Anyway, the basic object of pirates is to assemble a force of Ships, Crew, and other seafaring monstrosities that can either A, decimate all the Ships, Crew, and Monstrosities of your opponent, or B, plunder all the treasure from all of the islands of the game map.
Even though Pirates is made by Wizkids one of the bigger collectible games companies out there, it is actually regarded as somewhat of an indie (independent) game in flavor, mostly due to the innovation, and as such it tends to draw the indie gamer crowd.
Even though the game is technically a collectible miniatures, or more specifically a “pocket model” game, it feels a lot like a board game you can continuously add on to, which makes it great for random gatherings that may or may not involve pretzels and age appropriate alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages.

 Game Over Online Magazine - Sid Meier's Pirates!
This game allows your flagship to attack one or two other ships (sometimes merchant ships get escorts), and it means you’ll have to maneuver your ship and fire your cannons to weaken and then typically board the opponent ship (it’s worth more to capture a ship than to sink it).
Unfortunately, while you can re-map the keys, you can only do this by editing an.ini file and not through the game’s interface, and so those of you who don’t like the default mapping, or who don’t have a numpad, are in for a rougher road than you should have to deal with.
The balance in the game is a little off (it’s way too easy to gain ranks with nations), there are some realism issues (ships are repaired instantly, and you never run out of ammunition), and the gameplay can get a little repetitive, since you’ll be playing the three main mini-games over and over again.

 Kikizo Games: Review: Sid Meier's Pirates!
This game draws you in, puts a big smile on your face and makes you want to shout "Yarr!" at five-minute intervals - it his spirit that other games only dream of.
in-game environment is huge and the map is randomly drawn each time you start a game - getting from one side of the seven seas to the other takes about half a year of game time.
This game is a fine purchase for anyone looking for a slice of seven-seas adventure in their own home, and a worthy update to the original Sid Meier classic.

 Pirates Constructible Strategy Game Online - An Online Seafaring Adventure!
Like many real pirates, Jack knows that having a reputation that precedes him actually helps him avoid trouble; many ships, seeing a pirate flag heading their way, were apt to surrender if they recognized the particular symbols on the flag as belonging to a notorious torturer or killer.
Those pirates who had actually committed to giving up their criminal pasts were sent out after those who had fled, in a very clever strategy indeed.

The game takes users on an amazing adventure while you live the life of a pirate while uncovering the truth about your family, revenge their murders, and go on to win the fair girl's heart while fending off evil pirate overlords.
The entire game should take about 35 to 40 hours which is a nice good depth to the game and is about the target for a PC adventure title.
The longevity of the game hits the mark, and although the game is indeed a remake, it has such an amazing original charm that it's impossible for it not to become one of your more favorite titles.

 IGN: Sid Meier's Pirates! Live the Life Review
The game's brilliance, in fact, is giving way to its diversions, going with the flow, and losing yourself to whims, sidetracking tasks, and risk-taking ventures.
Living the life of a pirate, a free-trading merchant of sorts, you're able to participate in the colonization of the Caribbean islands as they're fought over by the French, Dutch, English, Spanish, actual rogue pirates, and local tribal people.
One of the game's most brilliant yet simple aspects is that you can attack any ship from any country, with each attack producing varying consequences.

 Like the movie, 'Pirates' game falls flat - Games - msnbc.com
"Pirates" is available on every viable console from the Xbox 360 to the Nintendo DS, although this review is primarily aimed at the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of the game, each rated Teen and retailing at $60.
The game seems paced for very young players, but the appeal of "Pirates" crosses all ages, and many older fans of the movies will be disappointed by the lack of a challenge.
Eurocom smartly frames the entire game as a Jack Sparrow simulation that hits favorite scenes from the movie trilogy, but the gameplay itself is just too shallow to engage anybody but the youngest of buccaneers or gamers that don't mind sending $60 to walk the plank for some easy Achievements.

There's times when you want to be absolutely in love with a game, and this title does a lot right, but it ultimately falls short in what is initially so good at: making mini-games of tasks.
The life of a pirate is often told as reckless, dangerous, yet fun and rewarding.
Even though a game like this breathes fresh air into the very repetitive and unoriginal world of gaming, it still has flaws, like the extreme lack of replay value, and the multiplayer battles, can only be fun for so long.

 Time Pirates game review
Time Pirates comes with two boards (a playing board and one to hold the scoring tiles so everyone can easily see which tiles have been taken), six player pawns, a time police pawn, 37 scoring tiles, 76 artifact tiles, 10 time police tiles, and a drawstring bag from which to draw artifacts at random.
His movement in the game is random and largely ineffectual - one has an image of some Laurel and Hardy policeman stumbling through time looking for pirates while tripping over their loot and not even noticing it.
So most of the game is greedingly grabbing all the artifacts you can, redeeming them for scoring tiles, moving to other epochs to greedily grab more artifacts while avoiding the time police, etc., etc., and not necessarily strictly in that order...
