Sid Meier's Pirates! for Xbox Reviews by Gamers

I loved this game, it's a game I would buy, but only if it was 10 bucks, because I would like to have done more with it. I got bored after playing a full life-time in the game, it's quite easy to get the hang of, but even when you think you might have it, there's a little more you can do, for example, when you dance with the governor's daughters, instead of just pushing the button it tells you to push, once. You can spin and twirl and whatever when you push the button to the beat. Sword fighting, also has its special moves, double hits and special dodge moves, interactions with buckets on deck, and cane looking things that you throw, this game has been done very well, sailing, it felt like I was actually there, I liked option of birds eye or the behind the ship view, it was a nice touch. pillaging towns was cool, BUT there was only a select few you could attack, the main ports, you couldn't make one of them your hide out, or make them YOUR towns, they had to be in allegiance to one of the main nationalities, spain, dutch, english, or french, no PIRATE TOWN UNDER YOUR RULE option, which would have been nice. Finding buried treasure, searching ancient ruins for a SHLOAD of gold, finding maps(or peices of them), all of the items you can aquire, and the different levels of each, gaining ranks from the different nations, escort missions, immigrants and peace treaties. Breaking out of jail, sneaking into town, knocking out guards that get in your way. Crew and their morale, or the lack there of, they'll even steal your ships, when its been too long before you've divied up the plunder, trading, HMMM, there is so much to do in this game, if you haven't played this game, you probably should, it's a TERRIFIC game, it even has a multiplayer option for four player ship battling, It would have been cool if you could co-op in the actual game controlling different ships, but I guess that wasn't thought of, all well, PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
