Port Royale 2 opinion

Cobalt · Powder Monkey Posts: 10 **621 Gold** -

I'm strongly considering getting Port Royale 2 for the PC. The reviews I saw were good, but I was wondering if other people who have or had the game to tell me what they thought of it (and why).

Thanks for the advice! Sailor

P.S. I'm pretty sure that Port Royale 2 works in Windows XP, but if it doesn't, please let me know.

I've never even heard of that game and judging from the # of replys to this (0) no one else has either.

I know it took a while to reply, but I bought the game first. I think it's a good game. It has everything you can think of. Read the review on GameSpot. Once you buy it, you'll be addicted to playing it. It has the following goods: Wheat, Food, Wood, Bricks. Corn, Sugar, Cotton, Hemp, Meat, Garments, Rope, Rum, Coffee, Cocoa, Dyes, Tobacco, Spices, Wine and Tools. You can buy ships which include: Pinnace, Sloop, Brig, Barque, Pirate Barque, Flute, Trading Flute-Ship, Corvette, Frigate, Military Corvette, Military Frigate, Galleon, Carrack, Caravel, War Galleon and Ship of the Line. You do missions for the Governor, build or buy businesses. Workers can go on strike. Keep them happy. Build housing when island become too crowded. Build schools, hospitals, warehouses, docks, inns (which you can gamble in), churches, etc. Transport workers from one island to another. Attack pirates and their towns. Sign letters of Marque which allows you to attack ships of other nations. Build your own town. Get married. The governors daughters are all beautiful. Plus a ton of other things to do. If you like micro-management and pirating, get this game. You will need to get a ledger to help keep track of what each town produces, but I like doing that anyway, so it's no bother.
The best thing about it is, I bought it at BestBuy for $9.99. Way cheap for such a good game. The only bad thing about it is, it doesn't come with a hard manual. You have to go into the file folder and read it with Acrobat Reader. Other than that, I would buy it. It's worth it!
