Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this game mostly because it seemed somewhat similar to one of my favorite classic games from SSI for 8-bit 6502 based computers: Broadsides. The similarity between the two games ends with the sea battles between sailing warships. "Pirates" is definitely a faster paced action game with two distinct categories of action: on land and on the sea. The land portion is a rather typical 3rd person hack/slash jumper type fighting game featuring different land enemies with the occasional boss thrown in. The land portion involves searching for loot and navigation components in the form of treasure chests. A fairly simple puzzle type problem keeps you guessing a bit with chests hidden in difficult to access areas or buried. In the case of buried chests, an interesting use of the controller vibrator is used to indicate how close you are to the secret spot. I personally like the sea fighting portion much more. This portion features gorgous 3D graphics with lots of detail in the ships (yours and enemy), and the surrounding environment. In the water with you are schools of fish which you can see swimming just under the surface, dolphins jumping, sea gulls flying, etc. You can also make out much of the detail on enemy ships, as well as features on land. In the water, you fight against different enemy ships and land based fortresses. It's very satisfying to be able to upgrade your ship and install more cannons for truely great broadside shots! In all, I'm happy with this game. My only complaints: all enemies pretty much respawn automatically & predictably. They're not especially intelligent either. The character control in the land portion isn't perfect. Sometimes, the games "walks" the character instead of performing a "run" with the left analog stick pushed to diagonal limits.
