Sid Meier's Pirates! on the Wii offers a swashbuckling adventure full of thrilling ship battles, treasure hunts, and high-seas intrigue. You'll build your reputation as a fearsome pirate, clashing with rival captains, charming governors' daughters, and exploring the vibrant Caribbean. While the Wii controls add a unique feel to sword duels and ship navigation, the Wii port, unfortunately, suffers from technical hiccups and simplified elements compared to its classic PC counterpart.

While this is still really one of the best games out there, the speed the game runs weakens my opinion of it, though I absolutly ADORE the customization options in this game, and I enjoy the achievement system aswell.
