First Look: Sid Meier's Pirates

First Look by Test Monkey | 05/19/2004 | 09:10:20 AM PST

Some live by the code of the sea, while others are just too easily enfeebled by motion sickness. Yaarrghh! It?s the return of Pirates!

Test your willpower and charisma as you discover what it takes to become a full-fledged swashbuckler.

In Pirates, and, conveniently, very much like a real pirate, you are free to do as you please, and the possibilities are virtually endless. Just remember: There?s no room in a pirate?s life for companionship. For a pirate, trust is very expensive and is never worth the risk.

Politics constantly shift in favor of a pirate?s demise, and even fellow pirates are out to steal from you. Nevertheless, ?tis the price you pay for your freedom, so on with you, lad.

You can navigate a fleet of ships through the open sea, parry-dodge-strike your way through countless sword fights, or ransack the town as you stealthily avoid guards. The world is yours for the taking, but be forewarned, everyone is out to get you.
