Review: The highlight of Sid Meier's Pirates Wii game are the sea battles. PG rating is spot on with busty barmaids that are a bit over-the-top for young viewers. There are many elements to the game to keep you entertained, strategy, enhancing your character & fighting. Sink as many ships as you can while collecting the treasure, but be warned you need to be screwd when trading and look after your men otherwise you may loose your crew.
