| | Sid Meier's Pirates! (XBOX) Reviews on Darkstation |
| | Sid Meier's Pirates has a lot of great things going for it and it all starts with the amount of options that the game gives you and the ability to really decide what you want to do and when you want to do it. | | | Sid Meier's Pirates is a great game that has some minor flaws that really hold it back from being in that elite category. | | | What I liked about Sid Meier's Pirates is that there are so many different things to do in the game. |

| | Civilization Fanatics' Center: Sid Meier's Legacy (GameSpot) |
| | Sid seems reticent about doing this kind of campaign-style game again, but given the recent success of similar games such as Panzer General, you never know. | | | Sid's enthusiasm, so evident in games such as Sid Meier's Pirates or Silent Service (both of which he would design in the next two years), was severely dampened here - mainly because everyone associated with the project wanted to treat the subject seriously. | | | The Sid Meier philosophy has always been to keep the pace of the game moving, and to keep it fun. |

| | Sid Meier: Our approach to making games is to find the fun first and then use the technology to enhance the fun. | | | Sid Meier: Well, we've developed games across many different genres, so that's not the answer. | | | With "Sid Meier's Pirates!" out now across Europe, and reviewed elsewhere on the site today, we tracked down the Firaxis chief and asked him what to expect, what happened to "Dinosaurs!", what's going on in the PC strategy genre right now and how he accounts for Firaxis's success in an increasingly tough market. |

| | Sid Meier's Pirates! Xbox review at games xtreme |
| | Sid Meiers has injected a very Cutthroat Island; Pirates of the Caribbean, any Swashbuckler genre movie/book feel to the game and has done so with a larger than life style and execution. | | | It combines addictive gameplay with a good solid engine, delivers a fun and long-lasting experience as you try out various different directions for your main character and most of all has a feel of open-ended exploration that is often missing from a lot of new games. | | | Pirates is a fun and addictive game with a lot of replay value, the addition of Xbox Live MP would have really spun this into something so much more - but if you love games like these get it. |

| | Sid Meier is the padre which has had a huge amount of influence on current gaming trends; namely those revolving around the “sim” and strategy train of thought. | | | Sid brought us games like Civilization, and Railroad Tycoon which revolutionized PC gaming in the early 90’s. | | | The beauty of an open-ended game made of smaller games with a finite length is that you’ll get to experiment with many different ways of playing Sid Meier’s Pirates! |
