If you are ready to set sail on your own Pirate adventure, than this is a good PC game. Although the title is exactly the same as the Disney feature film ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, this PC game is actually a different Pirate themed story and adventure. In this game, the main character is Captain Nathaniel Hawke, and the main action involves exploring a group of small Caribbean islands, buying goods to trade, defending yourself against other pirates in both man to man combat and battling enemy ships out on the open sea, and maintain relations with the European crown nations that are vying for control over the islands. There are even some encounters with “undead” pirates. The visual quality of the graphics and 3 dimensional environments are very striking with life like changes in weather, dramatic storms at sea, and the battles with other ships are very spectacular. There are some sequences that are not as smooth, though, and the use of the controls can be awkward at times. For example, when boarding an enemy ship, a “Boarding” message appears on the screen, and conversations with other characters you meet are presented in text displayed on the screen. Some players of this game have also found that the trips around to the various islands are too similar, and the transporting and selling of goods for trade is simplistic. Overall though, it is a fun and open ended role playing game, with interesting action on both land and sea with beautiful graphics and a Pirate themed environment. There are choices and challenges including weapons you acquire, ships and crew members that you command, different ports to trade, and various side quests which allow a player to advance to different levels.Read full review
FOR THE YEAR IT WAS A VERY GOOD GAME
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The game feels like trying to drive a car with your feet. The control feels so unnatural and disconnected. It seems so detailed and seems like it could be a good game to get into if you could ever master the controls.
This is nearly an exact remake of Pirates for Windows but with 3d graphics. A vast world to walk through with nothing to do. Sea battles are dull. Save your money and avoid this one.
I like RPG's and the game is an RPG. I have this game for my xbox but it broke so i tried it on my xbox 360 and it didn't work so i decided to buy it for my computer.
