Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales

Summary

Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales
Pirates have been a staple in cross-genre games for years. They sailed the digital seas of titles such as Sea Dogs, Sid Meier's Pirates, and the Monkey Island series, to name a few. Yet all too often developers get caught up in recreating the mythos and don't pay enough attention to the actual gameplay; while the worlds and characters are portrayed in a genuine and authentic manner, it didn't always add up to an entertaining experience. At times, Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales strays dangerously close to the same troubled waters but ultimately manages to right the ship with some interesting design elements and tons of swashbuckling action.
