try the demo first.… Expand

    I gave this game a 3 simply cause the graphics look amazing... Other than that i feel this game is un orginal and a complete rip off... Now some of you are thinking how is it an un orginal rip off, Its quite simple actually Google: Sid meiers Pirates... I happen to be a big fan of sids and i know him well, i love his orginal game pirates and I feel selling a game simular, Very simular to his idea is outrageous...… Expand
