Pirates! is one of those rare games that can engage you for hours each day while never getting old. I would find myself always wanting just one more voyage, just one more ship to board, just a few more treasure hunts before calling it a night. The light-hearted and addictive gameplay number this title among the greats. Every gamer will find something to enjoy here, whether it be sneaking around a dark port trying to avoid the guards or falling in love with some wealthy beauty, or simply making yourself the number one pirate and defeating legends in the process. With selectable difficulty and vastly different eras, no two games will ever be the same. Mission variety is well done, from simply roaming about and doing what pleases you to escorting immigrants or new governors; in short, Pirates! was a pleasure to review. An instant classic!
