I never got to try this on the PC and happened to see it at a Gamestop for $9 so I thought I'd give it a try.I put it in my Wii last night at 8pm and had to stop playing around 11 so I could get up this morning. It was a blast. It still amazes me how much a good game can make up in gameplay as compared to trying to wow us with graphics.
Its too bad to as i had just gotten a Brigantine with 24 guns and couldn't wait to see what I could go out and plunder next.I was having such a good time my kid wants to try it now. thats saying something too considering it pulled her away from a game she had just gotten Kirby's Epic Yarn I think its called.

Had this on 360 I think. Really great game other than the horrible dancing crap. The ship battles were fun.
