This is a great game. Its simplistic interface makes this game truely fun, combined with the fact that it is an almost completely open storyline.

What makes it even better is the amount of mods available on the net. Even mod tools are available, and the game was designed to be mod-able.

JUst like the SEGA classic

A fun game to play at any pace. Based on the Sega Pirates Gold game just jazzed up and dressed up keeping the basic classic game play the same. I definitely enjoy watching the gun battles

Might be nice, but I wouldn't know...

Someone at Firaxis apparently decided to release this game while it was still in beta. It wouldn't run at all on my computer. I installed it on a friend's PC, and it runs for about 2-3 minutes before crashing. Gameplay looks intriguing, but it's way too unstable to play. After spending over an hour installing the latest patch and doing some basic troubleshooting, I'm giving up. It's hard to believe this comes from the same people as the venerable Civilization franchise. I feel ripped off.

great game.graphics,interplay is great.we have the Primus strategy guide which has helped a lot.the only drawback we saw is you can't adjust the speed.it plays fast.so save at least a couple of times thru the game in case you want to go back and try a different strategy,use this especially in the higher difficulty levels.

Yo ho ho and a bundle of joy

This game is absolutely charming. Simple to get into, great graphics, bug-free play -- colorful, funny, at times touching. Obviously, I love it, and if you're a fan of, say, The Count of Monte Cristo, I think you will too. Easy for kids but you can ratchet up the difficulty if you like -- I don't. So far.

Great Game

Fun, Fun, Fun, What a game !!!
Hours of entertainment, a few improvements could be added, but overall, the best PC game I have played in years !!
The game loads fast, plays well, great graphics, and the best part the game is always provides the player a different outcome.
I have also kept scores such as $$$ plundered per game, (= $816,878.00). Highest Ransom paid to me,($14,000.00)which was the city of Panama.
It is a game you and yours will enjoy individually or together.

This is not the typical smash and blast 'em game. Pirates requires some planning, coniving and deception... in other words, much like life. If only more of the women in real life were as lovely as the women in Pirates.

Pirates Dissapointing

I purchased Pirates after reading a few reviews and expected it to be an entertaining game. While the concept of the game is solid I found it to be very disappointing as a whole.
First of all, there is little possible customization within the game, as you can only choose from a set of ships and buy generic upgrades.
The character interaction is frustrating and quite boring as the voices can only say "blah" and "meh".
The controls are very hard without a number pad and I could not find any way to change them. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU SO NOT HAVE A NUMPAD. Dueling is nearly impossible on my laptop without a numpad.
I like the civilization series, but was disappointed byt Pirates. I would recommend saving your money to buy CIV 4 if you don't have it, and don't waste it on Pirates.

Fun & addictive

I loved this game. It's pretty simple as games go, but it's still lots of fun & very addictive. It's hard to quit because there's always one more thing left to do.

good time killer

If you are looking to kill 3 hours during the day it is very easy to get wrapped up in plundering the seas. Not overly difficult, but fun.
