    Thumbs up

    As AOS 2 seems to be almost universally despised on this forum, you might all be interested in the following:-

    Anybody else notice the extremely crappy waves and graphics that look like canine fecal matter? The background is decisively 2d, too.

    Might be a cool game but horrible graphics Those aren't waves They look like cardboard thing that people are shaking The sun background looks like a really bad hollywood set.

    if you like pirate/sailing games, try the remake of the 1987 classic PIRATES, when it comes out later this year.

    Pirates isn't a cartoon.
    the graphics might look a little bit on that side, but anyone that has played the original Pirates knows its basically a open-ended RPG with lots of action and battles and swordfights.
    you can choose many careers from a peaceful trader, to a swashbuckling pirate to a national corsair.

    it really is a good game.
    i would suggest it to anyone who likes open ended rpgs, and or sailing games.
    thanks, dessa
