I am very pleased with the game, a fun story line and other fun features. I was caught playing for several hours, and the its great to see another Port Royale type game! The sound was not of the best quality but pertaining to each situation it was adjusted. The missions can be challenging but a seasoned player would have no trouble. Sea battle sequences are very fun, having different cannonnball rounds being fired. One feature I particullary like is the fencing/ deuling, either boarding ships or fighting a drunken guard. I am not fond of the abilirty to sneak into town, but maybe its just that I am bad at it! A overall fun game!
