In Sid Meier' s Pirates! players take the leading role of a Pirate Captain in the 17th century Caribbean - amassing fortune and fame in an attempt to seize a rightful place as one of the most revered and feared pirates in history.

Players test their skills as a sea captain exploring the high seas and exotic ports in a richly detailed 3-D world. As your reputation and skills grow, so will the size and quality of your crew, your ability to take on larger enemy ships, raid and plunder heavily fortified ports, and locate ancient treasure.

Sid Meier' s Pirates! for Xbox will include a Vs mode and will take advantage of many Xbox Live! capabilities, high fidelity 5.1 Dolby Digital surround and will support HDTV.

Sid Meier' s Pirates! is currently in development for the PC and the Xbox video game system from Microsoft and is scheduled to release worldwide in spring 2005.

Looks good.

I just cannot wait for this title...I love the ship-to-ship combat, the sword fighting, and the treasure hunting based upon real history...so if you know your history, you' ll know when those Spanish galleons were heading back to Spain with all that gold!!!

Man, I loved the original!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soon, I will be able to return to those good old days....3D style!!!!!
