Sid Meier's Pirates! certainly has the adventurous and risk-taking spirit of a true buccaneer.

Boring after a few hours
I really wanted to like this game, I've been in the mood for a good pirate game, this isnt it though. It looks nice and sounds good but the gameplay is very shallow, and unrewarding. The mini games, fencing and dan... Read Full Review

Easy to learn, swashbuckling fun
I played one of the originals for the NES back in the day. For the simplicity of the game, it was quite fun. I can still recall many of the historical cities in the Mediterranean thanks to this game. Playing the gam... Read Full Review

All I can say is WOW!
It's been so long since I played a game as entertaining and as immersive as 'Sid Meier's Pirates!'. There is no shortage of things to do in the game and the characters are just what you expect on a game based on pirates.... Read Full Review

Good ideas, poor results.
At first the game seems to be a refreshingly huge and open world waiting to be explored, but after a while you might start to think you are doing the same over and over again. And you are. Every city is entirely boring. ... Read Full Review
