Where Pirates of the Caribbean really takes off is on the treacherous oceans. Never before have I seen a weather system react and look so good. The ocean is simply dazzling, and the skies are incredibly realistic day and night. If you happen to encounter one of the several storms in the game, bring your Dramamine, because it’s a topsy-turvy world that publishers Bethesda Softworks and Akella have produced. Along with high winds that damage your sails in real-time, twisting tornados will suck away crewmen, and lighting that splinters ship hulls, the enormous rocking waves are very challenging to contend with.
