With an easy control interface, and its incredible graphics, game play and sound, this program is the best in its genre, without a doubt. It is a joy to play.
This is the only game in town as far as Fighting Sail games go. "Sea Dogs" is fantastic, but it's got much more of an individual piracy focus. But I don't want to make this like your grandpa tells you, "You're my favorite grandchild," and then you're all like, "But I'm your only grandchild." It's more than that.
The underlying design of Age of Sail II is very good, and its graphics are excellent. In many cases, the drama and tension of the real-life time period are very well portrayed during the scenarios and most of the campaigns. But clearly, the game was published before it was finished.
What saves Age of Sail II from the abysmal fate that many people on Akella's message boards claim it deserves is the excellent quality of the overall presentation in the music, graphics and sound systems.
The game interface is not easy to understand or utilize. The tiny icons are difficult to make out and the small written cues that pop up at the bottom of the screen are in a thematic naval font that is impossible to read.
The entire experience is crippled by an obtuse interface and abysmal documentation. All in all, this is one of the most unstable and frustratingly erratic games to anchor in software stores in quite some time.
It's hard to comment on what type of game Age of Sails 2 is, simply because most of it doesn't appear to function.

Summary The invading armada drifts on the horizon, preparing for war. On your order, the battle begins. Explosions break the peaceful atmosphere as the smoke distorts the scene. It was a time when nations fought for naval dominance ... a time of true adventure ... a time unlike no other. It was the Age Of Sail! [TalonSoft]
