Slightly repetitious but still a great game.

The best part is the ship battles and the sword fights. I would recommend playing with an external keyboard and mouse, and as soon as you get the hang of it on easy mode, switch to a tougher mode.

And you really feel like a pirate when you rack up a dislike rating with one of the powers that be, so much so that they send ships after you.

All in all: Great game.
