Sid Meier's Pirates!

Not a bad game

I got this game at Wal-Mart for $10. So I was like..what the heck, I might as well try it. Anyway, it doesn't take too long to get use to all the controls. they are pretty basic. the graphics in this game look pretty good for a 2004 game.

You as a pirate go looking for treasure, then you dance with the ladies, fight other pirates, and other pirate stuff. I played this game for many hours in a row. I was still on my first pirate. Once I started getting older, it was getting harder to fight becuase of his age. I was the 1st top pirate and was plundering cities and everything. It gets repetitve for awhile, but it was a game that lasted me for a few weeks which I am glad. It was worth the money. In 2004 I think it would have been worth the money also.

Other then that, it's a good game if you want to entertain yourself for awhile before the next video game comes out!
