Sid Meier's Pirates 

 

Video games have a dirty little secret. When companies can not come up with an idea for a new game, they pick pirates or ninjas. Yes it is very lazy of them. Obviously Firaxis Games wanted to do a mini game compilation on the Wii. So they used Sid Meier’s Pirates, and it came out as you might expect.

Your family is imprisoned by the Marque. That authority figure may be different if you play a different nation. Gamers can pick French, English, Dutch, and Spanish). Your goal in Sid Meier’s Pirates is revenge. Early on in the game you mutiny against your captain and become the pirate captain of your own ship.

Players are given missions to perform in Sid Meier’s Pirates. This is what gets you through the story elements of this home console criminal re-enactment video game. You can also go after ships sailing around. Get into a battle, and board their ship. As long as you beat their captain in a sword duel you get their ship. If you lose you go to jail.

On top of the violent content, Sid Meier’s Pirates also contains bad language and enticement to lust. In my opinion Sid Meier’s Pirates should have a ‘T’ for thirteen and older only rating. The ESRB looks bad for giving this game an ‘E10+’ for Everyone ten years old and older. Ten year olds do not need to have those words and images shoved in their faces.

The mini games in Sid Meier’s Pirates are simplistic and boring. The controls in things like sailing is frustrating at best. Other controls in Sid Meier’s Pirates are okay. Players are also able to sink ships after capturing them. Why would you do that when you are trying to build a fleet? You need so many sailors to properly sail each of the ships.
