Reviews

If you missed the original game 18 years ago, you should definitely pick this up – it could be another 18 years before they make something this purely fun again. This remake of the 1987 PC classic isn’t so much one game as an extremely well put together collection of simple but fun minigames. All of the different modes in Sid Meier’s Pirates!: Live the Life have completely different gameplay, but with the help of Disney-style pirating (pillaging, but no raping) and swashbuckling they weave together to form a highly entertaining experience.
