Pirates of the Caribbean Review

ActionTrip has posted a review of Pirates of the Caribbean, giving the sea-based RPG an overall score of 81%. Their closing comments to follow:

From a purely technical standpoint, this game doesn’t deserve more than 77, but I’ve used my prerogative as a reviewer to add a few points based on my personal tilt. All those many hours of fun and addictive gameplay I got from playing PotC was enough of an incentive for me to overlook certain technical drawbacks and lack of more polish when scoring the game. Fans of the original will certainly appreciate the effort that Akella has put into the sequel, and I’m convinced that Pirates of the Caribbean offers a deeper gameplay experience than the original. This in turn justifies the slightly inflated score. Bear in mind, however, that the game might scare off certain less patient gamers, as its interface is rather crude and confusing, and it actually takes some time to get into the swing of things.
