Description
England, two hundred years ago, was a dangerous and volatile place to live.
In those days, escaping into a bottle of grog might have seemed like a good idea, but thanks to men like Andrew Miller, the Royal Navy's most notorious press-ganger, you were all too likely to awake from your stupor and find your self at sea aboard a Royal Navy Ship-of-the-Line with the full force of the combined French and Spanish Navies bearing down on you.

On the plus side (assuming you manage to avoid being blown to bits, hacked you to pieces by the ship surgeon or lost at sea) there's always the chance you might live to capture a prize galleon and become rich beyond your wildest dreams.
-
• Play your part in historic recreations of actual naval battles!
• Use the elements to your advantage as you smash and grab from enemy frigates!
• Seek and destroy up to five friends in 3 multi-player modes!

This game is completely under rated. These games done by Channel Four are historically accurate, very good quality, and has had time and effort put in.

This game rocks!
Handling a sailing ship should be a challenge, so the argument that it is too difficult is just whining.
The sailing is great, for the most part. Its not perfect, as the fastest point of sailing should be with the wind on the quarter (not running before the wind) but just having it matter at all makes the game very interesting!
The single-player missions were all easy to beat. The multi-play is very satisfying PVP.
I look forward to playing this game a lot more.

great strategy: All you need is speed and handling as high as you can get, if you go fast enough and ram someone's ship, they are damaged and you are not. Please rate this up so people can see it. Thanks

Really nice concept. We don't get to see a lot of games like this one. It has very nice ideas, but, unfortunetly, very bad features as well. Nice wind physics, but we should be able to control de acceleration a little bit more (besides dropping the ancor, should be possible to sail with 0 up to 3 sails "opened"). The handling is also terrible, it ruins most of the game fun, as well as the auto-zoom (should be controlled by the user). I agree that buying and improving parts of the ship would be just awesome, but the crew idea is very clever. Last thing is...the loot disappears too soon, sometimes I just kept going round and round the loot because of the bad handling and I lost it. Also, when you accomplish the objetives, you don´t have time to sail over the loot. We always lose the last ship loot.
Very original game: 3/5..but I, as many other people, expect to see some improvements, as this game has so much potential
