    A pirate's life should never be a solitary one, and the game works much better when played with a group of mates. [Issue #24, p.74]

    Pirates: Duels on the High Seas is not particularly a bad game, it is just one that does not stand out.

    It's a decent game that misses out on greatness due to a lack of thought in level design and a lack of variety in looks.

    I'd suggest avoiding this one, regardless of how low the price point may be, and you'd be better off spending your time on something else.

    Suddenly, it’s not nice any more. It’s a joke. £25 worth of bland. It’s like buying a surprise celebrity and getting home to discover it’s Dale Winton.

    Pirates: Duels on the High Seas feels more like a game for mobile phones that you can pick up for a fiver than a twenty quid DS game. It shows very little imagination and no new ideas, as though the developers have drawn themselves a very small box and made no attempt to think outside of it.

    Using the wind and terrain to your advantage, firing the cannons at the perfect time to launch the perfect assault; it could have been amazing. Disappointingly, with poor A.I, little replay value and poor use of the systems trademark features it’s turns out to be as entertaining as scurvy.
