A special kind of Game for s special kind of person. Easy to play but difficult to master in one playthrough so be ready for the learning curve. The problem is that you won't know there is one until pirates and missions decide to give you a weggie for not poneying up the lunch money.

Negitives out of the way, Sailing Era is a great game. It's well thought out, plays well, and can really eat away at the clock if you let it. The stories are decent, if a little bland but your not really buying this game for compelling story. Buy it because you want to sail around the world. Buy it if you have time to burn and love simulation games. Buy it for when your in-between games and don't know what to play.

Do not buy this game hoping to be suprised, it's exactly what it looks like. This is not a high stakes or a fast paced game. Sailing Era is fun but like the Sims or other sim games it can get stale after a few setbacks.

It's a classic case of different strokes for different folks
