Just that sort of game. It sucks you in and won't let go until suddenly you're late for work or the morning sun is peeking through the blinds and you realize you stayed up all night again.
The fact that Pirates is not based on the movie works to the game's advantage...The player is free to follow his own path with no preconceived notions.
The big, dramatic-looking naval battles pack in a lot of variety, and the open-ended structure of the campaign rewards your curiosity.
There are a few bugs we encountered, including one that muddled our quest list. Put it this way: we spent a lot of time saving, loading, and cursing. [Sept 2003, p.85]
Not a terribly friendly game. It has a wicked learning curve that will cause casual gamers to contemplate walking the plank. But if you're tough and self-reliant enough -- RPG-nerd points count here -- there be treasure here.
An oddity, and one cannot entirely dismiss murmurings of a rush job from its topsy-turvy execution - perhaps acknowledged through the slightly reduced retail price. This is not the definitive pirate RPG that many had hoped for, but beneath the problems a game exists with an enjoyable undercurrent; just reaching it is the challenge.
Pirates is a kick - swift and painful - to the gonads for all who've claimed the Xbox is no PC... This is a junky PC game waiting to be patched. It should be made to walk the plank. [Oct/Nov 2003, p.90]
