Listen closely. You hear that? Yes, we do believe that’s the sound of another oncoming typhoon of Tuesday releases. Don’t fight it! You can’t resist! Especially when… yes, that’s right, it's Sid Meier’s Pirates!, the very same swashbuckling PC adventure sim you may recall from yesteryear, here to make its triumphant launch onto the PSP! Man the deck, mates!
"Given the immense popularity of Sid Meier's Pirates!, offering a PSP version of the game updated and optimized for the handheld market is a great way to expand its appeal," reasons Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. "With the accessibility of the game combined with the portability of the PSP system and the wireless multiplayer features, we're confident Sid Meier's Pirates! will be a hit with on-the-go gamers."
And as a 17th century sea captain looking to notch his name into pirate history, you’ll have quite the agenda ahead. Hunt down the countless secrets of the Caribbean, from hidden treasure to long lost relatives. Sneak through towns and in and out of buildings while having it out with those troublesome guards. Battle rival ships and launch a full-on invasion with no remorse. Dance with Governor’s daughter and win her over with your priceless charm, while keeping a close eye on daddy’s stash. Erm, play with up to four other players in Wi-Fi multiplayer. Phew! Who knew being a pirate demanded so much work?
Sid Meier’s Pirates! has arrived, sporting an attractive $29.99 price tag, which means we can all do a nautically-themed happy dance to celebrate. Hurrah!
