Sid Meier's Pirates! review:4 stars (can't dance) - although I've never won a dance this game is enjoyable. pirates, was the 1st pc game i had and yhis new verssion was like takin g a walk back it time.5 stars (Great fun on the high seas!) - Sid Meier's Pirates! is a wonderful adventure game. You explore the ocean as a pirate captain and experience life on the high seas. You can capture ships, sack cities and towns, and search for buried treasure. The game has many levels of difficulty, so you can have fun right away, but you don't get bored when you have mastered the game.
4 stars (awesome game, sid does it again) - Right, if you've seen Pirates of the Caribbean, you'll see a lot of familiar stuff here. If you liked the movie(and not just because Depp and Bloom were in it), then this will be a treasure you won't miss
STOP BLOWING HOLES IN MY SHIP!!
The fighting, looting, dodging, and overall pirating gameplay has been programmed beautifully. The only flaw in the gameplay standpoint is that sailing against the wind(usually eastwards) is at a crawl. The types of upgrades and different ships allow some strategy involvement, but not enough to make your brain strain. Diplomacy is for suckers, you can basically piss off all four countries(there's the English, Spanish, Dutch, and French) and not get in too much trouble. It's when you pick on one country in particular(I sacked every Spanish Town I could find) that you get into trouble.
WEDDINGS? I LOVE WEDDINGS!!! DRINKS ALL AROUND!!
I felt that swooning governers daughters was fun. My only fault with it is that if news of your exploits travels so fast(instantly for the most part), why don't the ladies know that you've been trying to pass the moves on other women? If you get the girl good enough, you can marry her, but there is very little gameplay bonus for it, just the ability to say that you're married.
YOU LOOK SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR, HAVE I THREATENED YOU BEFORE?
one of the biggest flaws(pretty much the only flaw) is that the animations and the people around you look alike. The animations are the same, just with different sprites. all of the cities are identical and everything is color coded(french wear blue, dutch wear orange, english wear red, and the spanish wear yellow). The important people, like rival pirates and evil folk, are a different lot and each have distinct sprites, but still fall victim to identical animations. Another problem, is that you have absolutly no character or ship customization. I was kinda hopin to create a swash-bucklin, Jack Sparrow-Blackbeard hybrid, but instead I get this Calvin-Klien reject who doesn't seem to age much. Ships are almost as bad, you can fly 6 different flags(French, English, Dutch, Spanish, Jolly-Roger, Blank) and have a small variety of imprints for your sails.
YOU THINK THIS WISE BOY? CROSSING BLADES WITH A PIRATE?
fencing is fun, but unless your at the higher difficulties you'll find yourself in five second duels most of the time.
I'M IN THE MARKET, AS IT WERE.
the cool thing about Sid's Pirates is that almost everything is pillageable. Cities, ships, gold, rival pirates, annoying guards. If I had the reigns of designing this game, I would make it so you could pillage the indian villages and jesuit missions. Most of the stuff you swipe you can claim for your own(ships, cash, trinkets) or your country(cities).
FOR SUCH A NEGATIVE OUTLOOK ON PIRATES YOUR WELL ON YOUR WAY TO BECOMING ONE!
the best thing about this game is that it is addicting, even for the doubters, haters, and non-gamers. I've handed the controls over to some skeptical people and they fall in love in 5 minutes. This game has an awesome conversion rate. If you don't love this game playing it, then something's wrong.
Long story short, if you don't mind reptetive animations, you'll love this game. If animation variety is a top priority, you'll be hooked still, but sadly dissapointed. It's hard to not like this game, despite its few flaws. If you have the cash and the drive space, or know someone who has the game, you have to try it out.
