Has all the makings of the great sleeper hit of 2002.

I recommend Pirates for those that are looking for something more than a straightforward hack and slash game – something a little more engaging.

Though it isn't totally remarkable from a technical standpoint, Pirates is an endearing and well-thought-out game.

It's likely to really impress strict adventure fans - but perhaps feel a little dull to faster paced gamers.

For a game so short on looks and character, Black Kat is surprisingly engaging. [May 2002, p.109]

There’s nothing terribly wrong with the game but there’s also nothing terribly special either.

The game is in serious need of some diversity – namely, some platforming and/or puzzle elements. [Apr 2002, p.59]

The year is 2024 and he can still play it with pleasure. The fact that it is a game beyond its time, both in terms of the atmosphere and the gameplay, is obvious. I really wish a new game would be released, oh my dreams, oh

This game is such a classic beat em up game. One of the best pirate games of all the time. The graphics might a bit dated, but the gameplay is still solid.
