Brilliant atmosphere. A must-have title.

This game belongs to the list of the classics for my playing list. It is an excellent economic simulation of the pirate era at the carribean sea. Though it lacks the depth of graphics superb Sid Meier's Pirates! has and the campaign and surprize that the latter gives it can hook you to your screen for hours. It is not as difficult as presented for someone to get the basics but the logic mechanism of the trade is rather easy and as for the action part i.e. battling pirates, anyone accustomed with other pirate games can easily survive.
As for the newcomer to this world of sales and sails those tutorial missions can start one up quickly to begin enjoying the game. It will consume one's happy hours of trading from Margarita to San Juan and will only get to the shore when one is worn out. It might not be the most exciting thing for one to play a trader or a pirate or both at an arcade like environment but when you start playing you will be gripped to it with out explanation. And thats what games should be ,not fancy graphics (though those help most of the time) but the player should get the essence and the feeling of the environment the game has. You won't believe how much fun is to try to be a Carribean tycoon during 1600 until you play it for yourself.
Sound ,and especially music, is awesome and as described from gamespot's
reviewer it really can make you hum - it worked with me. Port Royale 2 has excellent playability degree. I occasionaly return to it from 2005 up to now.

For anyone who want's to sail to the Carribes this game is for you.
