Controls need remapping

The over all freedom and story line during the game is good. But the controls are jumbled and placed randomly. The game takes to long to get used to unless you have a gaming keyboard.

It's your call.

Well, the good and the bad things about the game pretty much balance out. Let's start with the good things first though. The game is deep into the naval genre, and can keep you entertained for hours. Theres always another mission to do and another ship to sink. You can choose to serve Spain, England, France, Holland, Dutch, or be a plain old pirate. Taking colonies for yourself is very fun and challenging, as all nations become agressive to you, if you can manage to take the fort, which will usually decimate your fleet if you're not prepared. Now, the bad things. This game is very buggy, so much that I would not buy it unless you were going to download the patches. There are frequent crashes to the desktop, game freezes, and so many bugs it's not even funny. If you have a Radeon 9200 graphics card, you MUST download the patches, because it will not work on most Radeon cards without them. And the game uses Starforce, a stupid copy protection program that buries itself into the dark corners of your pc. Even if you uninstall the game, some bits of Starforce will remain, and if you don't eliminate them, they will cause driver failures, hard drive failures, basically make your computer life a living hell. I uninstalled my game because of Starforce, which was already screwing up my pc. So, if you feel like putting up with those major headaches, then I would buy the game.
