    With a strong AI, a tried and true game concept, and beautiful graphics and sound, Port Royale is a great game.

    Port Royale has depth of gameplay and presents this enjoyable but challenging escapade against a rich background of a battle for power in the Caribbean.

    Even though you may find moments of frustration with the game's missions and its challenging economic model, digging deep into Port Royale provides a varied and open-ended experience--along with the simple satisfaction of playing as a pirate.

    A detailed trading sim for merchants, but too much budgeting and not enough buccaneering to recommend to pirate fans.

    While this game is fun, it has a steep learning curve, and, in my opinion is very difficult. I have spent many hours playing and trying out various missions, which are difficult in their own right. All an all a decent title, quite similar to Pirates of the old days. However, i find it to be missing something.… Expand
