Editorial Review:
Sid Meier is an authoritative designer of some of the leading Role-Play games. What does it take to become one of the most feared, successful, and revered pirates of history? Here's an all new version of the classic Pirate role-play scenario that'll shiver your timbers as you yell ahoy! Confront enemies on board ships, in seedy taverns, on the ramparts and even at the Governor's mansion. Wield weapons - or anything within your reach - as you fence against foes. Engage in fierce naval battles fighting single enemies or multiple ships. ESRB = E Everyone

Rating:  - Pirates! ROCKS
From playing this game back on the Sega Genesis to the computer version to even now this game rocks. There are too numerous adventures to play. Hours upon hours of cutlass swinging, mast breaking, treasure finding, relative rescuing fun. Can't beat.
Rating: - Great Game, But Comes With Minor Kinks
I had already purchased some pirate-themed video games over the past couple of years and became glad that I threw my hat into that genre. Apparently this genre is unique in that it involves elements of both role-playing games and action adventures. The other pirate games I have played focus on the main theme of trade, which is fun from the business and economy sense. (Buy low and sell high; the more money you make, the more expensive features become available.)

Rating: - Popular Gift in My Family
I haven't played this game myself suprisingly, but a few of my family members have now all requested it and love playing it. They've ben playing it for quite some time and are still just as into it as day one.
Rating: - Great game with hours of entertainment.
The new installment of the old classic (I remember playing Pirates Gold on the Sega Genesis) is a great update. The different difficult levels force players to hone their pirating skills on land, sea, and with the ladies.
The tactical battle setup is a vast improvement. Crushing the enemy, drawing them into an ambush, or sneaking troops by to storm the city all come with their own risks and rewards. The only drawback is the inability to choose the type of troop you will have (i.e. ... Read More
Rating: - Outstanding game play!
Sid Meirs is genius. This game will give you many hours of intense game play. I wish there were more games of this quality to enjoy, instead of the mindless shoot-em-up stuff that makes up 90% of the games sold. I love the open endness of the game which allows the player to enter the game as not only a pirate but a trader or Spanish raider. It's also educational for younger players; teaching them the geography of the tropics and the location of many current cities. Highly recommended!
