Sid Meier's Pirates! Reviews
If you like the PC version you may want to change over to this version for sheer ease-of-use. Oh yes. Have fun. I don't play it every day. Is it still worth playing today. Give it a try and hopefully the game will do the same for you. But when I do start playing, I get hooked deep until I beat the game again and hopefully best my high score once again (the real replay value comes from trying to end the game with a super-high score). It just feels more pick-up-and-play on the Xbox, the controls work beautifully (I vastly prefer pressing buttons to hitting number keys on a keyboard), and with the high-resolution rendering on the 360 the game looks wonderful.
First of all, I like the console version better than the PC version. So a little time has passed and now not only can you run the X-box version of this game on the 360, but you can download it from X-box Live. When I do play it I stop when I beat it and leave it alone for a while. You can't skip the intro movie on the 360 for some reason. If you've never played the game before you ought to give it a try just to find out how a series of minigames can make for a full-blown game, and why Sid Meyer's games are as popular as they are. In fact, I only have one complaint.
But it just doesn't matter, because the world the game creates is so much fun to play around in, and the freedom to move among the various activities available (ship battles, sword fights, land battles, dancing minigame) is complete. The Xbox port is great and controls very nicely. It definitely has that "just five more minutes" quality that Sid Meier seems to achieve so regularly. Works well on the Xbox 360 as well. This game does have some faults the gameplay is shamelessly repetitive at points. Just make sure to update the game through the in-game interface (not just through Xbox 360) as you'll get extra content that way and be able to upload your scores to Xbox Live.
You can play it different every time. I think this game is endless. Yes I said years, my son and I have gotten countless amounts of hours and enjoyment from this game. This is one of the few games that I have consistently played over the years. I highly recommend it.
great game, but there is a glich where your ship can run aground (really it just gets stuck) in map mode and you cannot get it back in the water. Fun if you can avoid this.
Fun and interesting, easy to pick up and play, good graphics and variety of play styles. This is one of the most addicting video games I've ever played. If they were to make on online pirate game, consult Sid Meier's Pirates.
