Sea Dogs 2 suffered from the Curse of Hollywood by naming itself Pirates of the Caribbean. It may have still been a stinker of a game, but sticking that name on it sealed the coffin lid. While it is a visually outstanding title, the poor gameplay mechanics and insane difficulty will turn off all but the most dedicated players (I will keep plugging at this bitch until I get back into Oxbay!). While I won’t let this game do me in, I will have to suggest to just about everyone else that you should stay far, far away from this. You will get nothing but frustration from this title. That treasure map to the hidden booty only offered up a box full of sand. At least I got a free movie ticket out of the deal, albeit a $50 one. I would have taken a simple graphical upgrade of the original Pirates! game over this.
