Summary: Nothing but the truth, so helpme god.
Review: Potc is a good game. All you have to do is get use to the controls. I changed a few of the macros, and it works perfectly. The graphics are out of this world. The game run very smooth on my computer. This game doesn't need a patch on it. Black hawk down needs a patch on it. PEACE: SOME OF THE BEST GRAPHICS I HAVE EVER SEEN ON ANY GAME. One reviewer, stated that there was no first person perspective, escept while sailing. I would like to tell this reviewer, if he will hit the tab key, he will have a first person view on land except when you approach an object or door,automatically reverts back to a third person view. I consider this helpful while playing the game. If you don't won't to do a lot of walking , you can hit the -enter key-, and the left arrow key to move from one place to another in an instant.

Summary: Fret not for there are peg legs for all!
Review: Salvation has arrived! To all of those who believe that this game is not worthy of any merit, you should swab the decks! It is incredibly sad that Disney had to come along and wreck the beautiful Sea Dogs 2 party, releasing a game that isn't finished - but all hope is not lost. The game is extremely buggy, but underneath all those bugs is *gasp* Sea Dogs 2. The game is still extremely fun to play, cruising around the Caribbean looting merchany ships and plundering the many isles in the expanse of sea. To say that this game is a waste of time would be unfounded, and the modders over in the original Sea Dogs forums have already made great strides in the improvement of the gameplay and other bugs, and in a couple more weeks, will have an outstanding game. Look in the forums at the original Sea Dogs website for more information. The mods have mainly fixed gameplay issues - such as replacing the shotty control system which you have no option of changing in game. So don't throw this one to Davey Jones' Locker - It will make you say Arrr to your hearts content.

Summary: Worst game ever, period.
Review: The controls are terrible. Once you get used to them, you realize that the combat engine is terrible. The graphics are nice, but so what? This game just isn't fun.

Summary: Pretty good game
Review: This game is pretty fun I have to say. Pretty open-ended, but I would have preferred for Bethesda to spend another month on the game and make it more Morrowind-style. What I mean by this is that it's pretty annoying to enter house after house and have doors locked all around you. It makes going into houses not even worth it.For the people who say that this game is too difficult, I'm afraid I have to disagee. Perhaps they haven't learned to block and dodge (the latter of which is a necessity to learn in the mid-upper game due to the fact that the enemy's swords get high piercing abilities and can slash through your block easily). Naval battles are also a lot of fun, though in the early game having a Lugger makes it impossible to duke it out with any ship, though your ship is fast so you can easily board bigger ships. The level-up system is really nice I think. For each level you gain you get 2 skill points to level up various skills, and one ability point, which lets you get a special ability. Now the bad parts. The game was rushed. It's very obvious. I still think incorporating PotC was a really bad move. All throughout the game there are spelling errors, spacing errors, and sometimes words are just downright missing! I expect Bethesda to jump on that immediately. Next is that the land battles start to get repetitive. There's nothing new about them. If I'm running to X town from X shore, or vice versa and I see people on the road, I immediately shoot them because I know they're going to be highwaymen. There are also other things that bring down the quality of the game. I think another month or two in development would have made this a pirate-version of Morrowind, which would have made the game SO much better. Bethesda made a good game out of what could have been a terriffic game, which is sad.

Summary: Prepare to be Boarded.. Or is that bored?
Review: This game seems to have a lot of great points, but also a lot of bad points. The graphics are well done.. Characters and ships look nice, the storm effects are beautiful.. Land textures are well detailed and don't get boring. I remember seeing an ad that claimed sea-battles featured "Spectacular Explosions".. If a cannonball smashing a ship's hull resulting in a red and orange ball of "fire" to be displayed are spectacular, then the graphics are flawless! The sound seems to be a problem for me. Any time spent in the "port" section of a city, or half the time while in a sea battle, the sound is garbled and slows down. The game runs at normal speed, but the sound (speech mostly) is slowed down dramatically. Contacting technical support proved to be pointless, so it's something I have to deal with. When the sound isn't garbled or slowing down, it's still not all that great. Every NPC says one thing in greeting when you speak with them, and most of the time it's nothing useful or even enjoyable. Gameplay? This is probably where the game shines.. There are numerous quests in each city, or you can sail the seas, stealing pirate ships and selling them for profit. Battles and boarding are entertaining, and it can be fun to try and keep your worthless officers alive long enough to get past the enemy crew. Now one big problem I have is the rushed feeling the game has. The text dialogue is full of spelling errors and spacing errors.. As well as apparently buggy quest scripts. Twice I had to deliver goods, I got it to the person I had to deliver to, and the script to turn it in never appeared. A couple of re-loads later and it worked fine. Also in one place I got someone to join my party, which opened a quest script, and when he died during boarding it never closed.. So now there's an open quest I can never complete. After a couple of patches this game will definately have potential. I don't think it'll ever match Morrowind, but it's definately going to be good. If you're looking forward to getting this game, I'd definately suggest waiting until it's been out for a couple months, and the bugs are ironed out. It will be MUCH more enjoyable at that point.

Summary: A great rpg
Review: This game, by no means, is for newbies. IF you think your a real rpg gamer then this is teh game for you. It will take work for you too build up your forces and your ship, but after that things are smooth sailing. SUre teh combat isn't the best but it's the rpg physics and exploration that count, you will never run out of open water or islands..... never. The game also has a deep stat and skill system which both lend themselves to brilliance. The graphics are the best point of the game, too much greatness to be had. Better than it's counterpart morrowind in that department this game gives you a wet dream every time you look upon it. Simply put, this game needs to be bought, it's great roleplaying and great fun. Don't let reviews fool you, this game is exceptionally good.

Summary: What a waste of time and money
Review: This is my first review - ever. But I felt a sense of duty to let everyone know if you didn't buy this game yet, DON'T. This game is a complete waste of time. Don't buy it. It's nothing at all like Seadogs. A lot of reviewers rave about the great graphics, and they are great when you can see them. But forget about doing anything at night or when it's raining, it's virtually impossible to see anything. All you do is walk around in almost total blackness bumping into everything. If it starts getting dark at all, you have to go to a tavern, if you can, and wait until morning. At least in Seadogs, the lanterns were lit. If you're in the jungle, or anywhere outside of town, you may as well reload the game from where you left off. And what the *$!) is with the storms at sea? You can't control the ship, you can't see, and you just sit there until you reload the game or your ship sinks. I loved Seadogs, and couldn't wait until this game came out, then finally got it this past Christmas. I spent over half the game time so far wandering around in the dark. What a letdown.

Summary: Solid game if you are patient
Review: Unfortunately, the instruction booklet is woefully slim for such a large, complex game. The result is that the game seems incredibly difficult at first. After stumbling across a few of the major controls that aren't even mentioned in the book (space bar allows you to land once you are in range of an island's coast; officers die quickly unless you keep them stocked with healing potion; tab bar allows you to see the entire archipelago instead of sailing endlessly in search of islands, etc). After getting the hang of it, though, there's a lot to love here - great storyline, audio terrific graphics, sinister missions and clever character interactions.
