Simple, fun, addictive pirating fun
By R. Faulk
I would say that the title of this review pretty much sums the game up!
Storyline: Basically you are the son of a rich family, who is wronged and loses its wealth. The rest of your family is kidnapped, but you escape. Then 10 years later, you set out to avenge and rescue your family. Very simple story.
Gameplay: When you start out the game you have one ship (which you get to customize). The basic gameplay formula is that you are a pirate, searching for his family, attacking ships, and stopping at ports. During most of the game you will be sailing around in your ship, which is surprisingly fun and addicting. When you decide to attack a ship, you go into an on-seas battle between you and the other ship. If you decide to ram into the other ship, which I recommend that you do, you jump aboard the enemy ship and start a swordfighting sequence in which you must hack, slash, jump, and dodge, at your opponent (there is no blood involved, hence the E10 rating). Upon victory you can decide whether you want to sink and loot the ship, or add it to your fleet. Often times if you decide to sink the ship, many sailors from that ship ask you to let them join your crew. Other than this main gameplay setting, you can do minigames ranging from bombing cities, to dancing and trying to win the heart of fair maidens (either my character is a terrible dancer, or is just plain ugly because I haven’t succeeded in this yet!). Although this basic gameplay formula may sound simplistic, trust me time, flies when you are playing this game, and you will spend hours on it.
Graphics: Good graphics. They may not be quite as polished as some first party nintendo games such as Mario Galaxy 2 or Metroid Other M, but they are not going to disappoint anyone either.
Bottom Line: Great game, good graphics, fun story. I got it the day after it came out, and have played it for hours without being bored of it at all. I would recommend it to any pirate fan, or anyone who wants an awesome game. If you just want a pirate game for the wii, trust me, this is the one to get (don’t waste your money on any other games such as Pirates: Hunt For Blackbeard’s Booty)
HAPPY GAMING, AND GO NINTENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 Player is LAME
By T. Michaels
I LOVE this game and have had it for years for my PC. It is a blast and totally worth playing. However, I just bought it for my Wii because it is supposed to be 2 player in the Wii version. It’s really NOT. Yes, a second player can kind of play, but the second player can only tilt the sails while the 1st player is playing, fly at the opponent occasionally as a parrot during fencing battles (the parrot doesn’t generate more than the opponent swiping at it with his hand–so pointless), and push buttons to “be a musician” while the 1st player is dancing–also very lame and pointless as it has no bearing whatsoever to the game.

So, I’d say definitely buy this game, but plan on it being a single-player game.

True to the original DOS game from many years ago!
By D. Rutledge
The game has much of the joy from the original pirates game… what lost a * for it was the idiotic dancing to impress the Gov’s daughter. Seriously, they could have done much better, and it is way to PC. I seem to remember also that you could do more in the old version. The fighting sequences are somewhat canned. But the gist of the game is great, and the sailing can be as frustrating as the real thing.

One irritant in both versions is if you don’t split the spoils within a year, your crew mutinies and sails off with your other ships and goods. When you are trying to find your family, this is annoying!!!
