Originally posted by Bars: Age of Sail? You sure its not "Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales"? You are correct--While I was typing it, I was thinking about Akella's worst naval game--AOS II, which always gets my blood prssure up. Edited now.

Caribbean Tales is designed in the same vein as Sid Meier's "Pirates". It combines the multiple genres of RPG, RTS, FPS, action adventure, and age of sail naval combat set in sort of a Caribbean version of Grand Theft Auto.
It is kind of the same idea as the some of the space games like Freelancer or the X2,X3 space games. There is a story line, but you are not supposed be forced to follow it.
From Akella's descriptions, Captain Blood is more of a strict story based pirate themed game. It may be sort of a 3rd person shooter, but i am guessing here.
The shots I saw looked pretty stupid with bare chested characters hacking at each other with goofy fantasy swords. Personally, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
Cheers
