I can simply say that the one of the best game I have ever played in 15 years. Many thanx to Ascaron... If you're thinking to buy this game, definetely buy it. When you buy the game, in order to understand it, first play the tutorials. After that off to free play or other scenarios. I have also played Sid Meier's Pirates but it feels like playing a cartoon game. In PR2 you can be a pirate, trader or whatever you wanna be. Do the tasks which your viceroy gives and after some tasks your viceroy grants your own land so that you can start your very own settlement. Luvly...
