User Rating: 5.5 | Pirates of the Caribbean PC

Yes the game looks pretty, and the ambient sounds while exploring the island, or on the deck of your ship sound nice, but graphics, and sails slapping in the wind don't make a great game.

It's poorly written, with TERRIBLE voices, and the inane chatter gets very repetitious before too long.

Everything about this game is slow: The sword fighting and traveling on foot on islands (even when running) are painfully s-l-o-o-o-o-w!

Once you've managed to capture a couple of galleons, or battleships the sea battles are a cakewalk.

And finally, the later missions consist nearly entirely of "Deliver this" and "Fetch that" runs. If I wanted to make "delivery runs" I'd play Pizza Dude, or one of the many taxi driving games.

BORING!

I STILL can't believe that this is the highest-rated pirate game on GameSpot.

  I want to make clear that this is essentially Sea Dog's 2 and has little or nothing to do with the movie Priates of the Caribbean. However, if you want a down to earth, well rounded, ship/land based naval game set in the... Read Full Review
