    If you enjoy action games with a dash of strategy that are open ended, have a good amount of replay value, and offer you the chance to play as you wish, then you should definitely check it out.

    The battle graphics are plain vanilla and could have been much better without too much effort. PH also lacks the depth to call it a great game. Everything from trading to battles is straight-forward and streamlined. However, there are enough simple elements gathered together into the game that you can get hours of enjoyment out of it.

    The game lacks multiplayer which I think is really a shame; it would have been great to play with several friends and roam the Caribbean trying to sink each other.

The biggest drawback I see is that you can only have one (1) ship in combat no matter how many are in your fleet, and then you go against how ever many are in the other fleet. Personally I've gone 1 on 4, that add a touch of challenge, but also frustration in the fact that I had 6 or more ships in my fleet. All in all a good game with plenty of replay value.… Full Review »

Gold will recognize them in this game. The bad thing is that it this game is nothing new, just better graphics as in Pirates!Gold.
