Advantages: Playable, enjoyable and fun

Disadvantages: A little bit repeatative

Ever since I first saw The Princess Bride I was fascinated with all things swashbuckling.

Pirates! is a really fun game, and very slightly addictive.

The story is as a young boy, an Evil Pirate called Marquis Montalban kidnaps your family, and the your wealth. You escape and swear to avenge your family.

10 years later you choose passage to the Carribean on either French, Dutch, Spanish or English Galleons.

You then trade, pillage and plunder your way to to infamy.

Its very playable with a couple of different mini - games. You have to dance with Govenors daughters in attempt woo them, get important information out of them and eventually marry them.

You have to look for buried treasure, fight the most famous pirates in history, look for lost Incan civilisations and lute prosperous towns.

It is a very good game, and I play it daily. If, live Mr Vic Reeves and myself, you have an interest in all thing piratical (a made up word there) or nautical, then the pirat-epedia (Sid Meier's fans will know he puts a "pedia" in all of his games) will teach you a bit too.

Summary: Good story lots of fun
