In Sid Meier’s Pirates!, a strategy/adventure game, players take the role of a Pirate Captain in the 17th century Caribbean - amassing fortune and fame in an attempt to seize a rightful place as one of the most revered and feared pirates in history. Players test their skills as a sea captain exploring the high seas and dueling in land and sea battles in a richly detailed 3D world. Additional features for the PSP system include wireless Ad-Hoc multiplayer for up to four players, widescreen graphics, new treasure hunts and more.
Sid Meiers Pirates. A game that originally made its first appearance on the Commodor 64 in 1987 and was well received to the point of being on the top ten of any gamers list at the time. The game then received an update in 1987 for the PC and later for the Xbox and was praised by both those who played the original and those who were new to the game. Now, Sid Meier has once again presented the life of a scurvy pirate for yet another system, the PSP. So we are left with one question…is the game the buried treasure gamers have hoped for or should it walk the plank?
The graphics set an overall light-hearted appearance with very colorful atmospheres and characters. Also, the game ensures its E-10 ESRB rating by haveing non-lethal moments (if you win a duel the opponent falls off the ship,gets iknocked out by the barmaid, or a vase falls on him).
when you are sailing in the open seas the only sound you will get is a “ding” everytime a month passes by so the sound rarely does anything to get the gamer deeper into the experience.
The control of the ships is spot on (though I feel they move too slow,but thats no fault of the controls) and the rest of the game is a set of minigames. The duels are simplistic enough for a handheld but challenging enough to keep your intrest (at higher difficulties that is). The dancing minigame, thoughstill more based on reflex than rhythm, is improved over both the Xbox and PC versions due to the addition of the button prompt instead of forcing gamers to pay attention to the damsel’s hand gestures.
The game begins with your family owing a ruthless duke mony and celebrating the fac that they have a ship with the goods needed that should dock the next day. But things change when the duke arrives at the house enslaving your family to pay the debt. But you escape and years later your quest begins. Now, you can go to soley beat the main story quest, or you can do a variety of other things and ignore the plot all together. There are notorious pirates to defeat,treasure to find,ships and towns to pillage and plunder,governers daughters to romance, social ladders to rise up in, and much more. This game is presented through a set of mini-games tied together to a bigger picture, and it stands as well with its mix of simplicity with its deceptively deep and involved gameplay. Another aspect worth noting is the aging factor. Over time you age and your skills slowly diminish till eventually have to retire (which is around 40-60) and you will be judged based upon the the things you did in the past and given a post-pirating career that ranges from pick pocket to governor.
This is definetely not a game to miss if you have a PSP. The game comes SHARED HERE which used to be FREE DOWNLOAD in a PSPBOT.COM and heavy replay value due to the free form nature of the game making it a definite smart choice.
Sid Meiers Pirates game is very fun, and for A FREE DOWNLOAD you can’t really go wrong. If you are a fan of the Pirates movies, I am sure that you will like this game. So “YEAH It’s a pirate’s life for me!
