Summary

Under the bugs lies true entertainment

The Good

The ability to start a pirating career with a green crew and a small ship and finally becoming a man of wealth and honor was never more fun. Depending on how well you do, the game will reveal the fate of your character. The fortune, women, and property you amass will be waiting for you in retirement. These dynamic endings make playing this game well worth it.

The Bad

Saving every other screen on 2 different save slots because of all the BUGS! The crash bugs in this game would make this game unplayable if it weren't so rewarding to make it to the finish.

The Bottom Line

Cruising the caribbean looking for gold, women, and fame was never better. Although you may never make it to the finish because of the odds of a fatal game bug, it is definitely worth trying!
