It was hard enough to put the game down long enough to write this review, if that tells you anything. Pirates might lack graphical “oomph,” but it’s fun.
-
The kind of product Westwood is largely known for--complete, compelling, full of great little touches, and just generally elegant (which is a funny thing to say about a game of pirates, pillage and plunder, but so be it).
-
Has all the makings of the great sleeper hit of 2002.
-
Pirates' great mix of excellent control, superb presentation, fun third-person action, and ship combat make it far more interesting than most of the third-person adventures hitting next gen systems.
-
I recommend Pirates for those that are looking for something more than a straightforward hack and slash game – something a little more engaging.
-
Offers a freewheeling world, fuzzy-but-attractive graphics, overall elegant production values and a main character you can root for, making it one of the best things to happen to the pirate genre in a long time.
-
Pirates is an excellent game in one regard; it allows you a great deal of freedom to explore and to complete the game at your own pace.
-
Even if a pirate tale doesn’t shiver your timbers, the Lara Croft–like design of Kat will surely raise your mast.
-
Though it isn't totally remarkable from a technical standpoint, Pirates is an endearing and well-thought-out game.
