 Fun & addictive January 11, 2008
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.
Pirates still fun after all these years. October 10, 2007

I had recently purchased a poor substitute from Atari a few months back, thinking it was the updated version of Sid Meier's classic game I used to play on the Sega or Commodore 64 as a kid. It soon became obvious that I had been saddled with a plastic paper weight. But it drove me to look a little harder for an updated version of Pirates!
Much to my surprise and delight Sid had indeed upgraded the game to a more modern version compatiable on the latest computers and operating systems. Like the original version which captivated my friends and I for hours at a time, this game delivers all the fun and excitement as the original with all the expected aspects of multiple game play from trader to diplomat to plunderer. The graphics are great, and the ease of play is fantastic. I would give this game a perfect rating but have only two misgivings, the dancing and swordplay interaction seem difficult and cumbersome on a numeric keypad.
However, if you are a better sailor and don't care for Governor's daughters anyway, than you may not have any problems at all, just a treasure chest of fun!! Live the Life!!!

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.
Swashbuckling fun September 10, 2007

As a diehard Civ fan, I picked up this game not sure what to expect--and was blown away. It is fun, addictive, and much more lighthearted than some of the Civ-class games. One of my favorite things about this game is the way it combines multiple activities within the gameplay: Sailing, dancing, sword fighting, treasure-hunting, and capturing cities all in one game! The graphics are cartoonish but quite pretty. Some of the details of the world (treasure locations, plot timing) vary from one playing of the game to the next, which improves replay value, as does the ability to focus on those parts of the game that you find most enjoyable. However, even with these benefits, I found the game much less fun after a few thorough playings, and now return to it only sporadically. The ability to adjust the difficulty level was also a nice feature, though I found myself wishing to adjust difficulty for the different activities separately--at higher levels, I found most of the game quite reasonable but the dancing very challenging. Overall, this is a very good game, though not, in my opinion, a great game on the order of Civilization IV. Pirates is a lot of fun, and I would definitely recommend it as a light adventure for anyone in a swashbuckling mood.
Very addictive!! August 15, 2007

This game is so fun to play! The only thing I didn't like about it was when I was forced to retire. The only real problem with it is like other reviewers have stated; you start to play it and before you know it half the day has passed and you tell yourself you are going to do just one more thing.. ahh! But if you want a game that's fun and has really good replay value this is it!
