A Great Classic Game

This game uses a good mix of the historical and the mythical to bring to life a time and place where Pirates abound. The progress of the game is entirely up to you. You can sail anywhere in the Caribbean fighting, saving, looting, or romancing whomever you wish, and it never seems to get old.

The sound really puts you at the helm, with creaking masts, fluttering sails, waves crashing, storms thundering, cannons pounding, piles of treasure clinking, and roars of laughter at the tavern. I happen to like the musical dancing scenes, as I am a fan of classical music.

The graphics are not special; after all, the game is mostly at sea and so you are looking at a few ships in a great expanse of water; but for what it is it does well. The only thing I wish for is more diversity in cut scenes and such; after a while they are a tad repetitive, although it does not take away from the quality of the game.

This reminds me of how games used to be: a theme that captures the imagination, simple to play, hard to put down, an expansive world to explore, and unlimited playing options.
