I was hooked on Pirates Gold when it came out for the PC 10 years ago. But funnily enough Pirates of the Caribbean is a replica on that original but with added 3d graphics. Its had me hooked for days I strongly recommend to try this game.Full Review.In Pirates of the Caribbean, it's the 17th century, and you're Nathaniel Hawk, a sharp-witted captain of his own modest ship. He's trying to make ends meet in the Caribbean, a collection of small islands ruled over by European nations including the English, the French, the Spanish, the Dutch, and more. The Caribbean archipelago is home to some good weather and plenty of lucrative natural resources, which have made it an obvious draw for the world's powers,as well as the perfect place for pirates and privateers to set up shop. The game's story begins when the French make a play for an English colony, and Hawk barely escapes with his life. He ends up helping put the French back in their place and then becomes embroiled in a greater plot, which even has some supernatural overtones. The presence of some undead pirates is apparently what ties this game in with its namesakes, but other than the occasional encounters with the living dead, you'll find that Pirates of the Caribbean pretty much plays it straight.Pirates consists of a number of different gameplay elements. You navigate between islands by controlling a tiny little ship as it crawls across a map of the Caribbean. You'll see numerous other vessels materialize as you sail across the waters, some of which may attack you, and any of which you may choose to attack yourself. Sometimes you'll see ships already engaged in battle and may crash the party if it pleases you. You might also run headlong into a storm. Whenever these types of events occur, the game switches to a third-person perspective of your ship, which you can then manually control by raising and furling the sails, trying to catch a good tailwind, arming and firing your cannons, and even boarding nearby enemy vessels. An optional first-person view lets you manually aim your weapons, though the third-person view is usually preferable. You can also moor at the numerous island ports or other dry-land locations of interest.Once you've docked or boarded an enemy vessel (or been boarded yourself), Pirates of the Caribbean becomes a third-person action adventure game of sorts, as you'll be controlling Hawk directly and can engage in some basic combat using your saber and slow-loading pistol. Boarding is roughly the same every time--in larger ships you'll go through several stages of combat, but Hawk can always take a cheap shot against his foes when the action first begins. When in town, Hawk can mill about and speak with the locals, and visit key locations including the tavern, the shop, the shipyard, and the town hall. A first-person perspective is optionally available here as well, and though the on-foot regions are relatively small, they're carefully detailed and make a good contrast to the boundless stretches of ocean that you'll see while sailing.The main storyline has Hawk scurrying from island to island for various reasons, which is a great opportunity to engage in the game's trade system. You have access to a trade book that shows you which goods are imported from and which goods are exported to each island, and you can proceed to buy low and sell high. The bigger the ship you have (or the more ships you have in your fleet), the more stuff you can lug and the more profit you can earn. The commerce model in Pirates of the Caribbean is simple and static, there's constant demand for the same goods at each location, and you can easily and instantly dump off all your goods at the general store of each island, making the trade portion of the game seem unique.

When I first picked up this game a few years back, I was very impressed with the graphics as well as the gameplay. Though the game does suffer from some framerate issues, the graphics are plush, colourful, and really do well portraying the carribean setting.The story is engaging and supported well with side missions involving assassination, trading, escorting merchants and (of course) piracy. The gameplay is mostly enjoyable but running around the jungles of the various islands looking for secret treasure can get a little boring after a while.The real fun is to be had on the high seas! The player can choose to ignore the story completely if they so wish,

Pirates really seem to be the lastest thing right now, and with the release of the film, surprise surprise, here comes the game.But seriously, this game is very very good. I usually hate these sorts of games, I find them fiddly and difficult to control. To start with, the controls for the game are odd, but are easy to get used to. I do say though, make full use of the training at the beginning of the game, because you're on your own after that.You start off in the little town of Oxbay, a peaceful English held island. Once you've done your trading and got yourself a crew (from the local inn), you leave the island, which is almost immediately taken by the French. Your task really, is to island hop,

Its beautiful, he says staring across the ocean into the sunset from thedeck of his Massive Battleship. This game is one of the most graphicallysuperior games I have every played. You only need to start sailing aroundat daybreak to confirm this. You play as Nathanial Hawk, a Merchant/Pirateguy who is pretty handy with boats, pistols and swords. He very much likeshis treasure too. The game essentially consists of 2 main elements: A)Walking around on land, in order to get yourself a bit of Gold.B)Sailing around on the Ocean attacking whoever incurs your displeasure.You can choose from a variety of ships to commmand, in first and thirdperson mode, varying from the small little Xebec to the Insanely largeManowar.

The down sides of this game are: a slightly clumsy control system; a camera system that often has you looking in the wrong direction; graphics that are not always the smoothest. The upsides are: fantastic visuals at sea; great sea battles;a rich and deep playing environment. The challenge: this is a really hard game... you die and/or sink over and over again... but if you put the time in... it starts to happen to the other guy/gal.. great!!

The condition of the product is outstanding for how old the game is, not a smudge on the disk or dent to the case, perfect condition honestly, sadly I am unable to play this game due to it wasnt made to work with the xbox one or the xbox 360 so you will require an xbox original to play this. If you have o e highly recommend this game and the seller.

I think the game is a class game that really streches your skill at becoming rich quickly. only problem is that the game glitches a few times but that could be to do with my xbox being old, very old. Very good quality and quickly posted too.
