Yes it's quite good, but rather difficult but there are 10 difficulty levels ranging from Sailor to Impossible.

It takes a while to get used to the fighting controls.
It's real pain fighting multiple enemies, you have to run a little and fight a little. :P

The fighting part was easier in PoTC.


The sailing part is the same as in the earlier games IIRC, except that the guns can be destroyed by enemy fire or by firing them ( It has do to do with the corresponding skill I think ) One thing is for sure, it's annoying when you lose firepower, especially in a lugger or a sloop.


I liked the system in Sid Meier's Pirates! better with "divide the plunder" more than the system with monthly salary in Akella's games, ( You want HOW much?! )
And they need rum and food as well.

Escorting merchants, transporting cargo and taking passengers where they want to go is a good way to earn some money at the start.


After the learning period it can be fun but expect some frustration with the fighting on land and in boarding battles though. And SAVE OFTEN!! I've made that mistake playing for some time and not saving.
