Video Game Reviews of Sid Meier's Pirates! Live the Life
Customer Review: Plunder that Booty!
Summary: 4 Stars
Pirates translates well into the portable realm. I'd never played it before owning this version but i was pleasantly surprised with it. Its basically just a collection of mini games bundled into one. I like the bright sunny carribean graphics and old timey pirate soundtracks. Pirates is very fun to play for the first couple of hours then you realize you have done everything there is to do and you just repeat the mini games as the fun starts to taper off. Its a good game though, a classic that has withstood the test of time. Some mini games are more enjoyable than others. The ship to ship combat is simple yet entertaining, the ships have little damage effects to the sails and hull. Colliding with another ship starts a close combat battle with the enemy captain using one of 3 different swords. Swordplay is very simple, basically just hit the attack button over and over and you will be victorious everytime. Victory gives you the option to sink the ship or take it into your fleet. Ships are upgradeable at any of the ports. There are a few different forms of cargo you can purchase and sell at other ports if trading is your thing. You can hunt down famous pirates and plunder their booty, look for treasure, discovery lost incan temples and so forth. Like i said, there is much to do but after you do it a few times it will eventually get old. Even though there is so much to do, i feel they could have given the game more depth. Live the life and see what you think.
