Well, here's another review, this time by PC Gamer. They were somewhat kinder to our piratical friends at Akella, giving the game an overall 75%, or "Good". Here are the bare bones:
Highs: Fantastic ocean graphics and entertaining ship battles; lots to do.
Lows: Land battles are simple in comparison to sea forays; storyline weaker than its gameplay.
Bottom Line: A somewhat shallow, yet ultimately satisfying, swashbuckling RPG set on the high seas.
It's nice to see a positive review, but there isn't one word about the bugs, CTD's, locked-out areas or Starforce. Which leads me to wonder how long the reviewer actually played the game. But I'm just being a sourgrapes, and ya gotta love the review's tag line (see topic description).. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
