    A very addictive game, you can easy spend dozens of hours playing it

    Quite complex when you read the manual but fairly simple when you start playing it. The number of actions you have at your disposal is limited, thus the game might seem a little repetitive. However, the Caribbean univers... Read Full Review

    It's a really fun game but perhaps not as good on the PSP.

    Sid Meier's pirates is a very good game. The PSP version gets lots of the good stuff from the PC version but perhaps not all of them. You are a pirate at the Caribbean, you'll have to fight merchants and other pirates to... Read Full Review

    Prepare to get engaged in the Caribbean!

    Well... I have to say that I've played the PC and XBox version of this game... and the PSP version is by far the most compelling one. I get my copy last night and found myself playing until 3 in the morning... Pirates ha... Read Full Review

    Action packed game, amazing history and more than you expect

    3 years after "Sid Meier's Pirates" was released I bought it 2 weeks ago, and I admit it's a great action game and maybe the best pirate game ever made. My first thought about it was: "well, every step I take, will comp... Read Full Review
