More of the same with a few bright spots. There will be good times, as well as frustrating ones - but with a street price of $17.99, it's not at all bad.

Adequate in most areas, but beneath the cel-shaded exterior, there could have been more substance to make the title really stand out.

Nothing more than an uninspiring title that excels in a few areas and is completely dysfunctional elsewhere across the board.

Geared more towards the casual player, and the game’s simple interface and play mechanics reflect that.

Personally, I would have liked to have seen a little bit more attention given to the RPG aspect and more depth to the RTS elements of the game.

Even those who love the gore and carnage, I suspect that the novelty would soon wear off.

If NWN disappointed you, you'll get, repeat after me: "more of the same." Module designers will probably appreciate the fixes and tweaks to the toolset, which can only benefit everyone in the end.

Port Royale’s concept itself is rather flawed. I really can’t see a relatively uneducated pirate creating an empire, since most historical pirates were brutish men who had short, violent careers that ended either hanging from the yardarm or lunch for the squid.

Though I loved the graphics, the vastness of space, the controls /interface and most of all, the diversity in the different systems, I didn’t care for the non-dynamic nature of the missions and lack of scripting for the characters that you run into.

The great retro sci-fi setting and creative twist in unit creation just can’t make up for cumbersome gameplay and poor unit control.
