    Pirates? Sure! Evil voodoo demon amulets? You bet! Fun? Hell no.

    Its odd, but the overall package the developers were trying to put together is here. Problem is, it isn't any good. Pirates: Legend of the Black Buccaneer works fundamentally as a game, it just isn't fun to play. At all.... Read Full Review

    This game is terrible.

    Pirates: Legend of the Black Buccaneer is a really bad game. I honestly didn't get it at all. You start off as a pirate stranded, but then that's it. There is almost no direction in the game. I barely got past the fi... Read Full Review
