5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Pirating Experience, March 17, 2009

By	Michael J. Mason "astro_mike" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

The graphics are sharp and crisp, and the cinema displays are entertaining. I can't give it a full 5 stars cause of the lack of sound (voice/talking). The characters just speak in a mumbling type jargon, and dont use actual words. The game it's self though has ALOT of depth! Its full of goals, jobs, and hidden items. It keeps track of your pirating career with GREAT detail! You can even attack a town and capture it. My favorite part is the sea battles! Going head to head with an enemy ship, and blowing them away is awesome!! I highly recommend this game to ANYONE, who likes roleplaying, adventure type games. Good times.
