Pirates of the Caribbean

"Even with its deficiencies, this is still a quality game, especially if you love pirates as I do; it is just sad that this did not turn into the gem it could have."

"It's novel at best, frustrating at worse."

"The real potential of this title is so readily apparent beneath the surface, it’s easy to forgive anyone who overlooks the flaws and argues that PotC is a good game. In the end, however, the pirate-game-turned-micro-economic-sim Port Royale makes a convincing argument to relegate Pirates of the Caribbean to a bargain bin."

"Once you're past the technical hurdles (and the brutal realization of just how easy it is to die in a swordfight or sea battle), Pirates of the Caribbean is an absolutely beautiful looking, freeform RPG adventure. But it is really suited for experienced, patient gamers rather than casual ones."

"With its updated graphics, improved combat system, and leaner mission structure, it's evident that Sea Dogs II is aiming to be a better successor to the original game."
