Pirates of the Caribbean Review

Firing Squad has posted their review of Pirates of the Caribbean, giving the game a less than enthusiastic overall rating of 59%. Here are their final thoughts:

For all its faults, Pirates of the Caribbean remains merely a mediocre game thanks to a strong core of gameplay mechanics that manage to shine through the horrible updates’ forced upon the game since Sea Dogs. The beautiful graphics no doubt help, and the campaign is quite interesting.

On the down side, there’s everything else. It’s the rare game that manages to disappoint as decisively as Pirates of the Caribbean. The real potential of this title is so readily apparent beneath the surface, it’s easy to forgive anyone who overlooks the flaws and argues that PotC is a good game. In the end, however, the pirate-game-turned-micro-economic-sim Port Royale makes a convincing argument to relegate Pirates of the Caribbean to a bargain bin.
