Sid Meier debuts on the PSP System with his award-winning adventure/strategy game, Sid Meier’s Pirates! Take on the role of a Pirate Captain to amass fortune and fame and seize your rightful place as one of the most revered and feared pirates in history.
- Wireless Multiplayer - Up to 4 players can play simultaneously using the Wi-Fi capabilities of the PSP System, each with their own dedicated screen. Additional multi-player maps, some of them much larger than those seen on Xbox, have also been added.
- Treasure Hunt - The treasure hunt feature removed in the Xbox version has been re-introduced into the game. There are around 20 unique locations that the player will have to navigate around to collect pirate treasure, find lost relatives, and Incan cities.
- Accessible User Interface - The menus and user interface are optimized for use on a portable device. The Widescreen display is fully utilized and the controls available on the unit are used to their maximum potential. Navigating is smooth; the player won't miss their mouse at all!
- Stealth/Sneaking - Using a 3D tile-based environment, players move one square at a time around a large grid of buildings to hide for cover and fight with guards in the town.
- Land and Sea Battles - The player fights in the same grid/turn based fashion as the PC/Xbox. Engage in fierce naval battles, against both single vessels and multi-ship convoys. Harrowing action sequences on ship decks include swinging from yard arms, slashing down sails, and clobbering enemy crew as players make their way to the enemy captain.
