    A masterpiece for insiders. If you own a Port Royal I, or a Patrician and do not want another, this is not your game. When you want the best trading sim and also like wooden ship this is big time. When you own Port Royal I it is hard to recommend. I bought this full price and think it is worth it! A suppreme game has been made better! But its gameplay and qualitity is almost the same as version I. I give this 'addition' a 10 because I wonder why I ever stopped playing the previous version anymore. Did not find the time to compare. … Expand

    A well execute and enjoyable traders / pirates of the Carribean simulation. Play as pirate, privateer, or trader. Let down by the tactical ship battle aspect, which is OK but can get tedious and just doesn't work as a good gameplay mechanism. Also lacks sufficient detail and mechanisms for large-scale management of a trading empire, so a long game can degenerate into micromanagement hell. Still, some entertainment value here.… Expand

    Sort of fun for a few hours, but then the tedium sets in. After a couple days all I could think was "boooooring!"

    No, no and no. This sequel is a big disappointment. I was expecting better sea battles and more trading options than in the original Port Royale. Instead of that, they simplified the sea battles and removed some trading options!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!! The new content they added is not even enough for an add-on, let alone for a sequel :@

    This game is captivating. As it is all free play you can play it at you leisure (so far 58 hours of pleasure!). The game play has heaps of variety, twists and turns to keep you hooked and divorced :-) Highly recommended. Better that all the SimCity and tycoon games put together.

    Absolutely amazing game. Only if there were some endings to the free play mode! After one has received 16 towns as gift nothing happens, whatever you do!

    Buy and sell. That's it. Fun in the beginning, but after a while boring because it's always the same.

    I have to say that despite having spent many hours on the first one, this just didnt have enough extras to stop me feeling like i had loaded up port royale again. played microsoft pirates as a kid and dreamt about the possibilities which could follw on, but the developers have lacked in vision for over a decade now. very disappointing.

    Good strategy game with challenging ships battles, nice trading and interesting development. Easy to control ground battles and one to one duels with swords against captains and pirates. You have to love detail management and to see your business growth and maybe you’ll became owner of a town.

    A trading game with some aspects of RTS added, so for the armchair empire sim fans it will probably rate at least a look, and probably an outright purchase, but the game probably isn't for everyone since the steep learning curve could well put some people off, but perseverance will pay off for sure.

    A fair attempt at a sea-trading title, which fans will enjoy; however the lack of any innovation could put off those looking for something new.

    Above all, Port Royale 2 is a remarkable accomplishment, largely because it can make economic simulations captivating even to those who may typically dislike the idea of this game genre.
