What should I do now?
You are a pirate, working fro one of four European nations. You must plunder the ships of the opposing nations and/or rescue your family. The game does not keep very good track of where you should be going (so keep track of convos on your own), You can find all sorts of buried treasure to keep your crew happy, or embark on other, more intricate, adventures.
After about 15 hours in the game I'm still a little lost. To this point I give the game 3/10 stars.
I hope to play enough to figure our how to romance a Governor's daughter (who doesn't want to do that?) , find lost members of my long-lost-to-servitude family, and do other things. It took me 10 hours just to figure out how to swordfight (though, granted, this is much easier with the instruction book).
Here's hoping it gets better....at least better enough to last 'til Kingdom Hearts is on PSP!!!!!!!!
