When I saw this had quietly come out to retail stores I was curious as to how well it was made and I am shocked to tell you its a Blast!you are a pirate and you start with a small ship in the home port of your choice *pirate, dutch, french, english, or spanish* then it begins.you get quests via the tavern and also the governor AND if you are suave like me heh heh The Governers Daughter has Nifty items AND Invaluable info on hidden cities, buried treasure, and even dreaded pirates themselves!but you must dance via a mini game sequence with timed directional presses determine if you have danced horribly or if you gained the eye of the lady! after the info gathering you repair the ships (up to 6)upgrade them and hire crew and buy supplies.trade goods are in this game as well, but seem to feel like an afterthought since I never needed to trade any goods, spices or sugar. but still a nice touch.you are fully capable of defeating the game without taking many missions at all. with a BIG exception:Your Family! thats right they have been taken and you have to rescue them requiring you to complete many of the quests and do some things that might seem unsavory after you just befrended the governor of tortuga and now you must bring in the natives or pirates to sack the city*this is a really fun part*attacking cities requires little more then a few small boats of pirates or natives and head to the town and Begin Firing cannons! then enter port and decide if you want to sneak in via a stealth mode mini game or outright fight to the last man!this game lets you also sink friends via adhoc wireless multiplayer modes ctf kill etc. its not any one feature in this game that shines but combine them all to get the BEST PIRATE EXPERIENCE I have had the pleasure of playing on a console system.the sailing aspects will remind many gamers of tradewinds 2 raising and lowering sails taking damage as you sail or worse having the crew mutiny! the difficulty setting really ramps up enemy A.I. and also makes the game quite a bit more difficult.to those that thought all this sounds easy, it's because it was Easy Mode! glorious fun to be had here folks!the satisfaction of having made it past lions guarding a buried treasure you want without losing a man *versus the last time where your whole party was eaten and You Ran!*Graphics: 4 star not god of war here but this game does not require that high res level of top end graphics for ship battles minor swordfights and the like.Sound: 4 star lost a point for the weird grunts most people make while talking to them. its minor but, I know how some of my friends are and noises effect everyone different so there ya go. thought you should know. otherwise all the sounds are very good and perfect for Pirates!Overall: as I previously stated, This game is Brilliant when all mixed together and has all the fun elements without the tedium that usually comes with these kind of games I'd recommend this to anyone into pirates, real time strategy, or just sailing sims *light simulation though* it's simply the best pirate console game and I have played both Potc black pearl and at worlds end (ps2) also black buccaneer (ps2 se my review) and Pirates: Legend of black kat (my Favorite on PS2) is easily beaten by Sid Meier's Pirates!5 Stars Overall!buy it now by clicking the link below.

Sid Meier's Pirates! is an open-ended, role playing, character adventure set in the late 17th century Caribbean that is essentially a collection of several different minigames.As captain of your own ship with a personal agenda to recover and avenge your loved ones, you sail to various Caribbean ports or engage other vessels on the high seas. A variety of career paths are possible: Buy low and sell high as a reputable merchant, privateer for profit for a fledgling European empire, or become the scourge of the Caribbean who victimizes anyone who crosses your path.Your adventures play out in a series of minigames: ship battles on the high seas, wooing the governor's daughter on the ball room,and crossing swords with a rival captain or suitor. The minigames are charming but fairly simple and easily mastered. As your adventure progresses, the mini-challenges do not become more complex; rather, your reflexes diminish as your character ages.Despite the monotony that results from the minigames repetitivity, the rewarding storyline will coax you into capturing one more ship, sailing to one more port, or wooing one last lass in order to acquire another tidbit of information needed to avenge your family.I've played the game a couple times (there is a learning curve on how to complete tasks efficiently, before your character's age becomes too much of an impediment), but have not yet achieved its ultimate goal of revenge. As such I cannot comment upon its ultimate payoff, but the game is entertaining enough overall that I am sure I will give it another go.

Pirates! is the type of game that starts out very challenging but can quickly turn monotonous if you aren't patient. There are a ton of different ways to play this game, trader, loyalist, or Pirate as the title suggests. I've played the game for a month straight and I'm still happy discovering different paths to finish the quests. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys time consuming games with a bit of strategy worked in!

Fun game. I played it non stop for a month or two. Plus, it has different settings and the game play changes depending on which setting you play so you get a slightly different experience each time you play a differnt setting.

This game is extremely engaging and easy to get lost in. There is so much to do, with all of the mini missions, while also following the main story line. I recommend this game to anyone who owns a PSP.

After so many installments of Civilization, I really wish the Sid Meier's franchise would make more versions of Pirates. It holds up in entertainment value even a decade or more later.

I expected the game to be at my house 2-3 weeks after I ordered it... It took about 5-7 days. I got it and started playing it, and I'm hooked. Excellent replay value too.

I remembered playing this game years ago on my old cable company's "Sega Channel" so I just had to pick it up for the PSP.It is hard for me to put it down, I love it.

Great fun. The kind of game where I don't mind whether I complete it or not because pillaging is so much fun.
