Pirates: Live The Life

Video game

Description: Fun, colorful and simple-to-play pirate adventure to take you away from the daily grind. Run away and join a scurrilous crew of sea dogs, or sail the seas as captain of your own ship.

Take the leading role of a 17th century pirate captain sailing the Caribbean Sea, winning fortune and fame in an attempt to seize your rightful place as one of the most revered (and feared!) pirates in history.

Test your skills as an adventurous seafarer, exploring the high seas and exotic ports in a richly detailed 3-D world.

Great gameplay and design simplicity, varied role-playing experience that includes multiple paths to a colorful life, a longstanding vendetta laid to rest, and a wealthy retirement.
