  1. Age of Booty gets huge points for common sense multi-player options and for being an entertaining, polished strategy game that's perfect for a quick or medium length game fix for small groups.
  2. Age of Booty is a multi-player affair so much in fact that you should not look at the challenges in the game as a single-player component.
  3. While not devoid of fun moments, overall Age of Booty feels more like an endurance match than a strategy game in which the first one to slip up loses.

    Awesome multiplayer mode. It is a simple RTS game - but has lots of strategic depth - and is a real hoot when you get a good team together. You really need a headset for multiplayer to work properly i.e. communication with your team is important! Production values are very high and I expect to be playing this addictive game for many months to come. For 800 points - this is really is XBLA bargain of the year. Get plundering you scurvy dogs!

    Age of Booty is a really great casual game. It combines some really deep strategy elements with a stunningly simple interface that's easy for anyone to pick up and play. The theme, visuals and sound track are all good cheeky fun and go a long way towards emjamcomg tje ex[eroemce/ The single player 'challenges' are fun but this game truly shines in multiplayer mode which sports a plethora of different maps and team play scenarios. This game likely won't make your pulse poind, but it *will* provide hours and hours of lively, low impact fun, and after all isn't that what gaming is all about? Expand
