This is a really nice game, if you're looking for a "toy"-game. Because that's what it is. It's like playing in the sandbox again, and I love it! Very atmospheric settings and lots of ships to play with. The dancing mini-game is actually a lot more fun than it sounds. Fencing is ok, but not why I play it. It do get a bit repetitive after a while, but hey, what did you expect from a sandbox?

Buy this game if you are tired of "shot 30 zombies and return for a reward" -games or "Run this errand in less than 2 minutes, and get a super bana cap!" and want to play around for a while.
