Summary
Lace up your platform shoes and pick up your diamond-studded whoop-ass cane - here comes a rival pimp bent on hijacking your hoes! Welcome to the world of Pimps At Sea, where you can hoist the jolliest of rogers and set sail for a different kind of booty. Pimps At Sea is a trailblazing combination of action and real-time strategy set in a lush, fully 3D world. You'll sail from port to port, making mad loot with all the freedom and realism offered by the most complex economic simulation ever to appear in a game. Groundbreaking AI means that women, johns and cops think and act with unmatched depth and complexity - and you'll need to master your sweet-talking and strong-arming skills to keep your game tight. In the streets or on the high sea, you'll need to smack down those who would lay you low: rival pimps, police, and even mutinous girls from your own stable. Expanding on Oni's innovative full-contact action system, you'll keep them all in check with an impressive arsenal of weaponry in addition to your hand-to-hand critical beatdown skills. But the real fun starts when you get online and compete with thousands of other players around the globe in the world's first and only massively multiplayer pimp simulation. Pimps At Sea: where pimping and poop decks collide! Arrrrrh, bitch! [Bungie] No, the game doesn't exist (yet) and all the review excerpts were faked by Metacritic.

It may not have the emotional impact of some of Square's RPG's, but it does have likeable characters, a huge amount of gameplay, an epic quest, and beautifully rendered environments and effects.

Finally a game for the pimps in us all.
GamingTrend
This is the must-have title for the season, if only because riding your Pimp-N-Ator 4000 into a harbor then blinding the locals with the shine from your pearl walking staff is the sort of adventuring that comes around once in a lifetime.

Great scripting, captivating characters, a good battle system, and two long GD-ROMs worth of game give you the bang for the buck.

There are much better things to spend one’s money on. Like root canals.

Everything is low quality and repetitive, you'll throw the game down in a number of minutes.

It starts off a bit sloppy, but once you start getting into it, you can't stop. Dualwield the musket and blunderbuss pistol. It won't let you down.
Peter W. gave it an8:
It's a fun and challenging game but I think it's unrealistic for the game to ignore the clear superiority of the Dead or Alive girls in favor of a feminized Metroid cyborg pimp. Seriously, Bungie needs to revisit the pimping mechanics for a more realistic gameplay. All in all, it's better than average.

This game is exquisite! The economy is unparalleled and unmatched in all respects. If only the video game retailers would get more in stock. Keep watching EBay kids.

This game starts with a pow and never stops delivering. Buy it!

Avast! There be no greater amount of pimpness aboard this industry. Truly the masterpiece to define slappin' on ye high seas for the ages to come. After all, it's the bling on your eye patch and the snakeskin on your wooden leg that matters. Yaargh!
George M. gave it a10:
Great game, but the easter eggs are just too good to be true! On level 7, if you cannon ball jump up the cliff located on the far side of the gravemound where you fight the Master of Hanged Men, you discover a cave that leads you to dazzling video presentation of Bungie's history and their games!
Bob B. gave it a10:
Truly bungie's finest hour!
