This is the follow-up to lacklustre WiiWare title Pirates: The Key of Dreams. This is essentially the same game, about which we have the same opinion. So, “take charge of a pirate ship... it’s a life of navigating angular waterways populated by fleets of enemy vessels, which you destroy either with standard broadsides or finite bow-fired weapons... it’s all quite jolly for the first level but once you’ve progressed a bit further you realize how little variety there is... multiplayer free-for-alls add a little spice to the formula, but overall this is a yo-ho-no.”
Did we really say “yo-ho-no”? Ha! How funny we are. Anyway, we gave the original a 4. Which sounds about right.
