  1. Gamezilla!
    92
    A well-realized, excellent, and more importantly, fun adventure title.
  2. GameZone
    79
    If you like action games, RPGs, and especially pirates with a completely open ended storyline, you should get this one and it will offer a lot of time and replayability.
  3. GameSpot
    76
    Offers a refreshing and entertaining experience that successfully evokes a sense of what it might have been like to live a life of danger and adventure on the high seas.
  4. FiringSquad
    59
    For all the attempts to make the world lively, the world map has shown what a dreadfully static place the archipelago is. AI ships float around randomly, making no attempt to even look like they’re even trying to run trade routes.
  5. Gamer's Pulse
    56
    The lackluster sword fighting, terrible interface, and nasty bugs detract from the experience a great deal. Excellent naval combat isn't enough to make up for these issues.
  6. GameCritics
    55
    The game's real mistakes were made at the design level, and that's a pity, because it contained the potential to be a much better experience than it ended up being.
  7. Computer Games Magazine

    If you're looking for the thrill of a pirate's life, frankly, you're better off with the Disney ride that inspired it all. [Oct 2003, p.88]
