5.0 out of 5 stars A proper swashbuckling adventure , 9 April 2007
By M. Cartwright "One angry dwarf fan" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This is a very good adventure game. There are lots of possible paths that you can take. You could be a merchant, a law abiding lord but best of all you can be a pirate. You could spend you time looking for lost cities, finding treasure, fighting other famous pirates etc, or almost anything else that you could think of. There is also a very large sailing element that appealed to me in particular. However, as the previous reviewer said the game can get a bit repetitive. Another problem is that after a certain amount of playing time you character just dies of old age. This usually comes at an inopportune moment! Despite this there is still a large amount of replay time in this game. Think of it as an open ended adventure like GTA but without the mindless violence and irritating missions. This game is also very good to play for short bursts of time, making it the perfect PSP title.

Buy this game!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun for a while but lacks variety, 31 May 2007
By YaromCMG (Milton Keynes) - See all my reviews
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
When I first bought this game, I couldn't put it down and I eagerly set about all the activities mentioned by the other reviewers. I eventually finished the campaign with quite a high rating.

However, when I started the next campaign under a different country it seemed almost identical. It seems to make almost no difference which country you adopt. In addition, after a while, all the actions. locations and characters begin to become repetitive after a while.

So in summary, it is good fun for some time. But for me it lacks the variety to be entertaining in the long term.

5.0 out of 5 stars One for all the land-lubbers!, 19 April 2007
By Andy Raab (Shropshire, England) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I had this on my X-Box, and spend hours, days (maybe weeks and months) sailing about raiding ships and cities, duelling captains, and creating general pirate mayhem. The PSP does not fail to provide the same enjoyment. Even richer looking sea and crisper ships serve to give me power to say that it is possibly even better than X-Box made it look. The game is described elsewhere, but for those reading the less positive reviews, just think --- Sailing around the caribbean in your carefully raided and stolen ship whilst sat in the bus/train/car/lounge/office yelling "Yarr", "Me Hearties", "Walk The Plank" and other such Piratic flavoured remarks.............Fantastic!

A fresh take on open world games like GTA etc (That, by no means was a comparison between the two BTW), a real recommend is given here.
