Sid Meier's Pirates!

A very fun game

I have played and "beaten" this game like ten times. It is very fun, but really there is absolutely nothing to this game. The story line stinks, and I lost track of how many times I killed Baron Raymondo. Sword fighting really isn't a challenge, and the ship battles really don't do much. All that being said I still really like the game. The Spanish beautiful daughter is the only one I went for. Graphics were good. But if they ever make a sequel, make sure that it is not this open-ended, with a real story line and missions that you can actually finish without traveling in Panama for four months and not finding anything. However for those of you looking for a good pirate game that has some historical backing and a few good laughs definitely pick this up
