Summary

This ain't no land duck!

The Good

I didn't like this game at first, probably because I was hoping it would play similarly to The Ancient Art of War (at land). But this old duck's quack grew on me. It is kinda fun. Broadside your opponent's ship into oblivion. Or try to board and take over a untouched (and therefore fully crewed) merchant ship. The interface is very easy to learn.

The Bad

The computer AI was too dumb. The game would have been a lot more fun if it were harder.

The Bottom Line

This game is fun as is, but the real potential is if they remade this game using modern day sound, graphics, and most importantly, multi-player features.
