REVIEWS AND RATINGS OF THE MOST POPULAR PIRATE GAME
Overall Rating of Sid Meier's Pirates is 4 out of 5 Stars
Positive Review: This game is undoubtedly one of Sid Meier's best. The game is easy to learn, fun to play, has GREAT graphics, and several different difficulty levels. "Pirates" also has an interesting (if inaccurate) historical aspect. Nine famous pirates can be tracked down and defeated in the game, including Blackbeard, Henry Morgan, L'Ollonais, and Jean Lafitte. History buffs like myself will of course know that Lafitte and Blackbeard were about 115 years apart in history, but it certainly doesn't take any fun out of the game.
There are several different modes of play that keep the game interesting- sailing the seas, battling between ships, duels between you and various opponents (Ship Captains, Military Officers, Wanted Criminals, and other Pirates), tactical attacks on cities (my personal favourite), and dances with governors' daughters. Each mode of play features fast paced yet simple gameplay and excellent graphics.
Positive Review: This is my favorite game. There are so many cities it's almost impossible to remember everything so it feels much like a new game each time you play. Sometimes the sea travel seems slow but they did speed up the ship battles in the last patch. There is no lewd behavior or language, no blood and guts, and no death so I think that this game is pretty family-friendly.
Negative Review: When Sid Meier's Pirates! came out in 1987, it immediately became a classic, it was the game of the year. The game had such a success that they did a powerful sequel in the early 90's called Pirates Gold buy unfortunately, it had performance issues with graphics, etc and had lots of bugs. Now Imagine, a dedicated community of fans of the game waiting 10 years for a sequel of this masterpiece, and when it comes out, it looks like preteen game. The game is addictive and truly follows the spirit and nature of the original Pirates!, however, the cartoonish approach of the game obliterates any serious attempt to deliver a true pirate strategy adventure game. If you expect a serious pirate game, you should not play this game because you will find the exact opposite because of its cartoonish and childish approach.
